The range of circuit breakers includes air circuit breakers (ACBs), moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) and miniature circuit breakers (MCBs). Earth leakage relays detect ground faults and abnormal leakage currents. These protective measures ensure circuit integrity, prevent equipment failure, and enhance overall electrical system safety.
Yes, all our circuit breakers comply with Australian standards, including AS/NZS 3000:2018, ensuring they meet the necessary safety and performance requirements for electrical installations in Australia. Can I use these circuit breakers in a caravan or RV? Absolutely.
RS is a globally recognised and trusted supplier, distributor, and manufacturer of industrial circuit breakers and circuit breaker accessories. In addition to our own RS PRO line, we carry a wide range of types from top brands, such as MCCBs from Siemens, MCBs from Schneider Electric and even electronic circuit breakers from ABB.
A circuit breaker system is more than just the breaker itself. It comprises several key components that work in unison to provide reliable and safe electrical protection, such as the enclosure, trip mechanisms, and terminals. The breaker itself houses the main contacts, which carry the current under normal conditions.
NHP's range of circuit breakers features a complete range of quality products for the protection of an electrical installation against overcurrent’s and short circuits in industrial, commercial, and domestic applications.
Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) protect circuits up to 125 amps and are used in the final distribution board for homes, offices, shops. They’re also used in larger switchboards where MCCBs or even ACBs are used.
