This type of mechanism requires some form of prestored energy which can be released when required to cause the mechanism linkages to operate to close the circuit-breaker. Once the circuit-breaker has been closed and the stored energy dissipated, the mechanism must hold the circuit-breaker in the closed position by virtue of its
In most situations, miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) may be used as an alternative to fuses where the fault rating of the MCB is sufficiently high. However, because of the different shape of the MCB tripping characteristic compared with that of a fuse (see Fig. 4.5.1), it is not advisable to mix fuses with MCBs in the same circuit if discrimination is required.
