An MPCB (Motor Protection Circuit Breaker) is a specialised circuit breaker designed to protect electric motors against overload and short circuits. These electrical devices combine both protections in one unit, ensuring efficient motor safety. MPCBs indicate their on/off status, include an emergency stop function, and feature finger-safe terminals for added safety. Each fault triggers a dedicated trip alarm, making diagnostics easier. With an MPCB, motor protection and control are streamlined into a single, reliable device.
Benefits
1. Motor Protection – Protects motors from overloads, short circuits, and phase failures.
2. Accurate Tripping – Ensures precise response to current levels, reducing motor damage.
3. Space Efficient – Combines multiple protections in one unit, saving panel space.
4. Reduces Downtime – Quickly isolates faults to prevent system-wide failures.
5. Easy Reset – Allows manual or automatic reset for operational flexibility.
