Circuit breakers mounted in a row, without any spacing between them, brings about the grouping derating factor, ===>>>OOPS…You are not logged in for this group!
Depending on the technology used temperature does affect the tripping point of a circuit breaker. What does this mean in real terms? If you are the type of designer that runs components to the max then it is very important to consider this derating factor. ===>>>OOPS…You are not logged in for this group!
I never thought anyone might want to use poor circuit breaker in this type of environment. I mean 50/60Hertz is what she’s designed for. But, we learn everyday… What if you did want to use it under a different frequency? ===>>>OOPS…You are not logged in for this group!

In an enclosure…do I use an isolator or a circuit breaker? Sometimes it gets confusing as what shall we use as the mains switch for a DB or electrical panel/enclosure: – Do we use an isolator or do we use a circuit breaker? Let’s just throw out a few common-sense pointers:
This topic jumps straight into the topic of diffrent manufacturer ACB trip relay controllers and the in-depth functions…and it will always be an introduction because this can really go deep… The introduction is here. (don’t worry it opens in a new tab so you can always come back here) And here is the total introduction […]

An introduction to the circuit breaker tripping curve. So, If I pulled 6Amps through a 6amp circuit breaker will it trip? If you said yes then you must hang around this site much more frequently. So when does a circuit breaker trip then?
A circuit breaker will be damaged by a higher than designed fault current that it has to make/break…this is the “Rated Breaking Current”, normally referred to as the kA of the circuit breaker. If this energy was of the sort to melt the contacts together before the circuit breaker had time to react we have […]
