60898 is an IEC standard; there are two parts. 1 is for AC, 2 is for DC.

IEC 60898-1 "applies to a.c. air-break circuit-breakers for operation at 50 Hz or 60 Hz, having a rated voltage not exceeding 440 V (between phases), a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated short-circuit capacity not exceeding 25000 A."

IEC 60898-2 "gives additional requirements for single- and two-pole circuit-breakers suitable for operation with direct current, having a rated d.c. voltage not exceeding 220 V for single-pole and 440 V for two-pole circuit-breakers, a rated current not exceeding 125 A and a rated d.c. short-circuit capacity not exceeding 10000 A. This Part 2 is to be used in conjunction with IEC 60898-1." (quotes taken from IEC abstracts)

What is the 'short circuit capacity' of a 32A 60898 MCB?

Depends on manufacturer..Normally the ratings are as follows 1. Service short circuit breaking capacity is 7.5 kA 2. Rated short circuit breaking capacity is 10 kA.


What meaning mcb?

MCB, Miniature Circuit Breaker is electric switch which is used to protect against short circuits


What is the full form of 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.


What is a mcb and what is it used for?

mcb is master circuit breaker. it is used in the circuit for the protection of equipments from over voltage.


What is mcb and cb?

MCB = Miniature Circit Breaker CB = Circuit Breaker


What is meant by mcb and dp?

MCB = Miniature Circuit Breaker DP = Double Pole


How do you select an MCB?

While selecting an MCB you have to check: 1) Current Rating; 2) Response Time; 3) Manufacturer; 4) Type of MCB (means single pole, double pole, three pole, four pole - it depends on the application); 5) Cost; 6) short circuit breaking capacity. For more information see the answers to the Related Questions and the Related Link shown below.


What is the surge current limit for a 40 A MCB?

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.


Why 28 days test required for mcb testing why not 30 days?

The standard for testing of Miniature Circuit Breakers - IEC 60898 has arbitrarily decided on 28 days during which the temperature rise is to be measured. The standard states: "The circuit-breaker is in the closed position, the current being established and interrupted by an auxiliary switch. During this test the circuit-breaker shall not trip. During the last period of current flow the temperature-rise of the terminals shall be measured." If the characteristic can be verified for 28 days, the MCB passes the test. Hence 28 days, and not 30 days.


What is difference between spn and tpn mcb db?

TPN MCB means Triple pole Neutral Miniature Circuit Breaker where as SPN MCB means single phase Neutral MCB.


What is the full form of MCB's in Physics?

It is miniature circuit breaker


What are the difference MCB and CB?

The main difference between MCB, RCCB, and Isolators Isolators are generally used in power system while on the other hand, MCB is the circuit breaker. Isolators are manually-operated device, and on the contrary, the circuit breaker is the automatically-operated device.
