ABB India Launches New Range of Circuit Breakers; Eyes India’s $250 Mn Electrical Retail Market

Global technology company ABB India has launched Formula DIN-Rail, a complete range of Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) and Isolators for the electrical retail market which is estimated to be worth USD 250 million in India.

The complete Formula DIN range of circuit breakers have been designed and developed by the company under ‘Make in India’ program for all types of residential and commercial buildings. 

The company also claimed that the ABB Formula DIN-Rail portfolio with its contemporary design, will provide optimum protection to electrical circuits from possible damages caused by overload, short circuits, and earth leakages in buildings.

Further, the MCBs will be available with a 7-year warranty, which is a first in the Indian electrical market. Moreover, this ISI approved range meets international standards and has been manufactured in the company’s Smart Buildings factory located in Bengaluru, with a production capacity of 12 million pole of MCBs per year.

Commenting on the development, CP Vyas, President- Electrification business, ABB India Ltd, said that “our range of protection devices is designed to significantly improve electrical performance of both residential and commercial units, creating safe, sustainable homes and buildings for the future.”

The entire range of MCBs, RCCBs and Isolators will be available through the ABB Electrification business retail network across India as well as on ABB eMart, the company’s online marketplace. The portfolio comes with a lowest watt loss and space for better air circulation, as well as clear ON/OFF indications printed on all the products for ease of use.

The SW200 M MCBs, which are part of this range, perform the most crucial tasks of preventing an overload on the electrical circuit by tripping before the cable is damaged.

The FW200 RCCBs in this range ensure safety of people and installations from earth leakage current, in a systematic and calculated way.

Furthermore, the SDW200 Isolators, which are part of the ABB SW range, provide safety and comfort by separating a part of the system for conducting secure maintenance activity.
