Final Distribution Products

Safer homes are now affordable with Himel Final Distribution products

Electricity is one of the most important resources needed for modern life. Still, it poses potential risk with non-compliant and unsafe electrical distribution products. Example, short circuits or overload can lead to problems like fire, injury, or destruction of appliances.

To ensure safety in your home start with the final distribution point, from utility supply to your home. You can rely on devices like a final distribution panel building fuse to protect your home against electrical hazards. Such devices achieve safety through actions like breaking the flow of current during oversupply. Himel manufactures a wide range of trusted products like final distribution residential fuse panels for this purpose. You get affordable devices with a range of uses that will secure your household.

Let’s delve into the options.

Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)

A Movable Circuit Breaker (MCB) is an electrical device that senses the overcurrent resulting from a short circuit. It has two contacts, one movable and the other fixed. When there is an increase in current, there is a separation between the fixed and movable contacts. This opens the circuit and disconnects it from the main. Himel offers an assortment of MCBs that will fit well in your final distribution system.

Residual Current Circuit Breaker (RCCB)

A Residual-Current Circuit Breaker is also known as an RCB or RCD. Once it detects a current leak to the earth wire, this device disconnects the circuit. Thus, it is an electrical wiring device that prevents electrocution from direct contact.

Residual Current Device (RCBO)

A Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent (RCBO) works like an MCB and RCCB combined. Thus, it can protect your home from the impact of a short circuit and overload. Whenever a current leakage occurs, an RCBO shuts off electrical flow in the entire circuit.

Busbars

Busbars are an affordable way for final distribution residential use. You can find them inside panel boards, busways, and switchgear. Instead of branching the main supply at a point, busbars facilitate branching off new circuits.

A busbar system consists of a circuit breaker and an isolator. The circuit breaker cuts off electrical flow in case of a surge, disconnecting the busbar from the circuit.

Switch Disconnectors

You can think of a switch disconnector as a switch with a disconnector function. Ideally, switch disconnectors are manual, and the handle shows the position of the main contacts. Thus, you can consider this an emergency-off device.

It is best to place it in an easily visible area for easy identification. The Himel switch disconnector has red handles to help with this.

Surge Protective Devices

With a surge protective device, you get two functions. You can plug multiple components into one power outlet and protect your devices from damage. When there is an electrical surge, a surge protective device diverts the extra current into the outlet’s grounding wire.

Consider your needs when choosing a device for your system. Different devices offer different perks. For example, an MCB doesn't protect you from an earth fault. However, you get earth fault protection with an RCD/RCCB.

Alternatively, MCBs have four, three, two, and single-pole options. However, RCD does not have the single-pole option.
