MCCB

Electricity, since the time of its inception, has transformed the world, impacting lives of people.However, it’s a source of limitless power that needs to be controlled and used wisely and safely while conserving it at the same time. Ergo, the increasing demand for electrical devices that fulfill this purpose. MCBs and MCCBs are such important tools that are developed to safeguard electrical equipment and prevent mishaps. MCCB which also stands for Moulded Case Circuit Breaker, is an advanced version of MCB. It is essentially an electrical protection device that aids in isolating the electric current in a circuit in case of current overload, short circuits and other electrical faults. The major difference being it usually has an adjustable trip system. Since, MCCBs has a wide range of frequencies and voltages and can be used for low as well as high breaking capacity requirements, making it preferable for multiple industrial applications. Read more

Contactor

Image
A  contactor  is a device for creating and breaking an electrical power circuit. For example, we normally use a contactor for turning on & off an electrical motor. Unlike  relays , contactor are prepared with qualities to control and suppress the arc made when interrupting heavy motor currents. Contactors come in many states with various capacities and characteristics. Unlike a  circuit breaker , a contactor is not planned to interrupt a short circuit current. The contactor is mainly used in higher current carrying capacity applications, while the relays are used for lower current applications. Applications Lighting Control Contactors  use to deliver central control of large lighting installations, such as office buildings or retail buildings. Latching contactor uses to decrease power consumption in the contactor coils and have two operating coils. One coil, momentarily energized, seals the power circuit contacts, which are then mechanically held closed; the second coil opens the c
