NIXON MCB

NIXON MCB

Electrical distributiion needs are continuously evolving in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Improved operation safety, continuity of service, greater convenience and operating cost have assumed a tremendous significance. NIXON MCB have designed to continuously adapt to these changing

needs.

    • Low Power Consumption, thus Cost Effective & Energy saving.
    Construction:

    NIXON MCB have precisely formed moulded case & cover of flame retardant high stength thermoplastic material having high melting point, low water absorption, high dielectric stength and temperature with stand.

    Salient Features: Conforms To Latest Standard:

    MCB conforms to the latest standard IEC 60898-1 in selected ratings.

    Energy Saving:

    The low power loss as stipulated in the IEC 898/95, IEC 60898-1 has been taken care of while designing the MCB. The low power loss figure febof MCB contributes significantly to the energy saving.

    Din Rail Mounting:

    MCB's can be mounted on standard 35mm DIN Rail by snap action. No time wastage in installing and replacing the MCB.

    Shock Proof:

    Figure and hand touch safe. Tested as per the test clause 9.6 of IEC 60898-1 protection against electric shock.

    Housing:

    The housing of MCB is injection moulded from special grade of Nylon as per international specifications. The housing and other moulded componenets are fire retardant, anti-tracking and non-hygroscopic. The housing can with stand high temperature and is impact resistant.

    Contacts:

    Contacts are made of special silver inlaid copper strip, ensuring higher life and maximum safety against contact welding and erosion. These contacts have low contact resistance resulting in reduced watt loss.

    Current Limiting Actions:

    The high speed current limiting actions ensures that the MCB operate before the full prospective fault current is allowed to develop. Under fault conditions, damage can be sustained to the installation and associated equipement due to the amount of energy that passes before the current is completely interrupted. The total energy let through depends on the value of current and the time for which it flows, and is denoted by the symbol 12t. The high speed current limiting action of MCB ensures that the energy let through and any subsequent damage is minimized. The reduced LET THROUGH ENERGY (Class 3 as per EN 60898-1) assists greatly with both back-up and discrimination considerations.
