Miniature Circuit Breaker

DESCRIPTION

For installations in Australia and New Zealand to comply with AS/NZ3004, an approved double pole mains circuit breaker must be mounted upstream of the BEP control panel in the form of an RCD or MCB.

An MCB (miniature circuit breaker) is an automatic electric switch that is designed to protect damage to an electrical circuit caused by an overload or short circuit. Unlike a fuse that operates only once and then needs to be replaced, a circuit breaker can be reset to resume normal operation after the fault has been rectified.
