IAL/IUL/IEL/IDL/LEL SPECIFICATIONS
Trip Free
Will trip open on overload even when forcibly held in the ON
position. This prevents the operator from damaging the circuit
by holding the breaker on.
Trip Indication
The operating handle moves positively to the OFF or mid-trip
position on electrical overload.
Ambient Operation
IAL/IUL/IEL breakers operate in temperatures between
-40°C to +85°C.
Insulation Resistance
Not less than 100 megohms at 500 volts DC.
Dielectric Strength
IAL/IUL/IEL breakers withstand 3750Vac (1250Vac for LEL), 60Hz
for 60 seconds between all electrically isolated terminals except
auxiliary switch terminals shall withstand 600Vac, 60Hz for REG
and REC types. Four terminal dual coil and relay construction
(not offered in the LEL) will withstand 1500Vac.
Endurance
Operating as a switch, the operating life exceeds 10,000 operations,
6000 at rated load, 4000 without load, at a rate of 6 per minute.
Electrical Characteristics
.050-100 amperes 80Vdc, 240Vac Max., 240/415Vac at 50
amperes Max., 50/60Hz and 400Hz. Consult factory for specific
product ratings.
Units rated for 240/415Vac and above 50 amperes are not
suitable for across-the-line motor starting.
Poles
One through six poles available.
Construction
Series, shunt, relay dual coil and series with auxiliary switch
available in various delays and combinations.
Auxiliary Switch
When supplied shall be S.P.D.T. configuration. Non VDE
approved switches have a maximum UL rating of 10.0 amperes,
250 volts, 60Hz; 3.0 amperes, 50 volts DC (REC type) or 0.1
amperes, 125 volts, 60Hz (REG type).
VDE approved switches have a maximum UL rating of 10.0
amperes, 250 volts, 60Hz (REG type); or 0.1 amperes, 125 volts, 60Hz
(REG; type). The maximum VDE ratings are 1.0 amperes, 125 volts,
60Hz (REG type); 0.1 amperes, 125 volts, 60Hz (REG type).
Moisture Resistance
Meet all the requirements of MIL-PRF-55629 when tested in
accordance with Method 106 of MIL-STD-202.
Salt Spray (Corrosion)
Meet the requirements of MIL-PRF-55629 when tested in
accordance with Method 101 of MIL-STD-202.
Shock
Circuit breakers shall not trip when tested per MIL-STD-202,
Method 213, Test Condition I with 100% rated current applied to
delayed units and 80% rated current to instantaneous units.
Vibration
Circuit breakers shall not trip when vibrated per MIL-STD-202,
Method 204, Test Condition A with 100% rated current applied
to delayed units and 80% rated current to instantaneous units.
UL-1500 (Marine Ignition Protected)
The IDL/IDLH is certified to UL-1500 (series configuration only),
covering ignition protected circuit breakers. This specification
requires devices to be used in accordance with the requirements
of U.S. Coast Guard and Fire Protection Standard for Pleasure
and Commercial Motor Craft, ANSI/MFPA #302.
