Features of 5sj43 Siemens Miniature Circuit Breaker
- Tripping Characteristic Explanation: The anticipated tripping behavior, especially the expected trip time of the desired MCB, is determined by its I-t tripping characteristic.
- Two-Tiered Tripping Systems: Aligned with the existing overload release system using bimetal and the short-circuit release system with a magnet coil, the I-t tripping characteristic path comprises two distinct sections:
- The Overload Section (Thermal)
- The Short Circuit Release Section (Magnetic)
- Overload Section Details: The overload section of the curve defines the trip behavior associated with the bimetal element.
- Short Circuit Release Section Details: The short circuit release section of the characteristic curve explains how the short circuit coil releases.
- Tripping Characteristics Importance: Depending on the equipment in use and the operational patterns of connected loads, it’s crucial for the MCB to trip during short circuits to ensure effective short circuit protection. These specific tripping behaviors are standardized as per IS/IEC 60898-1.
- Tripping Characteristic B: Tripping occurs when the current is between 3 to 5 times the normal full load current (3-5 x In). MCBs with ‘B’ characteristic react swiftly to short circuits and are ideal for safeguarding incandescent lighting and socket outlet circuits in residential and commercial settings where surge-related trips are less likely.
