Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)

Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs): Robust Protection for High-Current Applications

At United Force Trading Company, a trusted Schneider Retail Partner, Moulded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) are a cornerstone of our LV power-solutions portfolio. Engineered to shield electrical circuits from overloads, short-circuits and—on selected models—ground faults, MCCBs handle far higher current ratings and harsher service conditions than miniature circuit breakers (MCBs). They are therefore indispensable across industrial, commercial and infrastructure sites where reliability, scalability and precise protection are non-negotiable.

What is an MCCB?

An MCCB (Moulded Case Circuit Breaker) is an advanced protective device for medium- to high-current circuits. Encased in a moulded insulating shell, each unit offers:

  • Adjustable protection: long-time (Ir), short-time (Isd) and instantaneous (Ii) settings

  • High interrupting capacity: safely clears large fault currents

  • Thermal-magnetic or electronic trip units: accurate response to overloads and short-circuits

  • Optional ground-fault modules: early leakage-current detection

  • Isolation & switching capability: ensures safe maintenance and system reconfiguration

Types of Schneider MCCBs

Schneider classifies MCCBs by frame size and trip-unit technology rather than B/C/D curves. Key families include:

  • ComPacT NSXm (16 A – 160 A) – fixed or adjustable thermal-magnetic trip, breaking capacity up to 70 kA, ultra-compact footprint.

  • ComPacT NSX (25 A – 630 A) – thermal-magnetic or Micrologic electronic trip, breaking capacity up to 150 kA, built-in metering and communications.

  • ComPacT NS (630 A – 1600 A) – Micrologic electronic trip, breaking capacity up to 150 kA, extended protection settings for large feeders.

  • MasterPact MTZ (630 A – 2500 A) – digital Micrologic X trip unit, Bluetooth® connectivity, field-installable digital modules, Class 1 energy metering, breaking capacity up to 150 kA.

Applications of MCBBs

  • Industrial plants – motor feeders, generator outputs, heavy-machinery starters

  • Commercial complexes – main LV switchboards, elevators, HVAC, lighting risers

  • Renewable energy – solar combiner boxes, wind-turbine switchgear, battery-storage protection

  • Infrastructure & critical facilities – hospitals, airports, data centres, metro systems
