Circuit Breaker, Auxiliary Contact
A circuit breaker is an electrical device designed to protect circuits from overcurrent conditions. It automatically interrupts the flow of electricity when the current exceeds a predetermined limit.
An auxiliary contact is an additional set of contacts that are electrically connected to the main contacts of a circuit breaker. These contacts can be used for various purposes, such as:
- Signaling: To indicate whether the circuit breaker is open or closed.
- Control: To activate other electrical devices or circuits when the circuit breaker trips.
- Monitoring: To monitor the status of the circuit breaker and provide feedback to control systems.
