  • Mini Circuit Breaker

    As a professional manufacturer of Mini Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Pugao(Plannter) provides high-efficiency electrical safety and reliability products to our customers. MCBs are key components in modern electrical equipment, providing robust overload and short-circuit protection. They automatically shut off the current in the event of a fault. Unlike traditional fuses, they are resettable, offering longer lifespans and lower costs.


    How Does a Miniature Circuit Breaker Work?

    An MCB is an electromechanical device that protects circuits from overcurrent conditions. It detects fault conditions and immediately cuts off the current by interrupting the on/off switch. Specifically, its function is to protect against overloads and short circuits. So how does this process work?

    When the current flowing through an MCB exceeds its rated value for a long time, the bimetallic strip inside heats up and bends. This action triggers the circuit breaker's tripping mechanism, and the current is cut off. Through this process, overload protection is achieved.

    When a huge current surge occurs suddenly, that is, a short circuit occurs, the electromagnetic coil inside the MCB will generate a strong magnetic field, instantly forcing the contacts to separate, cutting off the circuit within a few milliseconds. This is short-circuit protection.

    After the fault is cleared, it can be manually reset by turning the operating lever back to the "ON" position, and power can be restored without replacing parts.


    What is the Difference Between Mini Circuit Breaker Type B, C, and D?

    A Mini Circuit Breaker is classified into Type B, C, and D based on its tripping characteristics, especially how it responds to inrush currents. Choosing the correct type ensures proper protection without unnecessary tripping.

    Type B:

    • Trips at 3 to 5 times the rated current (In).
    • Suitable for low inrush current applications.
    • Commonly used in residential circuits such as lighting and small appliances.
    • Provides fast protection for sensitive loads.

    Type C:

    • Trips at 5 to 10 times the rated current (In).
    • Designed for moderate inrush current loads.
    • Widely used in commercial and light industrial applications.
    • Ideal for equipment like air conditioners, pumps, and small motors.

    Type D:

    • Trips at 10 to 20 times the rated current (In).
    • Handles high inrush currents without nuisance tripping.
    • Used in heavy industrial applications.
    • Suitable for transformers, large motors, and welding equipment.

    Difference Between MCB and RCD / RCCB

    A Mini Circuit Breaker and an RCD/RCCB are both essential protection devices in electrical systems, but they serve different purposes. Understanding their differences helps ensure complete circuit protection.

    Mini Circuit Breaker (MCB):

    • Protects against overload and short circuit conditions.
    • Automatically trips when current exceeds the rated limit.
    • Used in residential, commercial, and industrial distribution systems.
    • Does NOT detect leakage current or electric shock risks.

    RCD / RCCB (Residual Current Device / Residual Current Circuit Breaker):

    • Protects against earth leakage and electric shock.
    • Detects imbalance between live and neutral currents.
    • Trips when leakage current exceeds a safe threshold (e.g., 30mA).
    • Does NOT provide overload or short circuit protection.

    Key Differences:

    • Protection Type: MCB protects equipment; RCD/RCCB protects people.
    • Function: MCB handles overcurrent; RCD/RCCB detects leakage current.
    • Usage: Often used together for complete protection.
    • Safety Level: Combining both devices ensures both electrical and personal safety.

    Why Choose Pugao's(Plannter) Miniature Circuit Breakers?

    Our MCB products can provide overload and short circuit protection, high safety, and can reduce the risk of fire. Moreover, when protection is needed, it responds quickly and can trip almost instantly, reducing damage to the lines and connected equipment. It can also be easily reset afterwards. The circuit condition can be identified by the status indicated on the switch, making it very convenient to use.

    Our miniature circuit breakers are compact in size and can be installed at high density in user units and distribution boxes, making space utilization very efficient. They can also be coordinated so that only the circuit breaker closest to the fault trips without affecting other equipment.

  • Voltage Protector

    Voltage protectors, also can be called surge protectors or voltage stabilizers, are another electrical device that Pugao(Plannter) offers, in addition to MCBs and changeover switches. They protect electronic devices from unexpected voltage fluctuations, that is what we called surges or spikes, ensuring a more stable power supply.


    Key Features

    Pugao(Plannter) uses advanced technology to design and manufacture voltage protectors. These devices have a wide input voltage range, offering protection from 90-280V, making them highly adaptable to various power grids. When a surge current occurs, the protector can withstand 40kV, avoid the occurrence of large peaks, and respond to abnormal voltage in less than 1 nanosecond.

    On our products, you can see clear indicator lights to prompt power on, protection activation and wiring fault warning, which is very convenient in use. The housing is made of flame-retardant material for enhanced safety.


    Key Functions

    Over/Under Voltage Protection:

    • The Voltage Protector continuously monitors the supply voltage in real time.
    • Automatically disconnects the circuit when voltage exceeds or drops below preset limits.
    • Prevents damage to appliances caused by unstable power supply.

    Time Delay Function:

    • Built-in delay feature avoids frequent switching during voltage fluctuations.
    • Allows safe reconnection after power stabilizes, protecting compressors and sensitive equipment.
    • Delay time can be adjusted based on application needs.

    Adjustable Settings:

    • The Voltage Protector supports adjustable overvoltage, undervoltage, and current parameters.

    Indicator Lights:

    • Equipped with LED indicators to show working status clearly.
    • Displays conditions such as normal operation, fault, and protection mode.
    • Helps users quickly identify system status and troubleshoot issues.

    Installation and Maintenance

    Before installation, the first thing to consider is the installation location. To provide whole-house protection, Pugao(Plannter) recommends installing the main voltage protector at the main distribution board. For point protection, plug the voltage protector directly into a wall outlet, and make sure it's not daisy-chained with another power strip or extension cord.

    After installation, it can protect electrical appliances. All available sockets can be used, but the maximum load capacity of the equipment must not be exceeded. Sensitive and expensive electronic equipment can be given priority, especially some audio equipment and medical equipment.

    During the entire use process, the voltage protector basically does not require any maintenance. The key operation you can pay attention to is to regularly check the status indicator light. There are no user-serviceable parts inside, and they have a limited lifespan, with performance degrading with each surge they absorb. Therefore, even if there are no obvious faults, they will eventually need to be replaced after extended use. This is a natural phenomenon of use.
