What is a MCB – Miniature Circuit Breaker
- MCB Stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker. It automatically switches OFF electrical circuit during any abnormal condition in the electrical network such as overload & short circuit conditions.
- The MCB is an electromechanical device which guards the electric wires &electrical load from overcurrent so as to avoid any kind of fire or electrical hazards.
- Handling MCB is quite safer and it quickly restores the supply.
- Miniature circuit breakers are designed to minimize downtime and avoid nuisance trips.
- The Swan-Electric miniature Circuit Breakers offer the fastest, and most flexible installation experience and completely eliminates safety concerns during maintenance and operation.
- Swan-Electric MCB’s are engineered to adapt to the most challenging networks and environments while remaining cost effective over time.
What is Inside Miniature Circuit Breaker?
Main contacts:
These are the contacts that carry the load current and are connected to the incoming and outgoing wires of the circuit.
Trip Unit:
- This is the core component of an MCB, which monitors the current flowing through the circuit and trips the breaker in case of an over-current or short-circuit.
- The trip unit consists of a bimetallic strip, a magnetic actuator, and an operating mechanism.
Terminal:
- These are the connections for the incoming and outgoing wires.
Housing:
- The housing is the protective casing that houses the MCB components and provides insulation between live parts and other electrical components.
Trip Indicator:
- An MCB typically has a visual indicator that shows whether the breaker is in the “on” or “off” position.
Auxiliary contacts:
- Some MCBs have additional contacts that can be used to switch auxiliary loads or provide signaling functions.
Trip spring:
- This is the spring mechanism that holds the MCB contacts in the “on” position. When the trip unit operates, the trip spring releases, allowing the contacts to separate and break the circuit.
