In today's era of advanced electrical systems and intricate network connectivity, the demand for robust and reliable circuit protection devices has become paramount. One such device that has gained significant popularity in recent years is the Molded Case Circuit Breaker with Residual Leakage Protection. This innovative product not only offers the traditional protection against overloads and short circuits but also incorporates a vital safety feature - residual leakage protection.
Residual leakage, commonly referred to as earth leakage or ground fault current, is a potentially hazardous condition that can occur in electrical systems. It is caused when a current flows from a live conductor to the earth or ground, bypassing the intended return path through the neutral conductor. This unwanted flow of current can lead to electrocution, fires, and equipment damage.
The Molded Case Circuit Breaker with Residual Leakage Protection is designed to detect such hazardous conditions and act swiftly to isolate the faulty circuit. It utilizes advanced sensing technology to monitor the current flowing through the circuit and detect any imbalance between the live and neutral conductors. If a residual leakage current exceeds the pre-set threshold, the breaker immediately trips, disconnecting the faulty circuit from the power supply.
