Description of Molded Case Circuit Breaker Tester

Molded Case Circuit Breaker Tester with four current-source outputs(5 A @ 120 VAC, 25 A @ 24 VAC, 120 A @ 6 VAC, 250 A @ 3 VAC)

The MCCB-250 is a programmable, high-current source designed specifically for testing molded-case circuit breakers as well as thermal, mag­netic, or solid-state overload motor-protection relays.

Built-in Timer

The MCCB-250’s built-in timer can test the time-delay characteristics of protection relays and molded-case circuit breakers. Once the test is initiated, the current source and the timer are automatically turned on at the next zero-crossing point of the AC. The timer stops when the MCCB-250 input detects a change in the dry contact or voltage input, or detects the removal of the test current. The test results are then displayed in mil­liseconds and fractions of cycle(s) on the unit’s back-lit LCD screen (20 characters by 4 lines).

Current Source

The MCCB-250 has 4 current-source outputs (5 A @ 120 Vac, 25 A @ 24 Vac, 120 A @ 6 Vac, 250 A @ 3 Vac) that conduct the test current through the high-impedance load circuits. Each current source can tolerate short duration over-loads (see table below). This feature is used for testing the instantaneous trip element of mold­ed-case circuit breakers. When using this feature, the selected test current is displayed on the LCD screen. When the MCCB-250 is used as a current source, the current-flow time (the current-on period) is displayed on the LCD screen.

External Current Input

The MCCB-250 also provides an external current input (0 – 10 A). Both internal and external current source readings can be viewed at the same time.
