The Schneider Electric Power Distribution Boards provide a convenient solution for managing power to computer equipment, home networking components, and other sensitive electronics. The board accommodates 8 brand-name terminal blocks in an integrated block location system for fast, easy installation. They also feature a master control for monitoring and turning off power to all blocks simultaneously, which allows them to work as electrical distribution boxes as well. The Schneider Electric Modular MCB Switch is designed to increase flexibility and manageability of medium-voltage installation while providing uninterrupted power. The MCB switch is equipped with a load break function that ensures safe switching, even during overload current. Our MCB switch is the most preferred choice for overload and short circuit protection. Schneider Electric also provides Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCB) which are designed to protect you from electrocution. The RCCB senses abnormal current flowing in the wires and immediately stops it. It will reset automatically once the power is turned off. So, protect your family by installing Schneider Electric’s inexpensive electric circuit breaker safety devices, MCB switches and RCCB switches.
To buy electrical protection and control devices, start by identifying your specific needs, such as MCB switches, relays, RCCB switches, or switchboard protection modules. Browse Schneider Electric’s product catalogs on eShop for devices that match your requirements. Review specifications, compatibility, and features to ensure they meet your electrical system's needs. For assistance or professional recommendations, contact customer support or consult with an electrical engineer to ensure you choose the right devices for your application.
Electrical protection and control equipment includes devices designed to safeguard and manage electrical systems. Key types are:
Circuit Breakers: Protect circuits from overloads and short circuits.
Relays: Control electrical circuits by switching them on or off based on specific conditions.
Fuse: Protect circuits by breaking the connection when current exceeds a safe level.
Protective Relays: Detects faults and triggers circuit breakers to isolate faulty sections.
The three main types of circuit protection are:
Fuses: Provide protection by melting and breaking the circuit when current exceeds a specified level, preventing damage from overloads or short circuits.
Circuit Breakers: Automatically disconnect the circuit when an overload or short circuit is detected, and can be reset after tripping.
Residual Current Devices (RCDs): Detect earth faults and leakage currents, disconnecting the circuit to prevent electric shocks and fire hazards.
The full form of RCCB is Residual Current Circuit Breaker. RCCBs are designed to detect and disconnect electrical circuits in the event of earth faults or leakage currents, providing protection against electric shocks and preventing potential fire hazards. They are crucial for enhancing electrical safety in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
