MCB Types and their Applications || Types of MCB
Miniature circuit breaker comes in different types and it is indicated by a single letter on MCB frame. Types of MCB are B type, C type, D type, K type, and Z type. In this video I will explain what is the main difference between all MCB types and which MCB is to use depending on load requirement otherwise it would cause nuisance tripping.

Hi, are fuses also have this kind of tripping curves? Or this only apply for MCB only? Thanks for your assist!

I recently installed one of these and the on off switch is working backwards. If I take it out and reinstall it the other way around will that fix this? Or is the switch working backwards caused by something else?
And if the switch is backwards in its on off function does that inhibit its ability to trip the switch when there's a real surge?

[@electricallectures]

No not at all. Norally it turns on upside down. As long as the position of handle aligns with the marking of on off or 1 0 , you you are safe to use it

So for a general home, type B is to be chosen??

[@junkerzn7312]

All domestic / home breakers will be type B or type C.
Type Z - usually too sensitive even for electronics due to the input capacitors that most electronics (such as PCs) have. Almost nobody uses type Z for anything these days.
Type B - The vast majority of home circuits can use type B breakers, offering the greatest protection from typical overload situations (such as someone putting too many space heaters on a single circuit).
Type C - Residential inductive loads such as Microwaves, A/C systems, Fluorescent lights, built-in house vacuum. Also including most woodshop style AC motors and other garage circuits.
Type K - Certain industrial loads with low-impedance wiring. Situational. Not typically found in the home.
Type D - Primarily used for running large industrial 3-phase motors with low-impedance wiring, and very large arrays of LED or Fluorescent lighting (warehouse lighting, for example). Not typically found in the home.
--
One other thing to keep in mind is that breakers with higher trip currents require lower impedance (larger) circuit wiring. Putting a Type K or Type D breaker on a domestic circuit can be dangerous because the circuit might not have low enough wiring resistance to actually cause the breaker's magnetic trip to function in a dead short.

What is 6k& 10 k mentioned on the MCB, which is best for house purpose

[@electricallectures]

Its the breaking capacity of the breaker measured in amount of current. It means if short circuit happens it will have the capability to open the circuit without rapturing or damaging inder 6000A

[@ice5842]

@@electricallectures which is best for home 6k or 10 k

[@electricallectures]

Both can work no problem.

[@sanjaypatil2532]

@@ice5842 there is nothing like 6k or 10k ratings. A B6 rated MCB means it is a 'B' type which is used for typical household electrical appliances like Geysers, Fans, Lights, Mixers etc. The '6' means it is rated for 6Amps. If the load draws more than 6Amps it will trip.

[@calvinsharara]

Whats the difference between these mcb 63A c10, 63A c16, 63A c32, 63A c63?

[@electricallectures]

The alphabet letter represent characteristic and numeric part represent it will provide overload capacity against this much current

You seem to know ur stuff but can't explain properly. U say that all Instantaneous Trips are caused only by Magnetic. Before that u said there are 2 circuit breaking methods - Heating and Tripping Coil. It's only confusing !

[@electricallectures]

Thanks for the comment. No doubt it is true that intantaneous triping is caused by magnetic whereas overload tripping which is time dependent caused by thermal. If it is not true you can correct me. Thanks
