The Schneider CVS 3P 100A is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the CVS series. Designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection, this breaker is ideal for low to medium current applications in three-phase electrical systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Current Rating: 100A
Frame Size: CVS (denotes the frame size for this model, providing the correct protection for circuits rated up to 100A)
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.
Adjustable Thermal Settings: The thermal protection can be adjusted to match the load characteristics of the application, allowing for flexibility in protecting against overloads.
Magnetic Trip: Provides instant disconnection when a short circuit is detected, ensuring the circuit is quickly cleared and preventing further damage.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 25 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, protecting the wiring and electrical components from overheating.
Short-Circuit Protection: Provides instantaneous tripping in the event of a short circuit, protecting the system and minimizing damage to electrical equipment.
Manual Reset: After tripping, the breaker can be manually reset once the fault is cleared, allowing the system to resume normal operation.
Compliance: Complies with IEC 60947-2 for low-voltage circuit protection.
