Chint NM1-125S/3300-63A Molded Case Circuit Breaker

The Chint NM1-125S/3300-63A Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) is a high-performance power distribution protection device in the NM1 series of Chint Group (CHNT). It is suitable for power distribution systems with an AC frequency of 50Hz and a rated operating voltage up to 690V, and is mainly used for overload, short-circuit, and under-voltage protection. The following is a detailed analysis based on Chint’s official data and industry standards:

1. Parâmetros principais e características técnicas
2. Parâmetros Básicos

Corrente nominal (Em): 63UM, suitable for the load requirements of the circuit.

Quadro atual (Inm): 125UM, indicating the maximum current-carrying capacity of the circuit breaker.

Quebrando Capacidade:

Capacidade nominal máxima de interrupção de curto-circuito (UTI): 35o (at 400V), meeting the safety requirements of medium and high-risk power distribution scenarios.

Rated Service Short-Circuit Breaking Capacity (CIs): 18o, ensuring the circuit breaker can operate reliably after multiple faults.

Número do pólo: 3 postes (o primeiro “3” em 3300), applicable to three-phase four-wire or three-phase three-wire systems.

Características de disparo:

Thermomagnetic Release (o segundo “3” em 3300), with both overload long-time delay (tempo inverso) and short-circuit instantaneous protection functions.

Inverse Time Operation Characteristics: The conventional non-tripping current is 1.05In (no tripping within 2 horas), the conventional tripping current is 1.30In (tropeçando dentro 2 horas), and the instantaneous operation is set to 10In±20%.

2. Desempenho Elétrico

Tensão nominal de isolamento (Ui): 800V, supporting the compatibility of high-voltage level systems.

Conformidade com Padrões: GB/T 14048.2 (equivalent to IEC 60947-2), and has obtained certifications such as CCC, ENVIAR, and CE, ensuring international versatility and reliability.

3. Projeto Estrutural

Método de instalação: Suporta instalação vertical ou horizontal, flexibly adapting to different cabinet layouts.

Método de fiação: Front-panel wiring (standard configuration); some upgraded models offer plug-in design (por exemplo, NM1-125S/3300 63A G).

Arc Flash Distance: ≤50mm, reducing the risk of damage to surrounding equipment caused by fault arcs.

1. Cenários de aplicativos e configurações típicas
2. Application Fields

Industrial Power Distribution: Power protection for power equipment such as machine tools and production lines.

Edifícios Comerciais: Control of distribution boxes and branch circuits in office buildings and shopping malls.

Residential and Small-Scale Infrastructure: Overload protection for indoor main incoming lines or high-power electrical appliances (por exemplo, condicionadores de ar, aquecedores elétricos de água).

2. Expansão de acessórios

Auxiliary Functions: Can be equipped with a shunt release (for remote circuit breaking), an under-voltage release (for automatic disconnection when voltage is abnormal), or an alarm contact (for fault status signal output) to meet the needs of intelligent control.

Compatibilidade de instalação: Accessory modules are universal with other models in the NM1 series, facilitating later function upgrades.

III. Usage and Maintenance Recommendations

1. Installation Specifications

Requisitos Ambientais: Ambient air temperature ranges from -5℃ to +40℃, altitude ≤2000m, and strong magnetic field interference should be avoided.

Wiring Requirements: Tighten terminal bolts to the specified torque (refer to the manual) to ensure reliable contact and prevent overheating.

2. Operation and Maintenance Key Points

Inspeção Regular: Clean the dust on the housing every six months, check the wear of contacts, and replace them if necessary.

,Fault Troubleshooting: Se ocorrerem disparos frequentes, it is necessary to check whether the load exceeds the limit, whether the line is short-circuited, or whether the setting value of the release is reasonable.

3. Replacement and Upgrade

New Model Replacement: Since 2021, Chint has launched upgraded platform-type products (models with suffix “G”), such as NM1-125S/3300 63A G. The breaking capacity is increased to 50kA, and the installation dimensions are compatible with the old models, enabling seamless replacement.

1. Key Considerations for Selection
2. Matching of Breaking Capacity: Select the corresponding breaking level (por exemplo, Type S: 35o, Type H: 50o) according to the short-circuit current level to avoid equipment damage due to insufficient selection.
3. Adaptation of Tripping Curve: For power distribution scenarios, Tipo C (5-10 times In instantaneous tripping) is preferred; for motor protection, Tipo D (10-14 times In) é necessário.
4. Certification Compliance: For domestic projects, CCC certification must be confirmed; for export projects, attention should be paid to the standards of the target market (por exemplo, CE, NOM).
