Modular circuit solutions for electrification

A new range of modular DIN rail components (MDRC) from Mitsubishi Electric aims to address demand for high-performance protection and control solutions designed for final circuit power distribution in both the Irish and broader EMEA markets. 

Mitsubishi Electric’s MDRC series includes both control and protective devices, making them ideal for clients in the infrastructure sectors. The new high-performance cost-effective range includes modular contactors, Arc Fault Detection Devices (AFDDs), Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Residual Current Devices (RCDs), Surge Protection Devices (SPDs), and Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) with overcurrent protection (RCBOs).

Designed to deliver high specifications and performance for a wide range of applications, the Mitsubishi Electric MDRC range is characterised by ultimate breaking capacities (Icu) that span from 15kA to 25kA. The standard range of MCB are available in an 18mm module format with Icu of 15kA and rated from 0.5A up to 63A in standardised B, C and D curves.

Mitsubishi Electric has also components with higher Icu ranges in the MCB-T range from 0.5 to 40A up to 25kA in an 18mm module format and the HMCB range from 20 to 125A in a 27mm module format with Icu from 10 up to 25kA. The Icu of 15kA on their standard MCB and RCBO ranges ensures the ability of the final circuit to manage the prospective short circuit currents for the majority of commercial and industrial sub-distribution applications.

The MDRCs are suitable to support building electrification projects.
