Circuit Breaker Box Subassembly

A Circuit Breaker Box Subassembly is a component that is part of the supply class Circuit Breakers in the supply group Electrical And Electronic Equipment Components.

A circuit breaker box subassembly is a collection of circuit breakers housed in a single enclosure. It is used to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. The subassembly typically includes multiple circuit breakers of different ratings, allowing for the protection of various circuits with different power requirements.

The circuit breaker box subassembly is designed to be installed in electrical distribution systems, such as residential or commercial buildings, to provide a centralized location for circuit protection. It is commonly used in electrical panels or distribution boards.

The main function of the circuit breaker box subassembly is to detect and interrupt excessive current flow in a circuit, thereby preventing damage to the electrical equipment and minimizing the risk of electrical fires. When an overload or short circuit occurs, the circuit breaker trips and interrupts the flow of electricity, effectively disconnecting the faulty circuit from the power supply.

In addition to circuit protection, some circuit breaker box subassemblies may also include other features such as surge protection, ground fault protection, or arc fault detection. These additional features enhance the safety and reliability of the electrical system.

Overall, the circuit breaker box subassembly is an essential component in electrical distribution systems, providing reliable circuit protection and helping to ensure the safe and efficient operation of electrical equipment.
