The core differences of CHINT circuit breakers lie in series positioning, breaking capacity, tripping characteristics, pole specifications, expansion functions, application scenarios, and price . Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) are mainly used for residential applications, while molded – case circuit breakers (MCCBs) and air circuit breakers (ACBs) are preferred for industrial purposes. Selection should match the load requirements and budget constraints.

- Differences in Key Technical Parameters (Frequently Asked by Customers)
- Auslöseeigenschaften
Type B: Tripping current of 3In–5In, suitable for sensitive electronic equipment such as computers and PLCs.
Typ C: Tripping current of 5In–10In, suitable for general loads like lighting and ordinary sockets (mainstream for residential use).
Typ D: Tripping current of 10In–20In, suitable for loads with high starting inrush current such as motors, Klimaanlagen, and compressors.
- Pole Selection
1P: Only disconnects the live wire (L), used for low – power branch circuits like lighting, with the lowest cost.
1P+N: Disconnects the live wire and monitors the neutral wire (N), cost – effective and suitable for ordinary sockets.
2P: Disconnects both the live wire and neutral wire simultaneously, highly safe, used for high – power household appliances such as air conditioners and water heaters.
3P/4P: Used for three – phase equipment (z.B., industrial motors and water pumps). 3P disconnects three – phase live wires, and 4P disconnects three – phase live wires plus the neutral wire.
- Bruchkapazität
– Breaking capacity determines whether a circuit can be reliably disconnected during a short – circuit. For residential use, a breaking capacity of over 6kA is recommended; for industrial and commercial applications, over 10kA is advisable to prevent arc faults.
- Quick Selection Guide (For Fast Customer Recommendations)
Regular residential use: NXB Series (10kA breaking capacity, full pole configurations, expandable with accessories, suitable for most residential decoration projects).
Budget – constrained: NBE7 (low price, with status indicators, suitable for small – current branch circuits).
Hoch – end residential decoration: NB6 (elegant appearance, complete specifications, suitable for smart homes and demanding customers).
Industrial power applications: Prioritize NXM molded – case circuit breakers or NA Series air circuit breakers, as their breaking capacity and accessories are better suited for heavy – duty loads.
VII. Core Differences from Competitors (ABB, Schneider)
Preis: CHINT’s products are 15%–30% cheaper than ABB and Schneider products of the same specifications, boasting a distinct cost – effectiveness advantage, which is suitable for budget – sensitive customers.
Accessory ecosystem: CHINT’s modular accessories (z.B., shunt trip and under – voltage trip) are more affordable and highly compatible, facilitating quotation combinations.
Breaking capacity: Low – to mid – range MCBs (z.B., DZ47) have a breaking capacity of 6kA, while the mainstream NXB Series reaches 10kA, which is on par with the mid – range series of international brands.
