MCB - Miniature Circuit Breaker

MCCB - Molded Case Circuit Breaker

 

Miniature circuit breakers are designed in low KAIC and will interrupt only one line without installing a circuit breaker link. MCCB are designed for higher KAIC and will interrupt or cut all lines when it senses fault in any of the line due to the internal or built-in link.
