A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an automatically operated electrical switch designed to protect low-voltage electrical circuits from damage caused by excess current, overload, or short circuits.
1P (Single Pole) protects a single phase line, standard for single-phase circuits. 3P (Three Pole) protects three live wires simultaneously for three-phase systems. 4P (Four Pole) protects three phase lines and one neutral line, providing complete circuit isolation.
An MCB uses a bimetallic strip for thermal overload protection (tripping when heated by prolonged excess current) and an electromagnetic coil for instantaneous magnetic protection against short circuits.
Yes, once the electrical fault or overload condition is identified and cleared, the operational lever on the MCB can simply be switched back to the "ON" position.
Select an MCB rating that exceeds the normal operating load current of the circuit but remains lower than the maximum current capacity of the connected wiring to ensure full protection.
