Molded case circuit breakers are great for fault current interruption in medium and low voltage distribution systems. The molded case circuit breaker is made up of a compact design, sturdy construction, and has a long-lasting capability. This robust range of molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) available at a very genuine price protects your electrical equipment with SPD-time delay settings for most applications. The Schneider Electric molded case circuit breakers are available from stock in a variety of current ratings and voltages for North American and international markets such as MCCB 100-amp, 200-amp MCCB, 125-amp MCCB, 400-amp MCCB, 250-amp MCCB. These breakers offer the benefits of high reliability, high current interrupter switches in compact, easy-to-use panels, and Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB) for improved safety in hazardous locations. The Schneider Electric molded case circuit breakers range is suited for a large variety of industrial and commercial applications, including substation distribution, mining, shipbuilding, steel industry, oil & gas, petrochemical, smelting & refining facilities.
Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) come in various types to suit different applications:
1. Thermal Magnetic MCCB: Combines thermal protection for overloads and magnetic protection for short circuits, making it versatile for most applications.
2. Electronic MCCB: Offers precise protection with adjustable settings, ideal for complex electrical systems requiring customized protection.
3. Fixed Type MCCB: Has a non-adjustable trip setting, typically used in standardized applications.
4. Interchangeable Type MCCB: Features interchangeable trip units, allowing customization of protection settings for various circuits.
5. Current Limiting MCCB: Quickly interrupts fault currents, reducing damage and increasing safety in high-risk environments.
FAQs
What is the cost of MCCB circuit breaker?
On Schneider Electric's eShop, the cost of MCCB circuit breakers varies based on model and specifications. Typically, price range depends on factors like current rating and features. For exact pricing and to view available models, it's best to visit the Schneider Electric eShop and search for MCCB circuit breakers to get detailed information.
Is MCCB better than MCB?
MCCBs (Molded Case Circuit Breakers) and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) serve different purposes. MCCBs are better suited for higher current ratings and more severe fault conditions, offering adjustable settings and protection against overloads and short circuits in industrial applications. MCBs are typically used in residential or light commercial settings for lower currents. The choice depends on the application's specific needs.
How do I choose a MCCB?
To choose an MCCB, consider factors such as the current rating, breaking capacity, and the number of poles required for your system. Assess the specific protection needs, such as thermal and magnetic settings or electronic features. Ensure the MCCB complies with relevant standards and fits the operational environment. Consulting with an electrical engineer or supplier can provide tailored recommendations.
