A molded case circuit breaker, also known as an installation circuit breaker, is an electrical protection device used to protect a circuit from overcurrent, which can cause an overload or short circuit. All parts are sealed in plastic housing, auxiliary contacts, undervoltage releases and shunt releases are mostly modular. Due to its very compact structure, molded case circuit breakers are basically impossible to repair. Most of them use manual operation, and large-capacity can choose electric switching. Due to the application of electronic overcurrent release, molded case circuit breakers can also be divided into two types: class A and class B. Class B has good three-stage protection characteristics, but due to price factors, the use of thermal magnetic release Class A products have a higher market share.
