When dealing with electrical equipment and components it is inevitable that they will fail, and you will have to deal with the consequences. The minute electrical equipment is put into place, from transformers to circuit breakers and panel switches and tap boxes, they start to decline. Deterioration of electrical products happens for a number of..
Just as molded case circuit breakers, MCCB, air circuit breakers, ACB, is device that is in place to provide protection from an electrical surge or short-circuit. The main difference is the amps they protect; ACB can withstand higher short circuit currents and mechanical stress because of the arc extinguisher element then MCCB can. There are..
No matter what business you are in, be it manufacturing, banking, health care, or education a sudden change in the power situation can be a debacle. A loss of power means a loss of time, resources, and more so it is imperative to prepare for just such an occasion. To plan ahead to avoid an..
In the past fuses were the only option when it came to protecting homes, businesses, and equipment against overloaded circuits, shorts in circuits, and other faults. With advancements in technology, circuit breakers became a popular option over the use of fuses due to the number of advantages they are able to offer. The use of..
