MCB and electrical protection
An MCB — a miniature circuit breaker — protects a circuit by tripping when it draws more current than it should, or when there is a short circuit. Unlike a fuse, it is reset rather than replaced. Vishal makes MCBs for the distribution boards used in homes, shops and small commercial spaces.
MCBs sit in the distribution board and protect each circuit in the installation.

Where MCBs are used
- Distribution boards in new home wiring.
- Separating lighting, socket and appliance circuits.
- Replacing an older fuse-based board.
- Adding a circuit when a shop or office is extended.
Choosing with your electrician
The right MCB for a circuit depends on the load it carries and the cable feeding it. That is a decision for the electrician doing the installation — your Vishal retailer can supply the options once the board is planned.
Fits with
An MCB is one part of the board. It works alongside the DB box it mounts into and the wire running to each circuit.
