ABB’s Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) marks 100 years of innovation, celebrating a century of electrical safety and ensuring safety across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors. Since 1924, ABB has set industry standards with its MCBs, known for their compact, flexible, and time-saving designs, facilitating easy installation. These MCBs play a crucial role in safeguarding vulnerable spaces, including factories, data centres, homes, and transport infrastructure, from electrical hazards. ABB has been manufacturing MCBs in India since 2001, contributing to the nation’s safety standards.
MCBs detect electrical faults and disconnect circuits within milliseconds, enhancing safety. As the world moves towards sustainable energy, ABB’s MCBs provide essential protection for diverse applications, from solar panels to electric vehicles. Kiran Dutt, President Electrification, ABB India, emphasises ABB’s commitment to energy efficiency and sustainability, with products designed for integration with renewable energy sources.
With compact designs suitable for retrofitting in historical buildings and modern structures alike, ABB’s MCBs ensure safety, efficiency, and connectivity. These protection devices, including MCBs, Residual-current devices (RCDs), Art Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs), and Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), contribute to higher performance and a lower carbon footprint, supporting global efforts towards energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
