About Merlin Gerin Air Circuit Breaker
Air Circuit Breaker or ACB is a specially designed electronic device that can function in air in the form of an arc extinguishing medium at a set atmospheric pressure. These circuit breakers that can deliver overcurrent & short-circuit protection mostly find use in low voltage applications (below 450V). Our Air Circuit Breaker based on sophisticated technology are easy to install and deliver reliable performance as compared to the oil circuit breakers. These ACBs we offer come with adjustable trip characteristics.Versatile Protection for Industrial NeedsMerlin Gerin Air Circuit Breakers are engineered for comprehensive protection against overloads, short-circuits, and as disconnecting switches. The optional digital display and communication interface allow seamless monitoring and integration into modern control systems, supporting dynamic operations in various industrial setups.
