The miniature circuit breaker is the most widely used terminal protection device in the construction of electrical terminals for power distribution. It is used for single-phase and three-phase short circuit, overload and overvoltage protection under 125 A, including single-pole 1P, two-pole 2P, three-pole 3P and four-pole 4P.
The typical size of the miniature circuit breaker is 18 mm width as module (1 bit, 1 P) and 9 mm as module. Friends should pay attention to their statement when buying to prevent the sizing of the distribution box top. Mistakes. In fact, 9 and 18 can be converted if we use it. Micro-Break has two frame currents 63A and 125A. The 1st position of the microfracture below 63 A is 18 mm, and the 1st position of the 125-frame current is 27 mm.
When a miniature circuit breaker in the distribution box needs to be replaced, it is accidentally jammed in the middle. We can only remove the wire and pull the clip on the bottom of the miniature circuit breaker to separate it from the guide rail. The clip is uncomfortable to pull by hand. Without a slotted screwdriver, it is not easy to lever.
Compact circuit breakers have a current carrying capacity of up to 2000 A. The maximum rated current of miniature circuit breakers is within 125 A.
Due to the capacity difference between the two, in the specific work, the effective area of the Compact circuit breaker is also larger than that of the miniature circuit breaker, and the wires connected to it are also relatively thick, which can reach more than 35 square meters, while the miniature circuit breaker is only suitable for connecting 10-wire below the square. Therefore, in general, for indoor conditions, it is better to choose compact circuit breakers for larger rooms.
When selecting a miniature circuit breaker, the following conditions should be considered:
1) The rated voltage of the miniature circuit breaker should not be less than the rated voltage of the line;
2) The rated current of the miniature circuit breaker and the rated current of the overcurrent trigger are not less than the calculated current of the line;
3) The rated short-circuit switching capacity of the miniature circuit breaker is not less than the maximum short-circuit current in the line;
4) The selection of miniature circuit breakers for power distribution shall take into account the short-term delayed short-circuit on-off capability and the coordination between the delay protection levels;
5) The rated voltage of the miniature circuit breaker's undervoltage trigger is equal to the rated voltage of the line.

low voltage circuit breakers are also called automatic air switches or automatic air circuit breakers or short circuit breakers. It is an electrical device that has both manual switching functions and automatic power failure, undervoltage, overload and short circuit protection.
What role do low voltage circuit breakers play?
How does a low voltage circuit breaker work?
What are the components and working methods of low voltage circuit breakers?
1.low voltage circuit breakers are mainly used in low voltage circuits to protect electrical equipment from short circuits, or if the voltage is abnormal or the current is too high, the circuit breaker can avoid some dangerous accidents.
2.The low voltage circuit breaker is very suitable for machine tools as it can take on a variety of protective functions. When the machine tool equipment is working, the low voltage circuit breaker is installed, so it does not need to be started frequently to avoid damage to the associated equipment.
3.There is an alarm contact in the low voltage circuit breaker. When the circuit is overloaded or a short circuit occurs, the alarm contact emits a sound, or a indicator light lights up to remind people in time to avoid major accidents.
The low voltage circuit breaker has great advantages over the knife switch when entering the house. First, it can interrupt a large current and has an arc extinguishing device, which is suitable for increasing the load of the house circuit. In addition, its thermal stability and service life are better than that of the knife switch. The second is that it can automatically interrupt the circuit if an error occurs. There are two triggers in the circuit breaker, one is a thermal bimetal trigger, which is used for overload delay protection; the other is an electromagnetic trigger used for immediate short circuit protection.
After using the circuit breaker, the fuse is no longer installed in the house circuit. When an error occurs, the trigger automatically triggers (commonly known as triggering) to interrupt the circuit. When the error is fixed, it can be reused simply by resealing without replacing parts.
The low voltage circuit breaker consists of three basic components: contact and arc extinguishing system, trigger, transmission and actuation mechanism. The contacts shown in the drawings are closed, and the latch locks this closed state with a hook to stabilize it. In case of overload, the overload trigger responds and the small multiple overload current bends the bimetal slightly after a certain time. The contacts are separated for overload time delay protection. When a short circuit occurs, the short circuit trigger acts, and the multiple short circuit current quickly attracts the anchor by the magnetic force generated by the electromagnet to move it downwards. stable, the contacts are quickly disconnected to achieve immediate short-circuit protection.

The miniature circuit breaker is installed on the interrupted distribution line to effectively protect the line and electrical equipment and avoid overload operation, resulting in certain safety risks to the line and electrical equipment. From this point of view, miniature circuit breakers have a high application value, and it makes sense to actively research and develop miniature circuit breakers. For more information about information about miniature circuit breaker, please read the following words.
Most miniature circuit breakers are frame structures, and some are assembled with discrete components. Working principle The AC operating power is rectified to obtain DC power to supply the exciter winding of the main contact coil of the miniature power switch for excitation operation; at the same time, the rotor of the miniature motor rotates through the transmission mechanism to drive the anchor, move up and down along the slip ring to close the contacts;
If the load is short-circuited or heavily overloaded, the miniature motor immediately stops rotating; When the load is restored, the miniature motor continues to work.
The miniature circuit breaker uses the thermal expansion of the bimetal sheet to bend the release lever so that the miniature circuit breaker triggers and plays the role of overload protection. There will be a certain time difference in overload protection. When a short circuit occurs, the current flows through the induction coil to create a strong magnetic field that pushes the lever to quickly trigger the miniature circuit breaker.
According to the various protection functions, the trigger can be divided into overcurrent trigger and power failure trigger.
If the line is generally overloaded, although the overload current cannot make the electromagnetic trigger work, the heating element can generate a certain amount of heat, causing the bimetal sheet to bend upwards during heating. Press the lever to release the hook and latch and release the main contact. The head is disconnected and the power supply is cut off.
The current maximum current of the miniature circuit breaker is 125A. Depending on the protection class, it is divided into B, C and D types, and according to the number of poles, it is divided into 1, 2, 3 and 4-poles, which are all models with leakage protection.
compact circuit breakers currently have a maximum current of 1600 A and a maximum rated voltage of 690 V. Depending on the ignition protection type, it is divided into distribution protection and motor protection; according to the number of poles, it is generally divided into 2, 3 and 4 poles; Models with leakage protection The current is below 630A.
JIELI Electrical has been focusing on the development and production of miniature circuit breakers for several years. And it is committed to providing perfect service to every customer from all over the world.
There are many classification methods for low voltage circuit breakers. Depending on the type of use, there is a selective type (protective device parameters are adjustable) and a non-selective type (protective device parameters are not adjustable). Depending on the arc extinguishing medium, there are air type and vacuum type.
