    An MCB or miniature circuit breaker is an electromagnetic device that embodies complete enclosure in a molded insulating material. The main function of an MCB is to switch the circuit, i.e., to open the circuit (which has been connected to it) automatically when the current passing through it (MCB) exceeds the value for which it is set. It can be manually switched ON and OFF as similar to normal switch if necessary.

    INTRODUCTION

    (1) MCB

    An MCB or miniature circuit breaker is an electromagnetic device that embodies


    complete enclosure in a molded insulating material. The main function of an MCB
    is to switch the circuit, i.e., to open the circuit (which has been connected to it)
    automatically when the current passing through it (MCB) exceeds the value for
    which it is set. It can be manually switched ON and OFF as similar to normal
    switch if necessary.

    A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an automatically operated electrical switch


    used to protect low voltage electrical circuits from damage caused by excess
    current from an overload or short circuit. MCBs are typically rated up to a current
    up to 125 A, do not have adjustable trip characteristics, and can be thermal or
    thermal-magnetic in operation.

    All fuses need to be replaced with MCB for better safety and control when they
    have done their job in the past. Unlike a fuse, an MCB operates as automatic
    switch that opens in the event of excessive current flowing through the circuit and
    once the circuit returns to normal, it can be reclosed without any manual
    replacement. MCBs are used primarily as an alternative to the fuse switch in most
    of the circuits. A wide variety of MCBs have been in use nowadays with breaking
    capacity of 10KA to 16 KA, in all areas of domestic, commercial and industrial
    applications as a reliable means of protection.

    A typical external appearance of an MCB is shown in figure. MCBs are
    manufactured in different pole versions such as single, double, triple and four
    pole structures with different fault current levels. Mostly, MCBs are linked to give
    two and three-pole versions such that a fault in one line will break the complete
    circuit and hence complete circuit isolation are provided. This feature will be
    helpful in case of single phasing in three phase motor protection.

    These are rated at 220V for DC supply and 240/415 for AC supply (single and
    three-phase) with different short circuit current capacity. Typically, single phase
    devices have load current range of up to 100 A. Some MCBs have facility to adjust
    its tripping current capacity while some devices are fixed for some load current
    and short circuit rating.
