Integrated control circuit breakers
The integrated circuit-breaker, also known as a remote-controlled circuit-breaker, is a highly innovative and…
How does an integrated circuit breaker work?
Technically, an integrated circuit breaker is an electrical device characterised by :
- A precise electronic tripping mechanism
- The ability to communicate with centralised management systems
- Real-time measurement and diagnostic functions
- Modularity for rapid adaptation to specific needs
The fundamental principle of the integrated circuit-breaker remains protection against overcurrents and short-circuits, but with significantly enhanced capabilities:
- Ultra-fast detection of electrical faults
- Precisely configurable trip thresholds
- Detailed recording of electrical events
- Remote reset facility
Main areas of application for this type of product
Industrial infrastructures, data centres, commercial buildings... these integrated control circuit breakers are most often used in demanding environments requiring a high level of electrical safety.
Why use an integrated control circuit breaker?
These circuit breakers offer much more than just electrical protection. They provide enhanced safety by preventing incidents before they occur. In fact, they are highly acclaimed for their responsiveness and precision.
The other advantage of a remote-controlled circuit breaker is that any anomaly is detected and dealt with before it becomes a problem. This significantly reduces unscheduled downtime. What's more, they accurately measure electricity consumption. They identify peaks and transform electrical data into performance drivers.
Finally, these electrical products have the advantage of being remotely controllable, offering the possibility of personalised configuration and simplified integration into technical management systems.
Reducing maintenance costs, limiting production stoppages, optimising energy consumption... There are plenty of good reasons touse an integrated circuit breaker. At One-Elec, we offer a number of Schneider Electric Acti9 and Reflex iC60N circuit breakers. Don't hesitate to contact our technician to find out which type of switchgear to choose for your electrical installation or to obtain further information on installation.
