 General Information
 MCB – Miniature Circuit Breaker – It functions by
interrupting the stability of electrical flow through the
circuit once an error is detected. In simple conditions
this circuit breaker is a switch which routinely turns off
when the current flows through it and passes the
maximum acceptable limit. Generally, these are
designed to guard against over current and overheating.
The normal current rating is ranges from 0.5-63 A.
 ELECTRICAL
 General Information
 MCCB – Molded Case Circuit Breaker - The MCCB is used to
control electric energy in distribution network and is having
short circuit and overload protection. This circuit Breaker is
an electromechanical device which guards a circuit from short
circuit and over current. They offer short circuit and over
current protection for circuits ranges from 63 Amps-3000
Amps. The primary functions of MCCB is to give a means to
manually open a circuit, automatically open a circuit under
short circuit or overload conditions. In an electrical circuit,
the over current may result faulty design
 ELECTRICAL

 ELCB : The Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker is used to

protect the circuit from the electrical leakage. When
someone gets an electric shock, then this circuit
breaker cuts off the power in 0.1 sec for protecting the
personal safety and avoiding the gear from the circuit
against short circuit and overload. This circuit breaker
connects the phase, earth wire and neutral. This is
voltage sensing CB. A voltage sensing ELCB doesn’t
detect fault currents from human or animal to the
earth.
 ELECTRICAL

 RCCB - Residual Current Circuit Breaker - Both

wires phase and neutral are connected through
RCCB. This type of circuit breaker is used in
situations where there is a sudden shock or
fault happening in the circuit. This is current
sensing CB.
