3.2
Line protection applications of 3VA molded case circuit breakers
The main applications of the circuit breakers as line protection components are:
●
In main switchboards to provide protection for cables to subdistribution boards
●
In subdistribution boards to provide protection for cables to small distribution boards
●
Protection for mixed loads (e.g. machinery, lighting, heating)
The trip units for line protection are designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection
for:
●
Cables
●
Conductors
●
Non-motor loads
