Description
The GE SAUV1 Undervoltage Release is a circuit breaker accessory designed for compatible GE Spectra RMS circuit breakers. Operating with a 120 V AC or 125 V DC control supply, it provides automatic circuit breaker tripping when the accessory control voltage is lost or drops significantly below its rated level.
The SAUV1 is designed to trip the circuit breaker when the control voltage falls to approximately 35% to 70% of its rated value, helping protect electrical systems against undervoltage conditions. The accessory supports 50/60 Hz AC operation and has a peak current rating of 200 mA.
For applications requiring delayed tripping, the SAUV1 can be used with the compatible SPUVTD time-delay unit, which provides an adjustable delay range of 0.1 to 1.0 seconds. This makes it suitable for electrical distribution systems and industrial installations where controlled undervoltage protection is required.
Key Features
- Undervoltage Protection: Automatically trips a compatible circuit breaker when control voltage is lost or falls significantly below its rated level.
- Dual Supply Compatibility: Designed for 120 V AC or 125 V DC control supply applications.
- 35%–70% Voltage Threshold: Initiates breaker tripping when the control voltage falls within the manufacturer’s specified undervoltage range.
- 50/60 Hz Operation: Supports AC applications at standard 50 Hz and 60 Hz frequencies.
- 200 mA Peak Current: Provides a specified peak current rating of 200 mA.
- GE Spectra RMS Compatibility: Designed for compatible GE Spectra RMS molded-case circuit breakers.
- Time-Delay Option: Can be used with the SPUVTD time-delay unit for delays between 0.1 and 1.0 seconds.
- Industrial Applications: Suitable for electrical distribution systems requiring automatic disconnection during undervoltage conditions.
