Residual Current Device (RCD): Ensuring Electrical Safety in Your Home

A Residual Current Device (RCD), also known as a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) in some regions, is an electrical safety device designed to quickly detect and interrupt electrical faults. Its primary function is to prevent electric shocks and reduce the risk of fires caused by faulty electrical equipment or wiring. The RCD constantly monitors … Read more

Why is a surge protector preceded by a fuse and a circuit breaker?

Surge Protection Devices (SPDs) are used to limit transient overvoltages and divert surge currents. They are primarily used in low-voltage power distribution and information systems for protection against lightning overvoltages, operational overvoltages, lightning electromagnetic pulses, and electromagnetic interference pulses. If protection against these overvoltages is required on the high-voltage side, lightning arresters are used. When the … Read more

A Comprehensive Guide on Choosing the Ideal Battery Breaker

Table of Contents What is a circuit breaker? A circuit breaker is a mechanical switch device that can connect, carry, and interrupt the current under normal circuit conditions. It can also connect, carry for a certain period, and interrupt the current under specified abnormal circuit conditions. It functions as a protector against short-circuits and overloads. Typically, … Read more

How to Choose Between Type A, B, C, and D Miniature Circuit Breakers?

(1) Type A circuit breaker With a nominal current twice the rated current, it is seldom used, generally for semiconductor protection (fuses are typically employed in most cases). This so-called “multiples of current” refers to the impact current that the switch can withstand for a certain duration without tripping; its characteristic is to avoid the impact … Read more

Selection and Adjustment of Circuit Breaker Trips

The selection of circuit breakers should be based on specific usage conditions and select the category of use, rated working voltage, rated current, and the set current of the trip unit, etc. Refer to the protection characteristics curves provided by the product samples for selecting the protection characteristics, and it is necessary to verify the … Read more

Areas of application and technical features of non-polarized Miniature DC circuit breakers

The DC system of the substation provides power for relay protection, automatic safety devices, control signal circuits, emergency lighting, etc. This is the basic guarantee for the correct operation of relay protection, automatic devices, and circuit breakers. Currently, circuit breakers and fuses are the main protection devices widely used in the substation DC system. When … Read more

Why use non-polarized DC miniature circuit breakers in PV storage system?

Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) are the most common switches in control circuits, primarily serving two functions: to switch circuits on and off and to protect circuits by tripping in the event of overcurrent or short circuits. DC Miniature Circuit Breakers (DC MCB) are a special category within miniature circuit breakers. They employ specialized arc extinguishing and … Read more
