Air Circuit Breaker (ACB)
Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs): Advanced Protection for High-Capacity Electrical Systems
At United Force Trading Company, a trusted Schneider Retail Partner, Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) represent the pinnacle of low voltage (LV) protection, designed for high-current applications requiring precision, reliability, and scalability. ACBs are engineered to safeguard electrical distribution networks in industrial, commercial, and infrastructure environments, ensuring uninterrupted power and enhanced safety.
What is an ACB?
An Air Circuit Breaker (ACB) is a robust circuit protection device that uses air as the arc-quenching medium to interrupt fault currents. Designed for high ampere ratings (typically 630A to 6,300A), ACBs excel in protecting main power distribution systems from overloads, short circuits, and ground faults. Their advanced trip units and modular design make them ideal for critical applications demanding precise control and minimal downtime.
Types of ACBs
Schneider’s ACB portfolio includes advanced models tailored to diverse needs:
Masterpact MTZ:
Micrologic Trip Units: Features Micrologic X (protection), E (energy management), and P (protection + advanced metering) for precise fault detection and energy insights.
Applications: Data centers, large industrial plants, and smart grids.
Masterpact NW:
Thermal-Magnetic & Electronic Trip Options: Combines reliability with flexibility for varied operational demands.
Applications: Marine, mining, and heavy industries.
Compact ACBs:
Space-Efficient Design: For installations with spatial constraints, without compromising performance.
Key Features of Schneider ACBs (Masterpact Series):
Ultra-High Breaking Capacity: Up to 200kA (IEC 60947-2), ensuring protection in extreme fault conditions.
