What makes an MCB unsuitable for a load with a high inrush current?
The MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) is not suitable for loads with high surge currents, mainly due to its design characteristics and protection mechanisms. Here's a detailed explanation:The protective characteristics of MCBMCB is mainly used to provide overload and short circuit protection, and its protection characteristics are usually divided into four types: A, B, C and D, each corresponding to a different peak current bearing capacity. Feature A: Suitable for lower peak currents (typically 2
