If you’ve ever plugged in or powered up too many things in at once, chances are you’ve managed to “trip” a breaker, causing the power to go out. But have you ever stopped to think about what’s really happening? Just like the breakers in your home, industrial circuit breakers are designed to protect the wiring and equipment that they are connected to, in the event of an overload. Here, we discuss the different types of industrial circuit breakers, how they work, and what they offer.
In the Control Cabinet Classroom video series, Phoenix Contact Product Specialists Zach and Karen break down some of the basics of control cabinet design, terminology and technology to be able to better understand and utilize this powerful solution.
