Abstract:

DC moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB) is an important part of low voltage electrical apparatus.The arc extinction is maily completed by the arc extinguishing system in MCCB.DC MCCB can use the method of increasing the number of poles and increasing capacity to improve the short-circuit breaking capacity.The method of increasing the number of poles increases the arc voltage by connecting more poles in series.The method of increasing capacity increases the arc voltage by increasing the arc extinguishing ability of a single arc extinguishing chamber.Inductance also plays a very important role in short circuit breaking.

Key words: DC moulded case circuit breaker (MCCB), arc, arc extinguishing chamber, short-circuit breaking capacity
