Trip Unit and Rating Plug
The Trip Unit and Rating Plug is a device used to protect electrical equipment from overcurrent conditions. It consists of two main components: the trip unit and the rating plug.
- Trip Unit: This component contains the mechanism that trips the circuit breaker when an overcurrent occurs.
- Rating Plug: This component specifies the maximum current rating of the circuit breaker. It is inserted into the trip unit and determines the tripping threshold.
The Trip Unit and Rating Plug work together to ensure that electrical equipment is protected from damage caused by excessive current flow.
