    Terminal Connector

    CONTACTOR
    is a spring actuated mechanism having a set of
    double-breaking power contacts. It also have a set
    of auxiliary contacts, generally 2 NO & 2NC,
    which are used for control wiring.

    Earth Leakage Circuit


    Breakers

    Earth Leakage Circuit


    Breakers
    ELCB
    is used for the protection against electrical leakage in the
    circuit. When somebody gets an electric shock or the
    residual current of the circuit exceeds the fixed value,
    ELCB cuts off the power within the time of 0.1s
    automatically protecting the personal safety and
    preventing the equipment from the fault. ELCB also
    protect the circuit against over load and short-circuit.

    Mini Circuit Breaker


    It is used for protecting the circuit against
    overload and short circuit. It can be used in
    lighting and electric motor distribution system.

    MCCB

    It is used to control electric energy in distribution networ


    and is having overload and short circuit protection

    Residual Current Circuit Breakers


    to open a circuit automatically in the case of
    an earth leakage fault between phase and
    earth and/or neutral greater than a set
    current generally 300mA. It is used in
    domestic, commercial and industrial
    installations.

    Screw Circuit Breaker

    Mirco Switch

    General Relay
    Suitable for DC or AC circuit switching in various
    automation devices, process control and communication
    equipments

    Motor control centre


    An MCC is a large enclosure designed to house standard
    motor control equipment. The unique characteristic of an
    MCC is that the motor controls are contained in plug-in units.
    Ability to Plug In
    control components can plug in and unplug instead of having
    to wire each device.
    For example: a combination starter can be plugged into a
    motor control center just like you would plug in a household
    device such as a lamp. However, in an MCC, the user can feed
    much larger loads. Note that industrial motors operate on
    three phase power, unlike a typical household device; this is
    why MCC units have three power stabs plus a fourth stab to
    provide a means for grounding.

    Advantages of MCCs
    Lower Wiring and Mounting Cost
    Only one set of incoming power wires needs to be routed to the
    MCC. The MCC distributes power to all devices through its power
    bus network. MCC units are pre-wired. Rather than mounting each
    of many small enclosures to the wall, a whole MCC can be
    quickly mounted to the floor.
    Expandability
    Neater Appearance
    Reduced Downtime
    problem is traced to an MCC unit easily, it can be unplugged and a
    spare unit can be quickly plugged in.
    A single MCC unit can be serviced while all other units remain
    energized.

    Increased Level of Safety


    MCCs incorporate extra safety features, such as handle
    interlocks to prevent the removal of a unit when it is
    energized, and non-conductive barriers to protect
    personnel from energized bus bars.

    Reduced Space Requirements


    Faster Delivery
    MCCs are standardized which increases efficiency in
    production and reduces delivery time.
