 The Frater MCB protects wires and cables automatically
against overload and short-circuits in domestic, commercial
and industrial installations.
In systems where proper earthing is provided the MCB
provides additional protection by instantaneous interruption of
the fault current, in case of faults, thereby eliminating the
possibility of excessive touch voltages.
Range : The Frater 6KA MCBis available in a comprehensive
range from 0.5 to 100A in 1,2,3 & 4 pole versions.
I-ON
Standards : This range of MCB's conforms to the latest
National and International standards - IEC60898.

Modular Design: The MCBs are most compact with

mounting depths up to 55mm and widths in multiples of
18mm and are part of the modular N system. They are hence
totally compatible in modular width size to our range of
RCCBs and can be enclosed in our low-profile DBs. Frater
MCBs have contact tips made of special silver alloys ensuring
higher life and maximum safely against contact welding.
These contacts have low contact resistance resulting in
reduced voltage drop and a very low watt loss leading to
energy savings.

HOUSING:
The housing of FRATER MCB is injection moulded from special grade PBT as per international specifications.
The housing and other moulded components are fire retardant, anti-tracking and non hygroscopic.
The housing can with stand high temperature and is impact resistant.

CONTACTS: Contacts are made of special silver inlaid into copper strip, ensuring higher life and maximum safety
against contact welding and erosion. These contacts have low contact resistance resulting in reduced watt loss.

CURRENT LIMITING ACTION: The high speed current limiting action ensures that the MCB operate
before the full prospective fault current is allowed to develop. Under fault conditions, damage can be sustained
to the installation and as sociated equipment due to the amount of energy that passes before the current is
completely interrupted. The total energy Let through depends on th e value of current and the time for which it
flows, and is denoted by the symbol I 2t. The high speed current limiting action of FRATER MCB ensures that
the energy let through and any subsequent damage is minimized. This reduced LET TH ROUGH ENERGY
(Class 3 as per BS EN 60898) assists greatly with both back-up and discrimination considerations.

OPERATING MECHANISM: FRATER MCB have a quick make & break Tri p Free Mechanism. In the even t MID-TRIP POSITION: The Mid-Trip

Dimension (in mm) Introduction
From large buildings to private homes, from
industries to hospitals, electricity is essential. The
extensive use of electricity in our daily life has
become so common that we tend to forget that
careless use of electricity can be hazardous. Every
year, a large number of people are victims of
accidents caused by negligent use of electricity, and
a large number of industrial & domestic fires are
attributed to "electrical faults".
FRATER has introduced state-of-the-art FRATER
RCCB model FI7 made in Europe, which is capable
of detecting earth leakage current as soon as they
appear and isolate the supply system.

2 Pole Operational Principle

FRATER RCCB is a current operated device and
T is independent of line voltage conditions. This means
that they provide protection even when there is voltage
dip or the neutral conductor is interrupted. In a healthy
system the vector sum of all currrents in phase and
Load neutral is equal to zero. The device senses inbalance or
Earth residual currents in the system and disconnects supply
system.
