In summary, MCBs are generally used in residential and light commercial applications, while MCCBs are used in industrial and heavy-duty commercial applications.
MCBS/MCCBS
MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers) and MCCBs (Molded Case Circuit Breakers) are both types of electrical circuit breakers that are designed to protect electrical circuits and equipment from damage caused by overcurrent.
The main difference between MCBs and MCCBs lies in their current-carrying capacity and interrupting rating. MCBs are typically rated for lower current capacities (usually up to 100 amps) and have lower interrupting ratings, while MCCBs are designed to handle higher current capacities (up to 2,500 amps or more) and have higher interrupting ratings.
MCCBs also typically have additional features such as adjustable trip settings and more robust construction, making them better suited for heavy-duty industrial and commercial applications.
