Schneider Electric Circuit Breakers Overview

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, offers a wide range of circuit breakers designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrents, including overload and short-circuit faults. These devices are crucial for ensuring the safety and reliability of electrical systems.

Product Detailed Description

• Function:

• Protect electrical circuits from overcurrents (overloads and short circuits).

• Automatically interrupt the circuit when a fault current is detected, preventing equipment damage and fire hazards.

• Some circuit breakers also offer additional protection features such as ground fault protection (GFCI/RCD).

• Can be manually tripped to isolate circuits for maintenance or repair.

• Features:

• Wide variety of types and ratings to suit different voltage, current, and application requirements (e.g., Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB), Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCB), Air Circuit Breakers (ACB)).

• Different tripping characteristic curves (e.g., Type B, Type C, Type D) to accommodate various load types and inrush currents.

• Modular design for easy installation and addition of accessories (e.g., auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, shunt trips).

• High reliability and long lifespan.

• Complies with international and local electrical safety standards (e.g., IEC, UL, CSA).

• Available with various mounting options (e.g., DIN rail mounting, screw mounting).
