NeoBreak MCBs
NeoBreak MCBs can be used to protect & to isolate circuits from overloads & short circuits. These are in compliance with the Indian & International standards. IS 8828 IEC 60898-2 The Miniature circuit-breakers combine the following functions: n protection of circuits against overloads n protection of circuits against short-circuit currents n isolation
Thermal Release
Under overload condition the bimetal strip deflects & subsequently trips the operating mechanism
Magnetic Release
In case of Short Circuit high current flows through the magnetic coil activates the plunger to strike operating mechanism.

The terminal screws are well recessed to avoid any unpleasant accidents. The terminals are "finger touch proof" and conforms to IP20 degree of protection. Positive contact indication ensures the state of the device (ON or OFF). NeoBreak range offers complete protection to the installer as well as to the user.
The conditions specified by IEC 60947-2 for this function are as follows:
l l l
Positive contact indication Impulse withstand voltage Very low leakage current, checked after short circuit breaking capacity test (End of service life test) These characteristics considerably increase the dependability of Circuit Breaker & provides ultimate guarantee concerning user safety.
Isolation
NeoBreak MCB is completely suitable for Isolation as specified by IEC 609472/ IS 13947-2. Corresponding symbol is marked on the front face of MCB. It ensures complete electrical isolation of downstream circuits or the equipment when MCB is switched off.
IP 20 Protection
The position of operating handle always indicates the real position of contacts inside the MCB. In a critical case of contacts welding, the operating handle does not indicates the OFF position & thus the consequences of serious accidents can be avoided.
Prevents any electrical shock by accidental touch to any live part providing finger touch proof terminal.
Bi connect terminals
The line connections can be made either at top or bottom terminal without any risk of unsafe operations, thus providing ultimate flexibility.
With this feature there is a choice to connect busbar and incomer cable simultaneously. This results in to elimination of looping and ensures firm connectivity.
Captive screw
Ease of mounting
This screw provides a flexibility of line cut and Pozidrive for use of any type of available screw driver.
Terminal suitable for 35 sq. mm (Cu/Al) ensures perfect termination. Specially made for Indian conditions.
NeoBreak MCBs significantly limit the let through energy (when a fault occurs) due to ultra fast contact separation technique & quick quenching of emergency arc in the chamber. 2 Thus, these MCBs fall below the permissible limit I t value of energy limiting class 3 specified in standards. This gives guarantee of excellent discrimination with upstream current limiting devices. All Schneider MCBs are current limiting type and comply to energy limiting class 3 as per IEC 60898.

NeoBreak RCCBs
The basic need of every individual is food, clothing & shelter but today, the use of electricity has also become an integral part. Using electricity has become so common, that we tend to forget that it could be hazardous. Majority of the industrial & domestic fires are due to damaged insulation or loose termination, which invariably cause leakage of current & subsequent sparks, resulting into a electrical fire. NeoBreak RCCBs are used to protect against hazardous & harmful effects of Earth Leakage currents. These RCCBs are capable of detecting earth leakage currents & isolating the faulty line. Residual current circuit-breakers ensure: n the isolation of electrical circuits n the protection of persons against direct and indirect contacts n the protection of installations against insulation faults. They comply to following standards IS 12640 IEC 61008
Risk involved
The flow of current through electrical facility always involves risks. Poorly insulated apparatus, faulty wires or incorrect use of an electrical device causes current to flow through the wrong path (through insulation to the earth). This current is nothing but the leakage current. Leakage current involves Two major risks. n Risk of Fire n Risk of Electrocution
Risk of Fire
A 100/300 mA RCCB is recommended against protection of fire A poorly insulated wire or a loose connection is enough to create fire hazard: a portion of the current which normally flows in the conductor can find a way back to the earth through these "leakages", and through materials with varying degrees of conductivity (metal frames, wet dust, etc.) These materials are not intended to conduct current, and may heat up to such a degree that they will set fire to whatever they are in contact with (insulation, saw dust, etc.). This phenomena will ignite a spark and subsequent fire.
Risk of Electrocution
30 mA RCCB is recommended to provide protection against Electrocution Electrocution is the passage of current through human body, which is dangerous to human life. The flow of current through human body can effect Cardiac fibrillation as elaborated below.
Effect of electric current through human body has been well researched and following chart summarizes the results:
500 mA
Immediate cardiac arrest resulting in death. Cardiac fibrillation; the heart begins to vibrate and no longer beats at a steady rate. This situation is dangerous since it is irreversible. Muscle contraction can cause respiratory paralysis.
70-100 mA
20 - 30 mA
10 mA 1 - 10 mA
Muscle contraction ; the person remains stuck to the conductor. Prickling sensations
However, electrocution should not be viewed in terms of "current' alone but in terms of "contact voltage" also. A person gets electrocuted by coming in contact with an object that has a different potential from his/her own. This difference in potential causes the current to flow through the body. The human body has known limits: n Under normal dry conditions ,voltage limit= 50V n In damp surroundings, voltage limit = 25V n 30 mA is considered to be the allowable maximum current that will not cause irreversible harm.
Operating Principle
n
la
They have a residual current operated electromechanical release which operates without any auxiliary source of supply to open a circuit automatically in the case of an earth leakage fault between phase and earth greater than or equal to a threshold of 30, 100 or 300mA. They are set to trip at a maximum value called a "threshold" or sensitivity level which is measured in milliamps. The maximum values coincide with the safety limits for the human body or for preventing fires. Positive contact indication and trip indication are provided on the front face by red flag indicator.

Protection of People
A 30 mA RCCBs will trip instantly when it detects fault current greater than or equal to 30 mA. All risk of serious electrocution is avoided. The 30 mA unit provides protection against direct contact. This is referred to as "Protection of People".
Protection of Property
The consequences of the flow of fault currents through inappropriate materials may be limited by systematically using detection devices set to 100 or 300 mA. These devices are capable of detecting any earth leakage current greater than 100/ 300 mA. All risk of fire is avoided. This is referred to as "Protection of Property".
