miniature circuit breaker

In modern systems that use less than about 10 kW, miniature circuit breakers are typically used.

Some miniature circuit breakers operate solely on the basis of electromagnetism.

For added safety, we will fit miniature circuit breakers to provide reliable and easily operated protection when using any electrical equipment.

Bimetal strips are used in miniature circuit breakers to protect circuits from excess current.

Modern consumer units contain miniature circuit breakers which switch off automatically in the event of a fault.

This incorporates an RCD and a miniature circuit breaker in one device.

For convenience, miniature circuit breakers are now almost always used in the fuse box instead of fuses as these can easily be reset by occupants.

Where space permits, a miniature circuit breaker is sometimes used to replace a blade-type fuse in the same fuse holder.

These boxes can also be fitted with cartridge fuses or miniature circuit breakers (MCBs).

A modern miniature circuit breaker similar to the ones now in use was patented by Brown, Boveri & Cie in 1924.

Buildings and appliances would soon be provided with input fuses, and later in the 20th century miniature circuit breakers (MCB) would come into use.

The distribution board (aka fusebox) contains one or more main switches and an individual fuse or miniature circuit breaker (MCB) for each final circuit.

The 10 ampere DIN rail-mounted thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker is the most common style in modern domestic consumer units and commercial electrical distribution boards throughout Europe.

It ranks second in India for sales of switches and sockets, and ranks first for miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) and distribution boards (DBs).

Miniature circuit breakers and fuses may be rated to interrupt as little as 75 amperes and are intended for supplementary protection of equipment, not the primary protection of a building wiring system.

If it's just you, then check the consumer unit to see if any miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) or the Residual Current Device (RCD) have flipped to the "off" position.

The company's product portfolio includes wiring devices (switches & sockets), multi sockets, accessories, miniature circuit breaker boxes, smart meters & automatic meter reading solutions, low voltage switchgears and building automation systems.

Modern consumer units contain small electro-mechanical switches called miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) instead of fuses; these simply switch themselves off automatically in the event of a fault, and can be switched on again once it has been corrected.

Havells at that time was best known for its electrical switches, energy meters and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), while SLI Sylvania was a renowned yet under-leveraged European lamps and fixtures brand.

Miniature circuit breakers used to protect control circuits or small appliances may not have sufficient interrupting capacity to use at a panelboard; these circuit breakers are called "supplemental circuit protectors" to distinguish them from distribution-type circuit breakers.

In these miniature circuit breakers, the current is run through a solenoid, and, in the event of excess current flow, the magnetic pull of the solenoid is sufficient to force open the circuit breaker's contacts (often indirectly through a tripping mechanism).
