This document discusses distribution boards and overcurrent protection devices. It provides information on: - The main components and functions of a distribution board, including circuit breakers and fuses for distributing electrical energy. - The types of main switches used in distribution boards, such as switch-fuse combinations or fuse-switch combinations in single pole or triple pole configurations. - Earth leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs) and residual current circuit breakers (RCCBs) for protection against earth faults. - Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) of various amp sizes for protection of single phase 240V circuits, which operate through either magnetic or thermal mechanisms.

1. DISTRIBUTION BOARD :
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION DEVICES

2. -The distribution board is an assemblage of parts including one or
more fuses or circuit breakers, arranged for the distribution of
electrical energy to final circuits or to other distribution boards.
- Main function of distribution board is to protect the circuit and
electrical equipment.

neutral, 4 way.

4. i. Main Switch ( Suis utama )
- Main switch is mecanical control to open
and conect the circuit manualy.
-Two types of main swithch :
a. Switch – fuse .
- Domestic use.
b. Fuse – switch.
- Have switch and fuse.
Example : Single Pole and Neutral ( SPN )
Triple Pole and Neutral ( TPN )

5. Fuse – switch.

6. Fuse – switch.

7. ii . Circuit Breaker .
Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker. ( ELCB )
Pemutus Litar Bocor ke Bumi. ( PLBB )
Residual Current Circuit Breaker ( RCCB)
- Two type of ELCB .
a. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker . Current control.
b. Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker . Voltage control.

11. iii. Miniature Circuit Breaker ( MCB)
Pemutus Litar Miniatur
These are increasingly used for excess-current protection in single phase,
240 V circuits. The circuit breaker is essentially a switch which may be;
(a) Opened and closed by hand.
(b) Opened automatically when overloaded.
The tripping action may be either magnetic or thermal. In general both of
these actions are used in this type of circuit breaker.
Protection against sustained overcurrent is given by the bending of bi-metal
strip with its time-lag effect, while high speed protection against a short
circuit have given by magnetic operation .

14. Jenis magnet terma:
Pelantik akan terkendali dalam jangkamasa lama.
Kendalian akan dilakukan oleh alat sesentuh dwilogam
(bimetal). Apabila arus lebih melaluinya, bahan logam
yang satu akan pelantik dan terlepas daripada sentuhan
lalu mengendali pelantik sistem mekanisma suis ke arah
OFF.
Pelantikan serta merta dikendalikan oleh satu alat
elektromagnet bagi beban lebih di sekitar 10 x kadaran
arusnya.

19. -Use the diversity factor ( faktor keperbagaian ) to calculate and MCB ratio size.
Example :
- Use the pandaflour light ( lampu kalimantang ) 40 W. And voltage supply 240 V.
Try to calculate ,how many light can use as MCB is 6 Amp. ?
