Product Introduction:
Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB) is a required component of electrical systems, providing overload protection and short-circuit protection. In most cases, MCCBs are installed in the main power distribution board of a facility, allowing the system to be easily shut down when necessary. MCCBs are available in various sizes and ratings, depending on the size of the electrical system.
In this guide, we¡¯ll cover the components and features of a typical MCCB, how they work, and which types are available. We¡¯ll also discuss the benefits of using this type of breaker in your electrical system.
What is a Molded Case Circuit Breaker
A molded case circuit breaker, or MCCB, is a safety device used to protect an electrical circuit from overload or short circuits. It works by automatically cutting off the power supply when a fault or overcurrent situation arises, thus preventing any damage to the electrical system. MCCBs can be used in both low-voltage and high-voltage systems.
In addition to providing protection against faults, they also provide isolation of the circuit for maintenance. MCCBs are typically installed in the distribution panel and provide a visible indication to let users know when the power is off.
