MCCB - ComPacT for DC networks
ComPacT for DC networks is a product line of circuit breakers designed by Schneider Electric to provide protection for DC (direct current) lines carrying currents of up to 630 amps. These circuit breakers are specifically engineered to meet the unique requirements of DC electrical systems, including those found in renewable energy applications, data centers, and industrial installations.
Key features and characteristics of the ComPacT for DC networks circuit breakers include:
1. DC-specific Design: These circuit breakers are designed with considerations for the characteristics of direct current, such as the presence of sustained arcs and the need for rapid interruption to prevent damage.
2. High Breaking Capacity: The ComPacT for DC networks circuit breakers are capable of interrupting high fault currents in DC systems, ensuring the protection and safe operation of the electrical network.
3. Compact and Space-saving: The circuit breakers are designed with a compact footprint, making them suitable for installations where space is limited, such as in compact power distribution cabinets.
4. Easy Installation and Maintenance: Schneider Electric ensures that the ComPacT for DC networks circuit breakers are easy to install and maintain, reducing downtime and improving overall system reliability.
5. Enhanced Protection: These circuit breakers offer protection against typical DC-specific challenges, including overloads, short circuits, and fault currents that can occur in DC networks.
6. Selectivity and Coordination: The circuit breakers allow for selectivity and coordination with other protection devices in the DC network, enabling precise fault identification and isolation.
