Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between MCBs and MCCBs?

A.

• MCBs protect items from current overloads while MCCBs protect equipment from fault currents & excess temperature rise.
• The tripping circuit of MCBs is fixed while MCCBs have a movable tripping circuit.
• MCBs have comparatively low interrupting ratings than MCCBs.

Q. What causes moulded case circuit breakers to trip?

A. Overloading of a circuit is the main reason that leads to frequent short-circuit tripping.

Q. What to check before operating Eaton ED3150 circuit breaker?

A.

• Remove dust or moisture from the surface of the circuit breaker with a vacuum or cloth. Do not blow debris into the circuit breaker.
