How the modern circuit breaker improves electrical safety AND drives operational efficiencies through embedded features

The business and energy landscape is changing - there is a drive for 24/7 operations whilst simultaneously lowering carbon emissions, reducing operational costs, maintaining system uptime and improving employee safety. 

The humble MCCB which has been a mainstay in commercial and industrial electrical circuit protection can help play a pivotal role in improving some operational processes through a best practice approach and adopting key design fundamentals to move from being a circuit breaker to a system maker.

This 1 hour CPD discusses the evolution of the MCCB to what specifiers and consultants need to consider now to help drive future operational and safety improvements.

• Improved ZSI selectivity
• Wider range setting for overload adjustment
• Load shedding capabilities to reduce cost and physical footprint
• Ensuring system uptime by remotely checking breaker health with its predicative maintenance feature
• The ability to configure and test circuit breakers safely through a PC
