40A HAVELLS FP AC MCB

Description

A 40A FP (Four Pole) MCB from Havells is a Miniature Circuit Breaker designed to provide protection for three-phase circuits with a 40-ampere rating. This type of MCB is typically used in industrial, commercial, or large residential applications, especially where there is a need to protect heavy electrical loads.

Breakdown of Features:

1. 40A: The current rating of 40 amperes means that the MCB is designed to carry up to 40A of continuous current without tripping. If the current exceeds this limit, the MCB will trip, disconnecting the circuit to prevent damage due to overload or short circuits.
2. FP (Four Pole): A four-pole MCB is used to protect three-phase systems, which consist of three live conductors (phases) and one neutral. The FP MCB can simultaneously disconnect all four conductors (the three phases and the neutral) in case of an electrical fault, ensuring complete isolation and protection.
3. MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker): This is a protective device that automatically switches off the circuit in the event of an overload or short-circuit condition. It helps to avoid electrical hazards such as fires, damage to equipment, and electrical shocks.
4. Brand: Havells: Havells is a well-established, trusted brand known for providing high-quality electrical protection devices. Their products are designed to comply with international standards for safety and reliability.

Key Applications:

• Industrial Equipment: The 40A FP MCB is commonly used to protect heavy industrial machinery and equipment that require a stable three-phase power supply, such as pumps, motors, or large HVAC systems.
• Commercial Buildings: For large commercial spaces with three-phase power systems, this MCB can protect circuits feeding equipment such as elevators, lighting, or large air conditioning systems.
• Large Residential Buildings: In larger homes with a significant electrical load or a need for three-phase power, this MCB can be used for protecting circuits serving high-power appliances.
• Air Conditioning Systems: Especially in large, centralized HVAC systems that require three-phase power.

Key Benefits:

1. Comprehensive Protection: The four-pole design ensures that all four conductors (three phases and neutral) are disconnected in case of an overload or fault, providing enhanced protection for both the electrical circuit and connected equipment.
2. Prevent Equipment Damage: By disconnecting the circuit during an overload or short-circuit, the MCB helps protect expensive equipment and appliances from damage.
3. Safety Assurance: It provides a safer electrical system by preventing excessive current flow, thus reducing the risk of fire or electrical shock hazards.
4. High Capacity: With a 40A rating, it is ideal for circuits with larger power requirements, commonly found in industrial and commercial setups.

Specifications:

• Rated Current: 40 Amps, designed to carry up to this current in a safe and continuous manner.
• Pole Configuration: Four poles (three phases + neutral), suitable for three-phase systems.
• Tripping Characteristics: Available with different trip curves (e.g., B, C, D), which determine how quickly the MCB trips in response to overload or short-circuit conditions. The selection of the trip curve will depend on the specific application and the nature of the load.
• Standard Compliance: Complies with international safety and quality standards (such as IS/IEC 60898).
