An isolator switch is used to

disconnect the circuit from the power
supply so that the circuit can be
Isolator Switch maintained without interrupting
1
power to the rest of the system. The
isolator switch is usually located at
the service entrance to the building or
the main switchboard.

Air circuit breaker is a circuit breaker

for the purpose of protecting low
voltage circuit, mainly for energizing
and cutting off high current. It is used
as the master of a factory and
building, and as a main circuit breaker
of a ship, and it is possible to attach
various accessories according to the
Air Circuit
purpose.
2 Breaker and
Shunt Trip
Shunt Trip coil allows you to
remotely and quickly turn off a circuit
breaker when necessary, particularly
in situations where safety or speed is
critical, such as during a fire or when
you want to isolate a specific area of
your electrical system without
physically going to the breaker

The primary function of a miniature

circuit-breaker is to protect an
installation or appliance against
sustained overloading and short-
3 MCB 6A
circuit faults, but it will also give
protection against earth faults
provided that the earth fault loop
impedance is low enough.
4 Terminal
 A terminal block is a modular,
insulated block that secures two or
more wires together. Factories use
terminal blocks to secure and/or
Block
terminate wires. In their most basic
form, terminal blocks consist of
several individual terminals which are
arranged in a long strip.

The meter is used for measuring

active energy power consumption in a

It can accurately and directly measure
active energy consumption from
positive and reverse directions

Continuously measure the phase

currents and the neutral current of the
IDMT Over object and the earth. On detection of a
6 Current / Earth fault, the relay will start, trip the
Fault Relay circuit breaker, provide alarms and
record fault in accordance with the
application and the configured relay
functions.

The purpose of anti-condensation

heaters is to regulate an electrical
enclosure's temperature. Water vapor

Bus tie breakers are critical for

connecting and disconnecting parallel
power sources, such as ship
13 150 A 4P
generators or shore power and

incoming supply to the next MSB that
share the same busbar.

The primary function of this type of

equipment is to protect the switching

normal operating current passes
through a single phase or neutral wire.

electrical circuits of the capasitor
banks from overloads and short

flow of current when the current
exceeds a predetermined value, thus
preventing damage to the circuit and
the connected devices.

for switching circuits on and off. As
such, electrical contactors form a

Contactor switches known as relays. A relay is
an electrically operated switching
device that uses an electromagnetic
