ABB circuit protection available from LED Controls
ABB circuit protection products are designed to safeguard electrical systems, equipment and people across a wide range of industrial and commercial applications. LED Controls supplies ABB Circuit Protection components from compact DIN-rail devices through to high-capacity circuit breakers, offering reliable protection against overloads, short circuits, earth faults and system disturbances.
ABB miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) from LED Controls
ABB miniature circuit breakers from LED Controls are used to protect final circuits, control panels and distribution boards from overload and short-circuit conditions. They are typically installed on DIN rail and are ideal for low-voltage applications up to around 125 A. MCBs operate automatically when a fault is detected, interrupting the current to prevent damage to cables and connected equipment.
ABB moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) from LED Controls
ABB moulded case circuit breakers from LED Controls are designed for higher-current applications, offering protection for feeders, sub-distribution systems and larger electrical loads. Compared to MCBs, MCCBs can handle significantly higher current levels and often include adjustable trip settings.
ABB residual current devices (RCDs) from LED Controls
ABB RCDs from LED Controls are designed to detect earth leakage currents and disconnect the supply quickly to protect against electric shock and fire risks. Unlike MCBs and MCCBs, RCDs do not provide overload protection, instead focusing specifically on leakage detection. They monitor the balance between live and neutral currents and trip when an imbalance is detected. Read more about RCDs on our blog here.
ABB RCBOs (Residual Current Circuit Breakers with Overcurrent Protection) from LED Controls
ABB RCBOs, available from LED Controls, combine the functions of an MCB and an RCD in a single device, providing both overcurrent and earth leakage protection. This makes them a compact and efficient solution where space is limited or where individual circuit protection is required. By combining both protection types, RCBOs simplify panel design and reduce the number of devices required.
Choosing the right ABB circuit protection from LED Controls
Selecting the correct protection device depends on the type of fault you need to protect against, as well as the size and complexity of your system. These devices can be used together to provide complete protection coverage.
| Product type | Primary function | Typical use | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) | Overload and short-circuit protection | Final circuits and small loads | Panels, OEM machines and distribution boards |
