ELCB Series Enhances Electrical Safety for Diverse Settings

The JCBSLM-80 Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker, offering robust protection with flexible configurations for homes, offices, and industrial sites, ensuring improved safety against electrical faults.

A new range of Earth Leakage Circuit Breakers (ELCBs) has been launched, designed to provide a higher standard of electrical safety for a wide array of environments. The JCBSLM-80 series promises to be a versatile solution for electricians and project managers overseeing installations in everything from residential houses to complex industrial buildings.

What sets this product apart is its comprehensive protective features. It guards against earth leakage, overloads, and short circuits, with a strong breaking capacity of 6,000 amps. Users can tailor the device to specific needs, selecting from a wide range of rated currents, starting as low as 6 amps and going up to 80 amps. This flexibility ensures the right level of protection for different circuit loads, whether for lighting, power outlets, or machinery.

A key consideration for modern electrical design is the type of equipment being used. Recognizing this, the series offers a choice between Type A and Type AC sensitivities. This is crucial because Type A can detect both smooth DC and pulsating residual currents, which are increasingly common with modern appliances like variable-speed drives and home electronics, whereas Type AC covers traditional alternating currents.

Installers will appreciate the practical design touches. The breaker allows for connection from either the top or bottom, simplifying wiring in tight distribution boards. The double handle provides clear, independent control for the miniature circuit breaker (MCB) and the residual-current device (RCD) functions, making it easy to see the status and perform reset or test operations.

The available product table highlights the extensive configurations. With options for 1P+N, 2-pole, 3P+N, and 4-pole versions across B, C, and D tripping curves, professionals can match the device precisely to the application’s requirements. The range of residual operating currents, from a highly sensitive 30mA for personal protection in homes to 500mA for fire prevention in commercial settings, adds another layer of customizable safety.

Compliance with international standards IEC 61009-1 and EN61009-1 provides assurance that the product meets rigorous safety and performance benchmarks. This new series essentially puts a toolbox of electrical protection into a single product line, aiming to reduce the risk of electric shock and fire, and offering peace of mind for those responsible for the safety of electrical installations in our homes, workplaces, and public buildings.
