mcb
How M.C.B. works???!!!


Basic information
  • MCB is the one type of electromechanical device and which is used for protection purpose at various places.

  • MCB is the also one type of switching device. So MCB is required for safety purpose.

  • MCB operates and disconnect the circuit of home appliances against electrical short circuit and high current.

Principle of Operation


  • There are mainly two principle are used in working of MCB
  1. Magnetic Principle ( For short circuit protection)
  2. Thermal principle  ( For overload protection)

Circuit Diagram of MCB

Circuit Diagram of MCB



Working of MCB


  • When over current flowing then the heat will be produced then the thermal operation is achieved.

  • So during thermal operation, the latch mechanism will be released and contact make be open.

  • So we tell that MCB will be work by inverse time-current characteristics means short time required or greater current for operate the MCB.

  • Now, when short circuit will be occurs then the current will be increases and solanoid operates plunger to strike the strip lever so latch mechanism will be released.

  • Due to high magnetic solanoid oparation, contact will be open rapidly.

Advantages of MCB


  • Maintenance cost is less.
  • Replacement cost is less.
  • Very safe electrically.
  • Simple Operation.
  • Identification of fault in the circuit is very easy.
  • Resume the supply is very simple.

Disadvantages of MCB


  • This device is very costlier.

Application of MCB


  • MCB required at
  • Home, Office,
  • Shops, Colleges,
  • Hospitals, 
  • Huge buildings
  • ETC...
  • It is used in place of rewireable fuse.

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino

Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction to Arduino | Pin Function of Arduino | Working Process of Arduino Introduction To Arduino Arduino is an Italian company that designs and manufactures Open Source Hardware (Microcontroller) and Open Source software or IDE (Integrated Development Environment). Arduino hardware is such a programmable computerized platform, by working on which the user can combine the hardware and software and prepare the electronic brain according to his own and can control the electronic devices from that electronic brain. What is arduino? If you want to understand more easily, then we can say that Arduino microcontroller is an empty brain, in which you can upload memory by coding or programming through arduino software, so these are called open source. Arduino works like a CPU of a board computer. Right now the microcontroller of the arduino of this time that we can take up is lik

What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor What is Microprocessor? | Block Diagram of Microprocessor | Application of Microprocessor Basic Detail Of Microprocessor The  microprocessor is a semiconductor device consisting of electronic logic circuits manufactured by using either a large scale(LSI) or very large scale integration(VLSI) technique. The microprocessor is capable of performing computing functions and making decisions to change the sequence of program execution. In large computers, the central processing unit(CPU) performs these computing functions and it is implemented on one or more circuit boards. The microprocessor is in many ways similar to the CPU, however, the microprocessor includes all the logic circuitry(including the control unit)on one chip. The microprocessor consists of the following three segments which is shown in below diagram. Block Diagram of Microproce

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement

What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement Definition of Instrumentation The technology of using instruments to measure and control the physical and chemical properties of materials is called “ instrumentation ". What is Instrumentation? And Modes of Measurement When the instruments are used for the measurement and control of industrial manufacturing , conversion or treatment processes, the term process instrumentation is applied. When the measuring and controlling instruments are combined so that measurements provide impulses for remote automatic action, the result is called a control system. Modes of Measurement There are the three modes of measurement: 1. Primary Measurement 2. Secondary Measurement 3. Tertiary Measurement All the three modes are described below: (1) Primary Measurements In the primary measurement sought value of a parameter is determined by comparing it directly with reference standar
