Miniature Circuit Breakers MCBs

Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) ensure electrical safety in homes, offices and other buildings as well as for industrial applications by protecting electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Once a fault is detected, the miniature circuit breaker automatically switches off the electrical circuit to prevent damage to wires and to avoid the risk of fire. Warranting reliability and safety for people and assets, MCBs are equipped with two tripping mechanisms: the delayed thermal tripping mechanism for overload protection and the magnetic tripping mechanism for short circuit protection.

Miniature Circuit Breakers for
SMISSLINE TP

The SMISSLINE miniature circuit-breaker is an energy-restricting circuit-breaker that has high performance values and that is equally suitable for the industrial sector, for commercial use and for installation at home. If a short-circuit occurs, it guarantees excellent selectivity conditions to upstream overcurrent circuit breakers while the load on equipment that is connected downstream is limited to a minimum amount.

High Performance Circuit Breakers (HPCBs)

The S800 range of High Performance Circuit Breakers is the first choice for heavy duty industrial and renewable energy applications worldwide. Thanks to an innovative short-circuit extinguishing technology, S800 devices are the ideal solution when both size and performance are required.

Surge Protection Devices (OVR)

Surge Protective Devices are designed to protect against transient surge conditions. Large single surge events, such as lightning, can reach hundreds of thousands of volts and can cause immediate or intermittent equipment failure. However, lightning and utility power anomalies only account for 20% of transient surges.

The remaining 80% of surge activity is produced internally. Although these surges may be smaller in magnitude, they occur more frequently and with continuous exposure can degrade sensitive electronic equipment within the facility.

The auxiliary switches and signal contacts are snapped on to the left of the protective devices. On the miniature circuit breakers an optional mounting on the right is also possible.

For auxiliary switches and signal contacts supplied via SMISSLINE auxiliary busbars LA or LB a version with integrated contacting pieces is available. Conventional supply via the terminals of the auxiliary devices is possible.

Digital I/O modules can read contact status, activate or deactivate lines and collect utilities’ consumptions. The range consists of 3 devices to adapt to quantity and type of installed products:

Input Module DM11
Output Module DM00
Input/Output Module DM10

DM11, DM00 and DM10 can be connected to System pro M compact® accessories of MCBs and RCDs, but also to other DIN Rail products with a digital input or output and to pulse meters (e.g . water , gas meters).

INS-S/H

Combining the functions of a signaling device and an auxiliary device in a sleek, space-saving design,smart signaling devices  can be connected to control units via a flat cable, providing as plug-and-play connection for sensors, and are compatible with most of ABB's MCB and RCD ranges. Devices are automatically detected and assigned in the webserver, providing crucial alerts and information when an adjacent switch trips.

A busway system is a type of electrical distribution system used to efficiently and safely distribute electrical power within a building or an industrial facility. A busway system consists of a series of enclosed, metal or non-metallic, rigid conductor bars that are typically housed in a protective enclosure.

These conductor bars are used to carry electrical power from the source (such as a substation or switchgear) to various points of use throughout a building or facility. The busway system may include plug-in or fixed-type connectors that allow for the easy and flexible connection of electrical equipment and loads.
