Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs)
Electricity is a good servant but a bad
master. Modern day usage of electricity is
evident in all the spheres of life. Equipment,
gadgets and machinery run by electricity
are expensive and need a protective E-FAB ..... Conforming to IS/IET 60898-2002
E-FAB MCBs are designed to provide
protection to all type of electrical
installations for domestic, commercial and
industrial applications.
When the current fl owing through a thermal
element is greater than the rated current,
the bimetal defl ects to trip the MCB, thus
providing protection against overload
currents. When suddenly the line current
erupts to many times the rated current, the
magnetic element trips the E-FAB “MCB”
instantaneously, thus providing protection
against short circuit current upto 10000
Amperes (10 KA).
In India, in industrial as well as domestic applications, voltage
almost never reaches the desired 240V/415V level because of perennial power shortage against demand of power guzzling industry/ domestic appliances and mostly remains around or below 210 V/ 390-400V. Therefore, E-FAB “MCB” has been specially designed to operate at dual voltages of 230 V/400 V. Internationally, also, according to IEC 898, the network voltage of 230/400 volts has been standardized. This value, 230/400 Volts is to progressively supersede the values of 220/380 Volts and 240/415 Volts. In any case, relevant short circuit tests are carried our at 230+5% / 400+5% i.e. 241/420 V power frequency recovery voltage
E-FAB "MCB"
MCB Breaking Capacity
10000 A, 230/400 V, 50 Hz
Available in SP, SPN, DP, TP, TPN, FP – 6 to 63
A,
Isolators DP, TP, FP – 40, 63 & 100 A
The housing and cover of E-FAB MCB’s are
injection moulded from special grade glass
filled fire retardant polyester conforming to
international standards. The contacts are
designed to ensure very high conductivity/
low contact resistance, thereby resulting
in low voltage drop and hence very low
power consumption and temperature rise.
The power loss per pole, calculated on
the terminals is at least 30% less than the
permissible power loss vide IS Ec 60898-200.
Such low watt loss per pole helps to save a
lot of power in bigger panels and electrical
installations.
E-FAB MCBs are compact in size and
uniform in dimensions covering the entire
“B” Series and “C” Series from 6A to 63A. The
MCBs are factory calibrated and tested for
4,000 mechanical and electrical operations
to ensure long term consistent operations
and reliability at the user’s location.
E-FAB MCBs are easily installable on DIN rails
of Distribution Boards by simply snapping
on. They are equally easily removable with
the help of a screw driver. A 25 sq.mm. box
type terminal is provided both at incoming
and outgoing terminals to accommodate
incoming/ outgoing wires ranging from 1
sq.mm. to 16 sq.mm.
