How to Choose A Smart Circuit Breaker?

  A smart circuit breaker is an electronic device that operates a circuit breaker by remote control to turn on and off, monitor and collect the usage status of circuits and load devices. We also call it an Internet of Things circuit breaker or remote control circuit breaker.

It can be remotely controlled using a variety of protocols, such as RS485, RJ45 (network port), WiFi, LoRawan, Bluetooth, 4G/5G and other protocols. Configuring a smart home circuit breaker can remotely control and collect some data in the device circuit, allowing us to use the device in a more reasonable combination.

Smart circuit breaker advantages

Some smart home circuit breakers integrate the functions of a variety of circuit protectors and are smaller and smarter.

A common smart circuit breaker, in addition to the basic functions of non-smart circuit breakers, also has short-circuit protection, overload protection and leakage protection.

It also combines over-undervoltage protection, temperature over-undervoltage protection, over-power or under-power protection, and we can set the status of each function to turn off protection, turn on protection, or set alarms.

Use mobile APP or computer terminal to adjust various values remotely, such as adjustment of rated current value, adjustment of rated leakage protection decoupling value, over-voltage or under-voltage percentage value, temperature protection VALUE or other values, so that users can go according to their own usage.

It can also monitor and record the power consumption of load-side appliances in real time, hourly, daily and monthly power consumption statistics, and set the time to control the load appliances according to the user's own situation.

How does the smart circuit breaker work?

The function principle of intelligent circuit breaker can be divided into electromagnetic part and electronic part.

The electromagnetic part is the same as the traditional circuit breaker. If there is an overload or short circuit fault in the circuit, just like a traditional circuit breaker, the overload protection is through the heat conduction of the bimetal to a certain value, and then the breaker trips to protect the overload. Short-circuit protection is protected by the coil part of the circuit breaker for quick tripping.

The electronic section is one or more complex circuit boards, consisting of a combination of various control and communication modules.

Signals are input from a remote control terminal, such as a cell phone application or computer, and the electronic part of the circuit board receives command information. The electronic part can collect and record the required data and information, and send it back to the remote terminal.

The user can perform real-time remote control, adjust the values, set the time and set the schedule based on these information parameters. It does not have to be like a traditional circuit breaker. You have to operate the breaker in the field and need various electrical devices to collect fault information.
