power range
The Clipsal Power Range has
arrived, and with it comes every-
thing you need for your residential,
commercial or industrial switch-
board requirements.
Included are MCBs, RCDs,
MCB/RCD combinations, isolating
switches, changeover switches and
busbar systems.
A huge variety of accessories
are also available to complement
the range, including auxiliary
contacts, shunt trip and voltage
protection devices, push-buttons,
audio and visual signalling devices,
timers, relays, contactors, counters
and transformers.
UR SWITCHBOARD REQUIREMENTS
The Power Range MCB is an all Clipsal Power Range MCBs include Thermal operation occurs when the
new high performance current two types of operation: bi-metal strip (1), is heated by the
limiting device with the ability to overload current and deflected. This
disconnect short circuits up to 10kA trips the tripping lever (2) which,
(1 module) and 25kA (1 module). 1 Thermal for normal overload with its spring action (3), causes the
contacts (4) to open.
2 Magnetic for short circuit
protection
Magnetic tripping is achieved by
utilising the solenoid (5) which
causes the armature (6) in conjunc-
tion with the mechanical action of
the spring (3) to open the MCBs
contacts.

Clipsal MCBs have magnetic

The high level of protection
offered by residual current devices
is well documented and they are
now mandatory in every new home.
Checking installations
and appliances before
installation
It is important to check the
installation thoroughly to ensure
that there is no inherent leakage or
other problems in the installation
which will cause commissioning
problems or other tripping.
18 Any leakage greater than 5mA will
need to be located and eliminated.

Illuminance E l x (Lux) The Power Factor is usually taken as 0.8 (as an all-round
Luminance L cd/m 2 figure) but this varies with the speed and size of the motor.
Luminous Flux lm (Lumen) The efficiency varies from 85% in small motors to 90% and
over for large motors.
