Miniature Circuit Breakers

05/12/2009 10:53 PM

Hello,I am Ranjith.

My question is how can we protect a system from being short circuited?

Is there any means for sensing n displaying the degree of short circuit effect?

Install a ZPCT (Zero Phase Current Transformer). It is very good and able to protect your system from short circuited. Any unbalance current will trip your MCCB.

It also able to protect your earth leakage current due to unbalance current in your 4 wire system. Installation is easy and simple.

Yes there are, but can you explain your application more clearly (especially since you answered the first part of your question yourself in the title of your thread).

Thanks.
