is a spring actuated mechanism having a set of
double-breaking power contacts. It also have a set
of auxiliary contacts, generally 2 NO & 2NC,
which are used for control wiring.

ELCB

is used for the protection against electrical

leakage in the circuit. When somebody gets
an electric shock or the residual current of the
circuit exceeds the fixed value, ELCB cuts off
the power within the time of 0.1s
automatically protecting the personal safety
and preventing the equipment from the fault.
ELCB also protect the circuit against over load
and short-circuit.

Mini Circuit Breaker

It is used for protecting the circuit against
overload and short circuit. It can be used in
lighting and electric motor distribution system.

Mini Circuit Breaker

It is used to control electric energy in distribution

network and is having overload and short circuit
protection

Residual Current Circuit

Breakers
to open
a circuit automatically in the case of
an earth leakage fault between phase and
earth and/or neutral greater than a set
current generally 300mA. It is used in
domestic, commercial and industrial
installations.

Motor control centre

An MCC is a large enclosure designed to house
standard motor control equipment. The unique
characteristic of an MCC is that the motor
controls are contained in plug-in units.
Ability to Plug In
control components can plug in and unplug
instead of having to wire each device.
For example: a combination starter can be
plugged into a motor control center just like
you would plug in a household device such as a
lamp. However, in an MCC, the user can feed
much larger loads. Note that industrial motors
operate on three phase power, unlike a typical
household device; this is why MCC units have

Advantages of MCCs
Lower Wiring and Mounting Cost
Only one set of incoming power wires needs to be
routed to the MCC. The MCC distributes power to all
devices through its power bus network. MCC units are
pre-wired. Rather than mounting each of many small
enclosures to the wall, a whole MCC can be quickly
mounted to the floor.
Expandability
Neater Appearance
Reduced Downtime
problem is traced to an MCC unit easily, it can be
unplugged and a spare unit can be quickly plugged in.
A single MCC unit can be serviced while all other units
remain energized.

enclosure

Increased Level of Safety

MCCs incorporate extra safety features, such
as handle interlocks to prevent the removal
of a unit when it is energized, and nonconductive barriers to protect personnel from
energized bus bars.

Reduced Space Requirements

Faster Delivery
MCCs are standardized which increases
efficiency in production and reduces delivery
time.
