Fuses act as a weak link in a circuit. They reliably rupture and isolate the faulty circuit under overload and short circuit fault conditions so that equipment and personnel are protected. Following fault clearance they must be manually replaced before that circuit may be put back into operation. Striker pins are available on some designs such that remote alarms may be initiated on fuse operation. Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) or moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) are also overcurrent protection devices often with thermal and magnetic elements for overload and short circuit fault protection. Earth leakage protection, shunt trip coils and undervoltage releases may also be incorporated in the designs. As a switch they allow isolation of the supply from the load. Normally the MCB requires manual resetting after a trip situation but solenoid or motor driven closing is also possible for remote control. This chapter describes the various types of fuse and MCB together with their different uses and methods of specification. Examples and calculations for correct selection of different applications are also given. == Table 11.1 gives a summary of different fuse types, their uses, advantages and disadvantages. Table 11.2 summarizes some current relevant standards covering fuses. There are various categories ranging from subminiature electronic and solid state device protection fuses, power types (expulsion and high rupturing capacity (HRC)) to 72 kV. {| |+ Table 11.1: Summary of fuse types !

MCB = Miniature Circuit Breaker DP = Double Pole
yes. MCB is mono chloro benzene and has one halogen (chloro) attached to the benzene ring.
A 40A MCB is a circuit breaker. The surge current limit is protected to 250A 8/s0uS. The limitation capability of a circuit breaker is that characteristic whereby a current less then the prospective fault current is allowed to flow under short circuit conditions.
Miniature circuit breakers or MCBs are used to replace fuses that protect individual pieces of electrical equipment and the circuits which supply them with power. In the case of tripping because of a current overload, MCBs are very easy to reset, which is much simpler to do that having to replace blown fuses. MCBs also trip to stop the current from flowing much faster than fuses can operate. However MCBs are not better than fuses in all respects: MCBs are much more expensive than fuses and they take up more space, which is why fuses are still used for some applications.
Earth leakage miniature circuit breaker (mcb+ecb=rcbo) rcbo is called elcmb
Three types of Mcbs TypeA TypeB TypeC
TPN is same as 4P MCB TPN means Three Pole and Neutral - four pole MCB. 4P is four pole MCB
The definition of MCB is a miniature circuit breaker, it trips if there is a line to natural fault. Ill add some extra information about the different types. RCD - residual current device = This is what you could separate you're circuits up with by inserting 1 of these in you're consumer unit (if you have lets say 10 circuits it goes like this... rcd-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-rcd-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-mcb-main switch. you see the rcd's control 5 circuits each, if 1 of these circuits had an earth fault on it, the rcd will trip and 5 of them circuits will go off, which means you have to keep tripping in you're rcd with an mcb 1 at a time to see which circuit the fault is on. RCBO - residual current breaker with overload protection- These can be installed in place of mcb's and rcd's, the rcbo is an mcb and rcd in 1 breaker. For example, i have installed a consumer unit full of these, in this case if a circuit forms a fault then its only that circuit that goes off. I hope this extra piece of information helps you along and best of luck. <<>> In electrical terminology MCB stands for Miniature Circuit Breaker.
TPN MCB means Triple pole Neutral Miniature Circuit Breaker where as SPN MCB means single phase Neutral MCB.

Many names of organization and companies are abbreviated with MCB. The most famous MCB initials are for Mauritius Commercial Bank or Muslim Council of Britain.
