Description
The 49K1401 Circuit Breaker is a reliable and essential electrical component designed to protect your electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. With its 2-pole configuration, 40A current rating, and common trip mechanism, this circuit breaker is engineered to ensure the safety and functionality of your electrical system.
With a voltage rating of 120/240V, this circuit breaker is suitable for a wide range of applications, including residential and commercial electrical panels. Its 2-pole design means that it can simultaneously disconnect both the hot and neutral conductors, providing comprehensive protection against overcurrent events.
The 49K1401 Circuit Breaker is equipped with a common trip mechanism, which means that if one pole experiences an overload or short circuit, both poles will trip simultaneously. This feature is crucial for preventing electrical imbalances and ensuring that both sides of a circuit are protected uniformly. It also simplifies troubleshooting and resets when necessary.
Installation of this circuit breaker is straightforward, provided it is done by a qualified electrician or professional. It can be securely mounted in standard electrical panels or enclosures using compatible mounting hardware. Its compact design saves space within the panel while offering robust protection.
One of the key advantages of the 49K1401 Circuit Breaker is its ability to be reset after a tripping event. This eliminates the need for replacing fuses and allows for the rapid restoration of power to the affected circuit. However, it's essential to investigate and address the cause of the tripping event to prevent recurring issues.
