Overview

The WEG UVT-UBW400-D96 Undervoltage Release is a critical component in the UBW Series of Molded-Case Circuit Breakers, engineered to provide unparalleled protection for industrial electrical systems. Designed for seamless integration into motor circuits, distribution panels, and power systems, this undervoltage release ensures operational safety by automatically disconnecting power when under-voltage conditions are detected. This prevents equipment damage, reduces the risk of electrical fires, and safeguards personnel in industrial environments where reliability is non-negotiable. Part of WEG’s renowned UBW Series, the UVT-UBW400-D96 is UL 489 listed, meeting stringent safety and performance standards for circuit protection. The series is renowned for its broad product offering, ranging from 15A to 2500A, with Short Circuit Current Rating (SCCR) options up to 100 KAIC, making it suitable for a wide array of industrial applications. The UVT-UBW400-D96 specifically addresses the need for reliable undervoltage protection in systems where voltage fluctuations could compromise equipment integrity or operational safety. Key features of the WEG UVT-UBW400-D96 include its compatibility with the UBW400 frame size, ensuring robust performance in high-demand environments. The undervoltage release operates by tripping the circuit breaker when the voltage drops below a predefined threshold, preventing damage to sensitive equipment such as motors, transformers, and control systems. This feature is particularly valuable in industries like manufacturing, mining, oil and gas, and water treatment, where uninterrupted power is critical but voltage stability cannot always be guaranteed. Installation and maintenance are streamlined with the UVT-UBW400-D96, thanks to WEG’s commitment to user-friendly design. The device can be field or factory-installed, offering flexibility to meet specific project requirements. Additionally, the series supports optional multi-conductor load-side lugs and panel mount configurations, simplifying integration into existing systems. Ambient temperature compensation from -20°C to +70°C ensures reliable operation in diverse environmental conditions, from arctic climates to high-temperature industrial settings. WEG’s reputation for quality and innovation in industrial electrical solutions makes the UVT-UBW400-D96 a trusted choice for professionals seeking dependable circuit protection. With a legacy of engineering excellence and a global presence, WEG provides not just products but comprehensive support, including technical assistance and access to a vast network of distributors like Gross Automation. Whether for new installations or retrofitting existing systems, the UVT-UBW400-D96 delivers the performance, safety, and reliability that industrial operators demand. Invest in the WEG UVT-UBW400-D96 Undervoltage Release to safeguard your operations against the costly consequences of undervoltage events.
