Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) is used to cut off the flow of electricity at a lighter current, generally up to 63 amperes. Ideal for use in household electrical installations because it is able to cut off the flow of electricity automatically when it detects an excess current, which is usually caused by a short circuit or excessive use of electrical equipment. MCB is also known for being easy to install and operate, as well as providing reliable protection for household equipment.
The Broco and Schneider brands of MCBs cater to different segments of the electrical protection market.
Broco MCBs are manufactured in Tangerang, Indonesia. They are widely used in residential and light commercial applications across Southeast Asia.
