Concept
• A circuit breaker or isolation knife is a
manual shut-off CC used in a low-voltage
electrical network.
• Circuit breakers are very commonly used in
residential and industrial circuits in small
power ranges with small switching
frequency.

Concept
• Particularly, the load circuit breaker can
switch off the rated current, even if the
overload is small. This type can withstand
short-circuit currents but is not capable of
short-circuiting.

Classification :
It is possible to classify circuit breakers in
different ways:
- According to the structure we have 1pole, 2
pole, 3pole.
- According to rated voltage: 250V, 500V.
- According to the rated current, there are
types: 10A, 15A, 20A, 25A, 30A, 60A, 75A,
100A, 150A, 200A, 350A, 600A, 1000A....

Classification :
• According to insulating materials: Porcelain
base, stone base, plastic.
• Under protection conditions: type with box
type without box.
• According to the requirements of use, there
are types: with protective fuses, types
without protective fuses.
• There are also single-way circuit breakers
and 2-way circuit breakers (island circuit
breakers).

SPECIFICATIONS
Choose disconnector bases on 2 conditions:
• Ur-dis ≥ Uworking
• Ir-dis ≥ Ical
Ical: is the computational line of the electrical
network

A controller is an electric instrument used to
switch electrical circuits by rotating levers or
steering wheels, control directly or indirectly
remotely, perform complex circuit switches to
control, start, adjust speed, reverse rotation,
brake electricity, etc. electrical machines and
electrical appliances.
