Molded Case Circuit Breaker For Protection And Measurement

Posted by Prashant Shinde on April 24th, 2018

The circuit breakers offer high performance and safety. They have the breaking capacity ranging from 16 to 100 KA. It also has integrated measurement which enables you to monitor the parameters and consumption. You need not install any additional device or the accessory for it.

The different selectivity techniques ensure optimum use of the circuit breaker. There are four sizes of molded case circuit breaker. The circuit breakers are fully compatible with the different accessories. There is a wide range of these circuit breakers available to meet all the requirements.

The circuit breakers use the thermal-magnetic and electronic releases according to the level of protection required.

Integrated measurement

The circuit breaker with integrated measurement allows you to easily monitor the parameters of the various circuits in an installation. The measured values are displayed directly on the LCD screen in front of the circuit breaker. The measurement data can also be viewed remotely on a PC. You need to use supervision software and a communication interface for this.

For the integrated measurement, a high-performance measurement unit with LCD display is used. They along with circuit breaker form a single device. The following are the benefits of integrated measurement:

• It protects the installations against electrical faults.
• It shows the measurement and displays the installation parameters.
• It saves time as it is simple to install and the wiring is easy.
• It saves space in an enclosure.

Different types of molded case circuit breaker

There is fixed, drawn-out and plug-in type of circuit breakers available. They can be used according to the level of maintenance required.

The drawn-out the plug-in version enables a faulty device to be replaced without switching ‘OFF’ the power supply to other circuits. It can be replaced in just a few minutes. They offer optimum continuity of service. The bases of the two versions have the same connection options as the fixed circuit breaker.

All the versions use retrofitting to ensure the panels are easy to maintain and upgrade. All the three versions can be easily equipped with a range of electrical auxiliaries. They can be easily adapted to fit any installation and any panel configuration.

The circuit breakers have been developed to fit seamlessly into the existing energy distribution set-up. The circuit breakers comply with the strict quality certificate standards.
