Circuit breaker list
Here is a list of common circuit breakers:
Residential Circuit Breakers:
- 15-Amp: For small appliances, lamps, and outlets.
- 20-Amp: For most household appliances, such as refrigerators, washing machines, and dryers.
- 30-Amp: For heavy-duty appliances, such as electric ranges, water heaters, and air conditioners.
- 40-Amp: For high-power appliances, such as electric furnaces and electric water heaters.
- 50-Amp: For heavy-duty appliances, such as electric ranges and dryers.
Commercial Circuit Breakers:
- 60-Amp: For commercial lighting and small appliances.
- 100-Amp: For commercial refrigeration, air conditioning, and heating systems.
- 150-Amp: For heavy-duty commercial applications, such as manufacturing and industrial processes.
- 200-Amp: For large commercial buildings, such as office buildings and shopping centers.
- 300-Amp: For very large commercial applications, such as hospitals and data centers.
Industrial Circuit Breakers:
- 400-Amp: For heavy-duty industrial applications, such as manufacturing and processing plants.
- 600-Amp: For very large industrial applications, such as power generation and transmission facilities.
- 800-Amp: For extremely large industrial applications, such as large-scale manufacturing and processing facilities.
- 1000-Amp: For very large industrial applications, such as power generation and transmission facilities.
Specialty Circuit Breakers:
- Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI): For protecting against ground faults and electrical shock.
- Arc Fault Circuit Interrupter (AFCI): For protecting against arc faults and electrical fires.
- Instantaneous Trip Circuit Breaker: For protecting against overcurrent and short circuits.
- Time-Delay Trip Circuit Breaker: For protecting against overcurrent and short circuits, with a delay to prevent false tripping.
- Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB): For protecting against overcurrent and short circuits, with a compact and rugged design.
Note: The specific types and ratings of circuit breakers may vary depending on the country, region, and application. It's always best to consult with a licensed electrician or electrical engineer for specific requirements.
