Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. What are the reasons for frequent tripping of the circuit breaker?

A. A circuit overload, short-circuiting, ground fault surges, defective circuit breaker or an arc fault can cause tripping of the circuit breaker.

Q. What are the safety precautions to consider while using a circuit breaker?

A.

• Keep the area around the breaker clean by using an enclosure. Remove the dust, dirt, grease, moisture, foreign contaminants or any safety hazards near the circuit breaker area.
• Check that the unit's mechanical linkages, like the toggle actuator, are free to move by switching the unit ON & OFF several times.
• Press the optional push-to-trip button at the bottom side of the unit to mechanically test the circuit breaker.
• Inspect the unit for any cracks, chipping, discolouration or any sign of overheating. Tighten the terminals & connectors. Check the mounting hardware.

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.
