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.
It can be used for higher current rating and fault level even in domestic applications. The wide current ratings and high breaking capacity in MCCB find their use in industrial applications. MCCB can be used for protection of capacitor bank, generator protection and main electric feeder distribution. It offers adequate protection whenever an application requires discrimination, adjustable overload setting or earth fault protection.
