Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breakers and Differential Switch
ITIT81
Differential Switch and Magnetic Circuit Breaker are devices used in electrical installations to protect both people and electrical equipment from possible dangers and system failures.
What is a Thermal-Magnetic Circuit Breaker or Automatic Switch?
A magneto-thermal switch is an electrical safety device that has the function of interrupting the electric current in the event that it has exceeded the established reference values, in this way we can consider them switches when performing this function. These devices are known as MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) or PIA (Small Automatic Circuit Breaker).
The main function of a circuit breaker is to protect electrical installations in the event of a short circuit or overvoltage.
What is an Differential Switch or Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter or Residual Current Device (RCD)?
The differential is an electrical safety device that has the functionality of interrupting the electric current when it detects a leak or failure in the circuit, detecting the signal intensity throughout the circuit, and comparing it with the output and input power of the circuit. .
What type of electric differentials exist?
Differential for pulsating currents (types B and F): These are used in the industry and are mainly aimed at the use of electric vehicle chargers, starters and speed variators for motors, machinery, pumps, etc., and their function is detect direct current defects with low ripple level.
Selective or delayed differential (type S): Used in large installations and are usually installed at the beginning of the circuit, and the secondary differentials that exist in the distribution network will depend on them.
Standard differential for alternating current (AC type): These are the usual differentials in homes and are not affected by the fault current with a direct component, therefore being a danger to people and facilities.
Superimmunized Differential: It is a type of AC differential that is improved by avoiding disconnections caused by reactances, computer circuits or other induced currents of atmospheric origin.
Resettable Differential: It is a differential intended for domestic use and has the characteristic that it resets automatically, thus preventing electrical equipment that cannot go without power for hours from stopping: Freezers, refrigerators, alarms, etc.
