"Miniature Circuit Breaker" is the complete form of MCB. It's a type of electronic switch that operates on its own. By identifying the high quantity of current flow in the circles, it can discover a problem occurring inside a circuit. It can break the loop at any time if there is a big quantity of power available in the loop.
Explanation:
- MCBs are designed to protect against overcurrent and overheating faults.
- When the current exceeds the set limit, the MCB automatically shuts down and the loop is broken.
- To restart the circuit, the MCB must be manually switched on.
- The MCB will trip in seconds to minutes if the circuit overheats.
- In motor feeders, MCBs of up to are employed.
- When compared to fuses, MCB handling is more easier for both electrical devices and humans.
- In an MCB, the faulty wire returns to its original location, making fault detection considerably easier.
- It provides a better interface when using a knob.
- Because MCBs may be reused, they are less expensive than fuses.
- The current sensitivity of the MCB is substantially higher.
- To restart it, users must push the button.
- Fuse boxes are frequently utilized in place of MCBs.
- The MCBs, on the other hand, are a better choice because they must be reset by users before they may work again. It's made to guard against overheating-related problems.
