Abstract
Description
Technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a plastic case circuit breaker with strong short-circuit current breaking capacity, belonging to the technical field of emergency protection devices. Background technique
[0002] Molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) are important electrical components in industrial and civil low-voltage power distribution equipment. They are mostly used as branch switches in low-voltage power distribution systems to protect power distribution lines from overload and short-circuit faults. Among them, short-circuit fault protection is its most important function. Because the short-circuit current of the line is very large when the short-circuit fault occurs, a large-energy plasma arc will be generated between the moving and static contacts of the circuit breaker when the short-circuit current is interrupted. These technical measures quickly extinguish the arc, the circuit breaker can complete the task of breaking the short-circuit current.
