Molded Case Circuit Breaker - MCCB

DZ20Y-100-3300 Molded-Case-Circuit-Breake MCCB

DZ20Y MCCB Molded-Case-Circuit-Breaker 100A-1600A

DZ20Y series molded case circuit breakers (MCCB) are industrial-grade protection devices designed for AC 50Hz power distribution systems with rated operational voltage up to 380V (Ui=660V) and rated current ranging from 100A to 1250A. They provide reliable protection against overload, short-circuit, and under-voltage for distribution lines and power equipment, and can also be used for infrequent circuit switching and motor starting under normal operating conditions.

Compared with DZ15 series (small current, economical type for civil use), DZ20Y features higher short-circuit breaking capacity (Icu=30~40kA), wider current range, support for 3P/4P pole configuration, and compatibility with various accessories (auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, undervoltage release, etc.). The series complies with GB/T 14048.2, JB/T 8589 and IEC 60947-2 standards, with optional white cover or transparent cover versions to meet different application requirements.

2. Core Advantages

• Wide rated current range: 100A ~ 1250A (divided into 100/225/400/630/1250 frame sizes)

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: Icu=30~40kA, suitable for industrial high-current scenarios

• Support 3P/4P pole configuration, compatible with three-phase four-wire power supply system

• Optional transparent cover (visual internal structure) or white cover (better dustproof performance)

• Complete accessory compatibility: auxiliary contact, alarm contact, undervoltage release, electric operating mechanism

• Long mechanical/electrical life: mechanical life up to 10,000 times, electrical life up to 2,000 times

• Wide operating temperature range: -5℃ ~ +40℃, suitable for various industrial environments

3. Application Scenarios

  • Main incoming/outgoing lines of industrial plant power distribution cabinets
  • Protection of medium and large power motor circuits (≤630A)
  • Power distribution systems of high-rise buildings, commercial complexes
  • Power supply circuits of large-scale industrial equipment and production lines
  • Three-phase four-wire power distribution systems requiring 4P protection
  • Backup power supply systems and generator sets

4. Model Interpretation

Example: DZ20Y-400/3310

• DZ: Molded case circuit breaker

• 20: Design serial number

• Y: General type (standard breaking capacity)

Installation Instructions and Selection Guide

7. Installation Instructions

• DZ20Y series supports front connection and rear connection two installation methods, please select according to the actual cabinet design.

• For models with rated current ≥400A, copper bar connection is recommended to ensure good electrical conductivity and heat dissipation.

• The installation hole size must match the Φd parameter in the dimension table to avoid installation instability.

• Ensure the ambient temperature is within -5℃ ~ +40℃ during installation, and avoid direct sunlight or high humidity environments.

• After installation, check the flexibility of the operating handle and the reliability of the wiring before power-on.
