The Schneider CVS 3P 100F 50mA is a 3-pole circuit breaker from the CVS series, designed to provide overload protection, short-circuit protection, and earth leakage protection in three-phase electrical systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) with Residual Current Protection
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Current Rating: 100A
Residual Current Rating: 50mA (for earth leakage protection)
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal Protection: Disconnects the circuit during overload conditions, preventing overheating and damage to electrical equipment.
Magnetic Protection: Provides instantaneous protection in case of short circuits, rapidly disconnecting the circuit to avoid damage from high fault currents.
Residual Current Protection (RCD): Trips when the leakage current exceeds the 50mA threshold, offering protection against electric shock hazards caused by earth leakage currents.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 36 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Disconnects the circuit during prolonged overload conditions, preventing overheating and potential damage to wiring and devices.
Short-Circuit Protection: Instantly disconnects the circuit during short circuits, safeguarding equipment and wiring from high fault currents.
Earth Leakage Protection: Disconnects the circuit if earth leakage exceeds 50mA, ensuring the safety of individuals in the event of leakage currents and preventing electrical shock.
Manual Reset: The breaker can be manually reset after a trip, once the fault condition has been resolved.
Compliance: Complies with IEC 60947-2 for low-voltage circuit protection and IEC 61008 for residual current devices.
