Circuit breakers are automatic electrical switches designed to protect circuits from damage caused by overcurrent, short circuits, and electrical faults. CNKEEYA's circuit breakers interrupt current flow when unsafe conditions are detected, preventing fires and equipment damage.
✔ Overcurrent Protection – Safeguards wiring and devices from excessive current
✔ Short-Circuit Protection – Instantly trips to prevent dangerous fault currents
✔ Resettable Operation – Unlike fuses, breakers can be reused after tripping
✔ Multiple Types Available – For residential, commercial, and industrial needs
Type | Trip Mechanism | Voltage Range | Typical Applications |
---|---|---|---|
Miniature (MCB) | Thermal-Magnetic | 120-240V | Homes, offices, small appliances |
Molded Case (MCCB) | Thermal-Magnetic + Electronic | 240-600V | Commercial buildings, machinery |
Air Circuit (ACB) | Electronic Trip Unit | 480-6,600V | Industrial plants, data centers |
Ground Fault (GFCI) | Current Imbalance Detection | 120-240V | Wet locations, bathrooms, kitchens |
Parameter | Standard Ratings |
---|---|
Voltage Rating | 120V to 6,600V |
Current Rating | 1A to 6,000A |
Breaking Capacity | 10kA to 200kA |
Trip Curve Types | B, C, D, K, Z |
Consider:
Voltage & Current Rating – Must match your electrical system
Trip Curve – "B" for residential, "D" for motors, "K" for transformers
Breaking Capacity – Should exceed potential fault current
Possible reasons:
Overloaded circuit (too many devices running)
Short circuit (wires touching)
Ground fault (current leakage)
Faulty breaker (needs replacement)
Only if you're a qualified electrician. Incorrect installation can cause fires. Always:
Turn off main power
Verify correct amperage & type
Follow NEC/local electrical codes
✔ UL/CE Certified – Meets international safety standards
✔ High Breaking Capacity – Reliable protection against faults
✔ Durable Construction – Long service life with minimal maintenance
✔ Wide Selection – From residential MCBs to industrial ACBs
