Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What is the difference between MCCBs and MCBs (Miniature Circuit Breakers)?

A. MCCBs are designed for higher current levels, whereas MCBs are used for lower current levels.

Q. Can I reset this General Electric THQB32100 circuit breaker after tripping?

A. Yes, you can manually reset it after a trip event, provided that the fault condition has been rectified and the circuit breaker is in 'off' position. Resetting the MCCB restores the contacts to the closed position, allowing the circuit to be energised again.

Q. What is the difference between a circuit breaker and a fuse?

A. A circuit breaker has an internal switch that trips when there is excess current, whereas a fuse is a metal piece that melts when excess current overloads the circuit.
