MCCB

A Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) is a higher-capacity breaker for main incomers and larger circuits, protecting against overload and short circuit with higher current ratings and breaking capacity than an MCB. Many models offer adjustable trip settings.

⚠️ Note: Rating, breaking capacity and settings must be coordinated by a qualified engineer per local regulations; values are typical/indicative and vary widely by frame size and model.

FAQ

When is an MCCB used instead of an MCB?
MCCBs are used for higher current ratings and fault levels, typically as main switches or feeders, where an MCB's capacity would be exceeded.
Are MCCB trip settings adjustable?
Many MCCBs allow adjustment of the overload (and sometimes short-circuit) trip settings, which must be configured to protect the specific circuit and coordinate with downstream devices.
