What is MCCB?

In low-voltage power distribution systems, circuit breakers are crucial for ensuring safe and stable operation. Among various types of circuit breakers, MCCB (Molded Case Circuit Breaker) stands out for its high current-carrying capacity and reliable protection performance, becoming an core component in industrial and commercial power distribution scenarios. Zhejiang C&J Electrical co., ltd. (referred to as C&J Electrical) has launched the CJMM3 series MCCB, which provides comprehensive and reliable protection for low-voltage power distribution lines and equipment.

Core Definition & Characteristics of MCCB

Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) can protect circuits from 16 amps to 3200 amps and are typically used as main circuit breakers in switchboards or to directly power large equipment. They are ideal for buildings or factories with high requirements for low-voltage power supply. As a type of low-voltage circuit breaker, MCCB is named for its enclosed shell made of molded insulating material, which can effectively protect internal components from external environmental impacts and prevent electric arcs from escaping during operation.
Compared with small circuit breakers (such as MCB), MCCB has obvious advantages in handling large currents and short-circuit capacities. It can adapt to complex power distribution environments and provide stable protection for high-power equipment and main distribution lines. Its core characteristics include large rated current range, adjustable protection parameters, diverse installation methods, and strong environmental adaptability.

Core Functions of MCCB

As a professional low-voltage protective component, MCCB integrates multiple protection functions to form a comprehensive safety defense line for power distribution systems:
  • Overload protection: Real-time monitoring of circuit current; when the current exceeds the rated value for a long time, the thermal release acts to cut off the circuit, preventing overheating damage to wires and equipment
  • Short circuit protection: When a short circuit fault occurs, the magnetic release quickly acts within milliseconds to cut off the circuit, suppressing the rapid rise of short-circuit current and avoiding serious accidents such as equipment burnout
  • Current carrying & connection: Stably carry and connect current under normal circuit conditions, ensuring the smooth operation of the power distribution system
  • Abnormal current breaking: Reliably break current under specified abnormal circuit conditions, isolating faulty parts to prevent fault expansion
  • Auxiliary protection: Provide auxiliary protection functions for lines and equipment in specific scenarios, improving the safety and stability of the power distribution system
