MCB's

GreatWhite MCB’s ensure the safety of cables and other electronic peripherals with a dual protection system that safeguards against thermal overload and electromagnetic short circuit. Manufactured using quality components, like Silver Inlaid Copper, maximise contact reliability and provide increased energy savings. Housed in a high strength, flame retardant material with shock proofing and snap push technology improves safety and ease during mounting and demounting without interfering with other MCB’s within the distribution board. Designed to surpass the highest international standards with a massive 10KA breaking capacity for the full range of 0.5A to 63A and a unique mid trip feature that allows instant identification of faulty circuits.
Waterproof MCB's

dual protection (both overload & shortcircuit)

This is achieved by thermal operation of the bimetal strip which deflects when heated by the over current passing through it, thereby tripping the operating mechanism and causing the contact to open.
THERMOSTATIC BI-METAL
It is a composite material comprising of two metallic layers of different co-efficients of thermal expansion. These are permanently bonded together by pressure welding.
SHORT CIRCUIT PROTECTION
In an event of short circuit, the high current - in the range of KA, energises the solenoid and a magnetic field is created. Due to this magnetic field, the anchor is pulled down which pushes the plunger to strike the inner latch causing instantaneous opening of the contacts.

pioneering rccbs that guarantee you stay out of harm’s way.

The flow of current through electrical facilities always involves risks. Poorly insulated equipment, faulty wires and incorrect use of electrical devices cause current to flow through the wrong path (i.e. through the insulation) to the earth. This current is called ‘Leakage Current’. Earth leakage is an electrical hazard and is responsible for electrical shocks and fires. Earth leakage and its associated hazards can be prevented by Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB) that is also popularly known as Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB).

GreatWhite MCB Changeover Switch is a manual operated changeover switch for switching load between two power supplies. MCB Changeover switch finds wide applications in residential, commercial as well as in industries area. This switching device widely accepted For Individual Bungalow (IB) which is having low voltage distribution circuits. Changeover switches are used to shift from one source of supply to another source and vice versa. GreatWhite MCB changeover switch comes in 2P (Double Pole) and 4P (Four Pole) versions, for single and three phase application respectively. It has three positions ( I-O-II) with centre-off. They are switch disconnectors with independent manual operation, capable of making, carrying and breaking currents under normal circuit conditions. Which may include operating overload condition and carry under specified abnormal circuit conditions such as those of short circuit for a specified time.

Greatwhite Isolators are switch disconnectors with independent manual operation, capable of making, carrying, and breaking current under normal circuit conditions, which may include operating under overload condition and also carry current under a specified abnormal circuit conditions such as those of short circuits for a specified time.
  • Safety terminals to avoid improper cable termination
  • Easy Snap pusher for mounting easily on Din Rail channel of DB’s
  • Large cable terminal to terminate cable size upto 25 sqmm
  • Cooler operation - Grooves provides on outer body on Isolator so that when individual poles are placed adjacent to each other in DB’s It forms a very infective path for better air circulation resulting no overheating between two poles.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the role of an MCB in home switchgear systems?

An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is a crucial component in modern switchgears for home electrical systems. It automatically trips during a short circuit or overload, ensuring safety and convenience by allowing you to reset it without replacing a fuse or requiring external assistance. Alongside MCBs, an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) adds another layer of protection by detecting and isolating leakage currents, safeguarding against electric shocks. An isolator further enhances safety by allowing manual disconnection of electrical circuits for maintenance or emergencies.

With a high breaking capacity, MCBs isolate problematic areas, preventing extensive damage and ensuring only specific zones are affected during faults, avoiding a complete blackout.

Integrate MCBs seamlessly with your home setup, explore our distribution boards for a complete safety solution.

What is the difference between MCBs and RCCBs?

An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) and an RCCB (Residual Current Circuit Breaker) serve distinct but complementary roles in home switchgear systems:

MCB: Protects against overloads and short circuits, automatically tripping to prevent damage and allowing for easy resetting without changing the fuse.

RCCB: Protects against earth leakage and electrical shocks, detecting leakage currents to ensure human safety.

Both are essential for a secure electric switchboard. Using MCBs and RCCBs together enhances the overall safety and functionality of your electrical system. Pair GreatWhite RCCBs with GreatWhite MCBs in a common distribution board (DB) to ensure comprehensive protection.

What is the importance of switchgears in modern homes?

Switchgears are crucial in modern homes for ensuring safety and convenience. An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) plays a key role by protecting against overloads and short circuits. Proper configuration and installation of switchgears improve power quality by isolating affected areas during extreme conditions, preventing extensive damage. This ensures that power quality is maintained and any issues are contained, enhancing the overall safety and functionality of your home's electrical system.
