Circuit breaker specific features....


What is auto transformer starter?











This 
starter produces high efficiencyand have the option to be adjusted to obtain the necessary torque and in accordance with the system.It very efficiency stater but the disadvantage is it very high cost to setup control panel stater.
It can improved torque ratio is achieved and starting current is typically 3 timesFull Load Current , depending on the voltage taps selected.Typically it have taps at 50%,65% and 80% voltage.
During start-up, the motor is connected to the auto transformer’s tapping. This means that themotor starts up with a reduced voltage and a correspondingly low curren



Operating principles
 
The 
technique for connecting an Auto Transformer stater is via magnetic  contactor and connect the motor to taps by mean of the contactor.When motor accelerate to full speed,the tap of contactor was open and disconnecting motor from transformer and other contactor close to connecting  the motor to the supply.
When the motor has almost reached its rated torque, the star connection on the transformer is opened.
The transformer’s partial windings act as chokes in series to the motor windings, and therefore, like the uninterrupted star delta connection, the motor speed does not drop during switch over.
After the main contactor has been switched in, the motor windings are applied to the full mains voltage.
Finally, the transformer is disconnected from the mains circuit



Accessories for MCCB

As we know,Molded Case Circuit Breaker main function is protection device from overload current and short circuit.It also have a several attachment device for additional protection that we can combine with MCCB. Common accessories used for MCCB such as phase insulation barrier,Shunt trip,Under voltage trip device,rotary handle and change over system.It can provide more protection .

Types of Molded Case Circuit Breaker   

MCCB

Before we make a decision to install Molded case circuit breaker for our application,firstly we need to know about types of MCCB.It important information that we must know to make sure our MCCB can functioning properly to protect our application from electrical failure. As we know the main function of MCCB are to protect our system .

MCCB protection for induction motor

Circuit breaker is a one of important protection device when installing of electrical induction motor.This time i want shared some information about the major parameter that we need consider when applying Molded case circuit breaker(MCCB) for electric motor. If we not selected the right MCCB for our electric motor application,it will effected to the system.

Vacuum circuit breaker

What is Vacuum circuit breaker? As we know vacuum mean the the pressure is maintained below atmospheric pressure( unit : mmHg ).So the manufacture made a research and development to design the vacuum circuit breaker based on current cannot jump in vacuum condition. This breaker used the vacuum pressured to extinguish the current .

Circuit breaker specific features for main switchboard

Circuit breaker specification for MSB. For circuit breakers specification MUST suitable with installation condition and needed.Main switchboard is the main power supply distribution for factory or building.This unit is a key for entire electrical power supply distribution. It feed the high volume of voltage for all equipment and machine.

Maintenance for low voltage circuit breakers

Low circuit breaker normally operating at 600 volt AC and below.The common used types of  circuit breaker around the world such as molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) and Air circuit breaker ( ACB ). This low voltage circuit breaker usually used for power distribution and sub power distribution at factory and general industry.

Routine maintenace tests for circuit breaker

Routine maintenance tests Circuit breaker is the important protection device for our application and electrical power supply system.It can save our equipment or machinery from damage from over current or overload matter.It also can save personal life who involve directly or indirectly with electrical application from electric shock. How we can know the actual condition .


Molded case circuit breaker maintenance

Important of circuit breaker maintenance The circuit breaker maintenance is very important and it must added in  periodical maintenance schedule.Why it so important?It is because of their importance for routine switching and for equipment protection and person. Production will stop if circuit breaker fails to operate because of a lack of preventive maintenance.

Miniature Circuit Breaker Sizing

When we design or build a electrical installation,we must know how to choose the suitable circuit breaker for the any application that we design.For electrician,this is compulsory knowledge.So here i want share my little knowledge about circuit breaker sizing method. This calculation for sizing the miniature circuit breaker.For other circuit breaker likes MCCB,ACB,VCB,OCB and etc,

Residual Current Circuit Breaker

What is Residual current circuit breaker ( RCCB )? This device is very important in electrical wiring.It is a life guard device to protect from electric shock.Others circuit breaker only can detect the fault from over current and short circuit but cannot detect the current leakage. That why RCCB is very important.

Molded Case Circuit Breaker

What is MCCB ( Molded Case Circuit Breaker ) ? It is a mechanical device ( BS 4752 ) to be used to connect and disconnect the circuit in normal and abnormal.Current rate for regular MCCB up to 3000 ampere.It is only available in a 3 pole only .

Miniature Circuit Breaker

MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker ( BS 3871 ) is a mechanical device operate automatic operation designed to connect and disconnect the electrical circuit in the ordinary and extraordinary situation.Suitable for AC and DC voltage.It mean main function is to protected equipment or circuit from overload and short circuit. The size of MCB is small .

Fuses

What is a FUSE? Fuse is a basic device used to break the circuit when there is a overcurrent.it consists of metal wire fuse element which is connected by two terminal.fuse element will be blow if the current through it exceeds the limit was set. Its use is widespread due to the efficiency and durability.

Protective Device Introduction

Electrical distribution systems are often quite complicated. They  cannot be absolutely fail-safe. Circuits are subject to destructive overcurrents. Harsh environments, general deterioration, accidental damage or damage from natural causes, excessive expansion or overloading of the electrical distribution system are factors which contribute to the occurrence of such overcurrent.
