When it comes to protecting and switching, the high quality, safe and reliable products of the xEffect Industrial series guarantee protection of people, installations and systems worldwide. Designed and approved for industrial and high end commercial applications, the MCB xEffect series includes auxiliaries, tripping modules, interlocks, busbars and accessories.
Rated breaking capacity up to 6 kA according to IEC/EN 60898-1
Module width 1MU (1+N-poles)
Reliable cable protection
MCBs protect cables against damage due to overload and short circuits: In the event of dangerously high currents, the circuit breaker’s bimetallic thermal release will disconnect the power supply. In the event of a short circuit, the electromagnetic release will disconnect the power supply in a timely manner.
A design that is standard-compliant and quality-tested
Part 1 of IEC/EN 60898 applies to AC MCBs if the rated voltage between the phases does not exceed 440 V, the rated current does not exceed 125 A and the rated breaking capacity does not exceed 25,000 A. Circuit breakers that fall within the scope of IEC/EN 60898-1 are designed to be operated by non-experts.
The right MCB for every situation
Circuit breakers with tripping characteristics B and C are the most common types. Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic B are the standard MCB type used for lighting and socket circuits. For circuits with high inrush and peak currents (e.g. motors and luminaire banks) devices with tripping characteristic C are used.
Maximum safety in railway applications
The xEffect range of protective switchgear also ensures the highest safety standards in railway applications. Thanks to compliance with specific standards such as IEC 61373 (Rolling stock equipment – Shock and vibration) and EN 45545-2 (fire protection of railway vehicles), the devices provide maximum safety and performance in rolling stock applications. In addition to standard switchgear, we also offer a wide range of MCBs and RCDs for the connection of ring cable lugs in railway applications.
