The Basics of Low Voltage Circuit Breakers

A Low Voltage Circuit Breaker is an electrical device that is used to protect an electrical circuit from damage due to overcurrent or short-circuiting. The basic function of a Low Voltage Circuit Breaker is to open and close the circuits in your home or office in the event of an overload or short-circuit.

There are two main types of Low Voltage Circuit Breakers: those that are manually operated and those that are automatically operated. Manually operated circuit breakers require you to flip a switch in order to activate or deactivate the breaker. Automatically operated circuit breakers, on the other hand, will trip and turn off the power on their own if they sense an overload or short-circuit in the system.

Low Voltage Circuit Breakers are typically installed in your main electrical panel. They are also sometimes installed in individual branch circuits throughout your home or office. When choosing a Low Voltage Circuit Breaker for your home or office, it is important to select one that has a current rating that is higher than the amperage rating of your electrical system. This will ensure that the breaker will be able to handle any future increases in the amount of electricity that flows through your system.


How Low Voltage Circuit Breakers Work

When it comes to Low Voltage Circuit Breakers, there are a few key parts that work together to provide protection for your electrical system. The first part is the contact arm, which is responsible for making and breaking the electrical connection. The second part is the arc chute, which helps to quench any arcs that may form when the breaker is opened. Finally, there is the coil, which helps to create a magnetic field that trips the breaker in the event of an overcurrent.


Types of Low Voltage Circuit Breakers

There are four main types of Low Voltage Circuit Breakers: air circuit breakers, molded case circuit breakers, mini-break circuit breakers, and high voltage circuit breakers.

Air Circuit Breakers: Air circuit breakers use compressed air to extinguish the arc. They are typically used in outdoor applications such as substations.

Molded Case Circuit Breakers: Molded case circuit breakers have a casing that is made of a molded insulating material. They are typically used in indoor applications.

Mini-Breaker Circuit Breakers: Mini-breaker circuit breakers are smaller than other types of Low Voltage Circuit Breakers. They are typically used in appliances and electronic equipment.

High Voltage Circuit Breakers: High voltage circuit breakers use a gas to extinguish the arc. They are typically used in power plants and other high voltage applications.


Zhejiang's production base is still a local patent demonstration enterprise and high-tech enterprise. Possess an annual production capacity of 20 million PCS for MCB and 1 million PCS for RCCB. The customers served are in nearly 50 countries around the world.
