A circuit breaker is a device used in low-voltage distribution systems to protect circuits. Its function is to automatically and quickly cut off the current when faults such as overload and short circuit occur in the circuit, to prevent wire overheating, equipment damage and even electrical fires, thereby ensuring personal and property safety.
According to their breaking capacity, application scenarios and structural features, they are mainly classified into three categories: miniature circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers and universal circuit breakers.
Miniature circuit breakers are the most fundamental components applied in terminal distribution circuits. The rated current is usually below 63A, and it adopts a standard modular design, supporting quick installation on rails.
The casing is made of engineering plastic, with a wide rated current coverage range and higher breaking capacity. This product seals the operating mechanism, contact system, etc. within a plastic casing, providing higher safety and supporting additional modules (such as auxiliary contacts, undervoltage trip units).
Also known as frame-type circuit breaker (ACB), its rated current can reach over 6300A, featuring extremely high breaking capacity and protection functions. Adopt a modular frame structure.
