63A SCNEIDER FP AC MCB

Description

C-63A refers to the trip characteristic curve of the MCB. The C-curve means that the MCB will trip when the current exceeds 5 to 10 times its rated current. For a 63A MCB, this means the breaker will trip when the current exceeds 315A to 630A. This is suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as those that include motors, transformers, or other inductive loads.

• 63A is the current rating of the MCB, meaning it is designed to carry 63 amperes of continuous current without tripping under normal operating conditions.
• FP (Four Pole):

• Four Pole (FP) MCBs are designed for three-phase electrical systems and are used to protect four conductors:
  • Three live phases (L1, L2, L3)
  • One neutral (N)
• The four-pole design ensures that all four conductors (three phases and neutral) are disconnected simultaneously in the event of an overload or fault, offering complete isolation and safety. This is critical in three-phase circuits, which are commonly used in industrial, commercial, and large residential systems.

MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker):

• An MCB is a protective device designed to automatically disconnect an electrical circuit in the event of an overcurrent (such as an overload or short-circuit). It is used to prevent damage to wiring and equipment by stopping the flow of excessive current.

Schneider Electric:

• Schneider Electric is a global leader in energy management and automation, known for producing high-quality, innovative electrical products. Their circuit breakers, including MCBs, are widely trusted for their reliability and safety in protecting electrical circuits.

Key Features of the C-63A FP MCB Schneider:

• Current Rating: 63A, meaning it is rated to handle 63 amperes of continuous current.
• Type: Four Pole (FP), designed for three-phase electrical systems, offering protection to all three phases and neutral conductors simultaneously.
• Curve Type: C-curve, trips the breaker when the current exceeds 5 to 10 times the rated current, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents.
• Overload and Short Circuit Protection: Provides protection against overload (when the current exceeds the MCB’s rating) and short circuits (immediate surge of high current).
• Safety: Ensures complete disconnection of the circuit in case of a fault, offering full protection to the entire electrical system by disconnecting all four conductors (three live phases and neutral).

Applications:

• Industrial and Commercial: The C-63A FP MCB is typically used in three-phase circuits in industrial and commercial applications, such as machinery, pumps, HVAC systems, and other large equipment.
• Heavy-Duty Loads: Suitable for protecting circuits with high-power loads, including motors, large machinery, and air-conditioning systems.
• Three-Phase Electrical Systems: Ideal for use in three-phase electrical installations, providing protection for both the live and neutral wires in case of an overload or fault.
