What is RCB and MCB?
MCB is Miniature circuit breaker and RCCB is Residual current circuit breaker. Both are most commonly used device in electrical. Combination of MCB and RCCB are used to protect from electrical shock, overload, short circuit and Earth fault. However, both mcb and rccb has advantages over each other.
What is the name of electrical symbol?
An electronic symbol is a pictogram used to represent various electrical and electronic devices or functions, such as wires, batteries, resistors, and transistors, in a schematic diagram of an electrical or electronic circuit.
What is a 52 circuit breaker?
2 standard defined device number 52 as an ac circuit breaker that is used to close and interrupt a power circuit under normal conditions or to interrupt this circuit under fault or emergency conditions [1].
Why MCB is used instead of fuse?
MCB has several advantages over fuse: MCB is more sensitive to current than fuse. It detects any abnormality in the current flow and automatically switches off the electrical circuit. In case of MCB, the faulty zone of electrical circuit can be easily identified.
What is a 6 amp MCB used for?
Typically, a circuit breaker or fuse of 6 amps is used. The conductors in lighting cables therefore need not be very thick. One 100 Watt bulb uses less than half an amp as shown below. Therefore, a 6 amp mcb could safely protect a circuit feeding more than ten 100 W bulbs.
What is the symbol of bulb?
A light bulb is shown as a circle with a cross inside it.
What is a contactor symbol?
The contactor is designated as K and, in the coil symbol, the K1/4 indicates that there are four associated contacts. Sometimes the coil designation is placed beside the coil symbol. In this case there are three normally open power contacts, and one normally open control contact.
