(MCB) Miniature Circuit Breakers

Image
Miniature Circuit Board (MCB) is a safety device with significant commercial and residential applications. It is an electro-mechanically driven automatic circuit protection device. It’s an automatic safety mechanism that prevents damage to electrical circuits due to excess current flow. It is typically used for low voltage electrical networks like lighting and small electrical appliances. It operates automatically, meaning if a short circuit or overcurrent occurs, the MCB will automatically trip, disrupting the power supply and preventing any damage. These are sensitive to minimal current variations and detect even minute current levels that exceed safety limits. MCB uses to interrupt a circuit during overload & short circuits. It can be used as a substitute for fuses for domestic applications. The benefit of MCB over fuses is that they are reusable even after interruption of the circuit after an overload or short circuit.

Enclosure

Image
An Enclosure, as the name hints, is a cabinet used to house electrical components, such as transformers, circuit breakers, switches, fuses, etc. Its main purpose is to protect the users from electric shocks due to short circuits and overcurrent conditions while protecting the electrical components from the external environment. It also keeps the electrical assembly concealed neatly for aesthetic purposes. Electrical Enclosure Boxes can be commonly found in industrial setups and residential areas. Electrical enclosures play a vital role in encasing transformers and complicated electrical setups in industrial areas where there are power distribution and power control systems on large scales. On the other hand, in residential applications, Electrical enclosures are often used to protect people from any electrical mishap and household appliances from sudden power surges. Why do we need an Enclosure? Enclosures  are an important piece of equipment for the safety of any electrical system...
