Additional Details

The KD2300's molded case construction provides a durable and reliable enclosure for the internal components. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism combines thermal and magnetic sensing elements to detect both overload and short circuit conditions. When an overload occurs, the thermal element responds to the increased current flow, causing the breaker to trip. In the event of a short circuit, the magnetic element responds to the sudden surge of current, providing instantaneous tripping. The breaker is designed for easy installation in standard electrical panels and motor control centers. Specific technical specifications, such as voltage rating, current rating, and interrupting capacity, are detailed in the product datasheet.
