The Schneider CVS 4P 320A is a 4-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the CVS series, designed to provide overload protection, short-circuit protection, and earth leakage protection (RCD) for three-phase electrical systems with neutral.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) with Residual Current Protection (RCD)
Number of Poles: 4P (4 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems with neutral
Current Rating: 320A
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal Protection: Disconnects the circuit in the event of overload conditions by detecting sustained overcurrents, preventing damage to electrical wiring and connected equipment.
Magnetic Protection: Provides instantaneous disconnection in case of short circuits, preventing catastrophic damage to circuits and equipment.
Residual Current Protection (RCD): Detects earth leakage currents and disconnects the circuit if leakage exceeds a predetermined threshold, ensuring safety from electric shock hazards.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 50 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Provides protection against sustained overcurrent conditions that could lead to overheating of equipment and wiring.
Short-Circuit Protection: Instantaneous disconnection during short circuits, ensuring the protection of electrical equipment from high fault currents.
Earth Leakage Protection: Disconnects the circuit when earth leakage exceeds the preset threshold, protecting personnel from electric shocks.
Manual Reset: The breaker can be manually reset once the fault condition has been cleared, restoring normal system operation.
Compliance: Complies with IEC 60947-2 (low-voltage circuit protection) and IEC 61008 (residual current devices), meeting international safety standards for electrical protection.
