>> Introduction
The DAM1 series circuit breakers are intended for conducting current in normal mode and switching it off at short circuits, overload, inadmissible bucking as well as operational actuation and tripping of electric circuit parts. They are designed for use in electric units having the operative voltage limited to 400V per rated current from 12,5 to 1600A.
They correspond to the requirements of EN 60947-1, EN 60947-2
Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers:
Thermal protection function:(For protection under over load conditions)
Bimetal, which provides thermal protection, consists of combination of two metals with different extension coefficients under heat. When bimetal is heated, it bends towards the metal with less extension. In this way, a notch that assists opening of the breaker mechanism is released to disable the breaker. Bending speed of bimetal is in direct proportion with size of the current passing through the breaker. Because, increase of current means increase of heat. In this way, over current protection function of the breaker is fulfilled by bimetal at load currents higher than the rated current
Magnetic protection function (For protection under short circuit conditions)
Another function of the breaker is to protect the connected circuit against short circuits. Short circuit may occur as a result of contact of phases with each other or contact of phase-ground. Since a very high current shall pass through the cables in case of short circuit, system energy should be broken in a shorter time due to thermal protection. Breaker should perform instant opening to protect load it is connected to. The part fulfilling this function is a mechanical opening mechanism that operates with magnetization caused by the magnetic
area formed by the short circuit current

ON/I Position:It indicates that contacts of the breaker are closed. In this position, the breaker lever is in the top position
TRIP Position:It indicates that the breaker is opened due to any failure (over load or short circuit). In this case, breaker lever is in the middle position between ON and OFF positions. In order to take the breaker, which is in trip position, to ON position; push the breaker lever downwards as shown by the OFF sign
Breaker shall be set with “click” sound.After that, pull the lever as shown by ON sign to close the breaker
OFF/0 Position:It indicates that contacts of the breaker are open. In this way, the breaker lever is in the bottom position.
