Cost of 3 phase circuit breaker
The cost of a 3-phase circuit breaker can vary widely depending on several factors, including:
- Voltage rating: The voltage rating of the circuit breaker, which can range from 208V to 480V or higher.
- Current rating: The maximum current the circuit breaker can handle, which can range from a few amps to several hundred amps.
- Type: There are different types of 3-phase circuit breakers, including:
- Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs)
- Air circuit breakers (ACBs)
- Vacuum circuit breakers (VCBs)
- Sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) circuit breakers
- Arc-resistant circuit breakers
- Brand and quality: The cost of a circuit breaker can vary depending on the brand and quality of the product.
- Features: Some circuit breakers may have additional features such as:
- Trip-free mechanism
- Instantaneous trip
- Time-delay trip
- Ground fault protection
- Arc fault protection
