About Schneider

A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an automatically controlled electrical switch used to safeguard and protect low voltage electrical circuits from getting damaged by excess current flowing from an overload or short circuit. During network outages, it immediately shuts off the power circuit (both fault and overload conditions). Because it is more sensitive to changes in current, the MCB is reliable in detecting such situations. In addition, when the switch operating knob is in the off position during tripping, the defective zone of the electrical circuit is clearly detected. Schneider Electric India caters to the industrial segment by delivering a diverse range of best in class industrial Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCBs). Below we have mentioned all the features of the Acti 9 xC60 MCBs designed at Schneider Electric India:

• Nominal current: 0.5A to 63A
• Large choice of breaking capacities and tripping curves: B,C,D..
• Compliance with standards: IS/IEC 60898, IEC/EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 ISI and CE marked
• Suitable for isolation in accordance with industrial standards: IEC 60947
• Optional add-on earth leakage modules: xC60 Vigi
• Suitable for additional Protection and Indication auxiliaries: ON/OFF, Trip, Shunt trip, Undervoltage trip, Overvoltage trip, Communication Auxiliary Suitable for DC application: 60Vdc per pole

MCB’s or Miniature circuit breakers are electromechanical devices to safeguard an electrical circuit from current overload. Employed across various industries and domestic environments, a miniature circuit breaker offers several benefits like enhanced reliability, protection against short circuits, and shorter tripping time in comparison with fuses.

The main purpose of Air circuit breakers is the protection for electric circuits over 800 Amps to 10K Amps.

For the industries operating at high voltage or power supply, it becomes inevitable to protect the machinery especially motor protection from the overflow of current. Sudden high voltage surges cause immense damage to the overall throughput of the plant.

Understanding those issues, Schneider Electric offers a range of high threshold Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) that save the system from overcurrent and short-circuit.
