MCB & MCCB

Miniature Circuit Breaker:

The simplest form of circuit breaker which is suitable for operation by normal person
.It generally have fixed protection settings with only 2 positions i.e. on and off. This
breaker is normally used for the end circuit protection e.g. lighting, Heater, Cooler,
Sockets etc. These breakers are normally available in range of 0.5-125A with Short
Circuit Current Rating up to 25KA. The Standard MCB sizes in Amperes are
6,8,10,13,16,20,25,32,40,50,63,80,100,125 (underlined are ones that I have not
seen in Abu Dhabi)

Molded Case Circuit Breaker:

Molded circuit breakers may or may not have adjustable protection settings e.g. the
operational current normally can be adjusted from anywhere between 50% and
100%. They normally have three operational position i.e. on-off-trip. Mechanism of
working is normally thermo magnetic and electronic .Plus they also have a reset
option. The operational current ratings are
16, 25, 32, 40, 50, 63, 80, 100, 125, 160, 200, 250, 300/315, 350, 400, 500,
600/630, 800, 1000, 1250, 1600, 2000, 2500, 3200
Standard sizes are from 25A to 630A. The short circuit current rating is up to 100KA.
