Undervoltage Release for ITE KB Breaker Repair and Maintenance


Here we show you a UVR for an ITE KB style breaker. Known as an Undervoltage Release, it monitors a voltage to trip a circuit breaker when the voltage at the wire leads reaches between 70 and 35 percent of the solenoid coil rating. The Voltage Release includes a constant rated solenoid with a plunger and trip lever.

When it’s time to upgrade or replace your UVR Under-voltage device, BCS Switchgear and breaker service helps you sustain your existing IITE KB style breakers by upgrading active components matching current technologies.
