- Fehlerbehebung
| Fehlerphänomen | Mögliche Ursachen | Methoden zur Fehlerbehebung |
| Frequent Tripping | Overload, line grounding/short-circuit, mismatched tripping curve | Check load current and insulation resistance; replace MCB with a matching tripping curve |
| Failure to Close | Unreset tripping mechanism, line short-circuit, contact ablation | Manually reset the trip lever, locate the short-circuit point, replace damaged contacts |
| Excessive Temperature Rise | Lose Verkabelung, contact oxidation, high ambient temperature | Tighten wiring terminals, polish contacts, improve ventilation and heat dissipation |
| Insufficient Breaking Capacity | Lack of front-end protection, excessive short-circuit current in the line | Upgrade front-end protection, select MCB with higher breaking capacity |
