Circuit breaker casings come in a variety of sizes, which are typically measured in inches or millimeters. Here are some common sizes for circuit breaker casings:
Standard sizes:
- 1-pole: 1.5" x 4.5" (38 mm x 114 mm)
- 2-pole: 2" x 4.5" (51 mm x 114 mm)
- 3-pole: 2.5" x 4.5" (64 mm x 114 mm)
- 4-pole: 3" x 4.5" (76 mm x 114 mm)
Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs):
- 1-pole: 1.25" x 3.5" (32 mm x 89 mm)
- 2-pole: 1.5" x 3.5" (38 mm x 89 mm)
- 3-pole: 1.75" x 3.5" (44 mm x 89 mm)
Molded case circuit breakers (MCCBs):
- 1-pole: 2.5" x 6" (64 mm x 152 mm)
