At this point, is it better to choose a smart Electronic Circuit Breaker or a conventional circuit breaker?

According to Global Info Research, the global Electronic Circuit Breaker revenue is approximately $8017.1 million in 2020 and is expected to reach $9524.8 million in 2026, with a CAGR of 4.4% from 2021 to 2026.

As a common device for controlling power distribution, circuit breakers are indispensable in almost all areas of power consumption. Most of the circuit breakers commonly used in our daily life use thermal bimetal strips and coils to realize the opening and closing of power lines. Most of them are thermal magnetic circuit breakers, which are one of the most important protection and control components in low-voltage electrical equipment.It is equipped with various protective functions. When the line is working normally, it can be used as a circuit breaker to connect or disconnect the circuit; when there is a fault in the circuit, such as a short circuit, overload or leakage, it can automatically trip and break the faulty circuit, protecting the line and electrical equipment.

With the advent of the intelligent power grid, the requirements for the supporting power system technology are increasing, and the low-voltage circuit breaker is an important part of the power distribution network. However, the traditional circuit breaker is mainly realized by the effect of the thermal double metal and magnet system. It is increasingly difficult to meet the reliability, accuracy and safety requirements of the power Distribution System, and it is impossible to realize communication networking.The function of conventional circuit breakers is too one-sided and can only provide a certain level of short-Circuit Protection, overload protection, and leakage protection. Moreover, these three functions are passively tripped, which is not sufficient to ensure the safety of people and property.

For example, when a short circuit occurs, the circuit has already caught fire and is burning before the short circuit occurs. Leakage protection is also too slow, so the circuit continues to run unimpeded even after a power surge. On the other hand, functions such as data acquisition, transmission and remote control cannot be realized, and it does not meet the requirements of multi-scenario applications. The intelligent circuit breaker can not only improve the reliability of the distribution network, but also make the distribution network safer and more accurate.

At the same time, it can also query the operating parameters of the power grid in real time. When the power grid fails, it can quickly interrogate and repair the fault. For example, svlec electronic circuit breaker and intelligent power distribution board can monitor the power and fully control the system status. The distribution board provides fault protection for system components and switching power supplies. It has intelligent shutdown, early warning, remote reset and single-channel management functions. This ensures the maximum operating range of the system.At the same time, the intelligent circuit breaker is smaller, easier to install and saves space. The modular function can meet users' application needs in different scenarios, and installation is also easier. In addition, intelligent circuit breaker is also safer.

Compared with traditional circuit breakers, intelligent circuit breakers are made of better materials, high-strength pressure and flame-retardant materials, and the perfect combination of electronic technology and mechanization. Compared with traditional circuit breakers, they have higher breaking capacity and continuous stability. Protect the safety of household electricity. Real-time monitoring of current, voltage, temperature, power, overcurrent, leakage, overvoltage, undervoltage, overload, overtemperature, ignition, short circuit and other faults, push alarm or trip pre-treatment in advance, effectively protect the safety of household power.
