The Schneider CVS400F 3P 400A is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the CVS series, designed for overload and short-circuit protection in high-power, three-phase electrical systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Current Rating: 400A
Frame Size: CVS400F (denotes the frame size and current rating of the breaker)
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal-Magnetic Protection: The breaker provides thermal protection (for overload conditions) and magnetic protection (for short-circuit conditions).
Fixed Thermal and Magnetic Protection: The breaker is pre-configured with fixed protection settings for thermal overload and short circuit, making it suitable for standard applications where adjustment is not necessary.
Magnetic Trip: The breaker disconnects instantly when a short circuit is detected, preventing further damage to the electrical system.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 50 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Disconnects the circuit if the current exceeds the rated value for a prolonged period, preventing overheating and damage to electrical wiring and equipment.
Short-Circuit Protection: Provides instantaneous disconnection when a short circuit is detected, preventing catastrophic failure of electrical components.
Manual Reset: After the breaker trips due to an overload or short circuit, it can be manually reset once the fault condition is resolved.
