XMNC MCB Magnetic Tripping Mechanism 63A,80A.100A,125A
When the overflow of current takes place through MCB – Miniature Circuit Breaker, the bimetallic strip gets heated and it deflects by bending. The deflection of the bi-metallic strip releases a latch. The latch causes the MCB to turn off by stopping the flow of the current in the circuit.
The operating mechanism consists of both magnetic tripping and thermal tripping arrangements.
The magnetic tripping arrangement essentially consists of a composite magnetic system that has a spring loaded dash pot with a magnetic slug in a silicon fluid, and a normal magnetic trip. A current carrying coil in the trip arrangement moves the slug against spring towards a fixed pole piece. So the magnetic pull is developed on the trip lever when there is a sufficient magnetic field produced by the coil.
