Chint NXB63-3P-D63 circuit breaker
Product description
The Chint NXB63-3P-D63 circuit breaker is a three-phase miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for high-load scenarios. It is suitable for circuits with an alternating current of 50/60Hz and a rated voltage of 400V AC, providing overload, short-circuit protection, and isolation functions. Below is an analysis of its core information:
*I. Core Parameters and Functions*Chint NXC-75/220V AC contactor*
1. **Specification Features*Chint DC Contactor NC1-5011-36V*
- **Poles**: 3P (three-phase), suitable for three-phase four-wire power distribution systems.
- **Rated Current**: 63A, matching the continuous operation requirements of high-power equipment (e.g., motors, transformers).
- **Trip Characteristic**: Type D curve, with an instantaneous trip current of 10–16 times the rated current, effectively handling inrush currents during motor starting.
- **Breaking Capacity**: 6kA, safely interrupting short-circuit fault currents to prevent contact welding or equipment damage.
2. **Technical Standards**
- Complies with IEC 60898-1 (international) and GB/T 10963.1 (China) standards, and is 3C certified.
- Operating temperature range: -35°C to 70°C, adapting to temperature fluctuations in industrial environments.
*II. Application Scenarios**
- **Industrial Sector**: Motor control, power distribution for production line equipment. The Type D trip characteristic avoids frequent false tripping.
- **Commercial and Residential Use**: Main switches or branch protection in three-phase power supply systems, such as power distribution in shopping malls and factories.
- **Special Scenarios**: Equipment requiring high short-circuit protection (e.g., welding machines, transformers), enabling rapid response to fault currents.
*III. Installation and Usage Recommendations**
1. **Installation Requirements**
- Must be installed by a professional electrician, vertically mounted on a standard 35mm rail, ensuring wiring screws are tightened to prevent loosening and heat generation.
- Use wires with appropriate cross-sectional area (e.g., 6mm² copper wire) and reserve sufficient operating space during wiring.
2. **Maintenance and Precautions**
- Regularly inspect contacts and terminal blocks to avoid poor contact due to oxidation or looseness.
- If tripping occurs frequently, check whether the load exceeds the rated current or if a short-circuit fault exists.
*IV. Price and Market Positioning**
- **Reference Price**: More cost-effective than similar imported brands (e.g., Siemens EA9 series).
- **Positioning**: As an upgraded version of the DZ47 series, the NXB-63 improves breaking capacity and reliability, suitable for cost-sensitive scenarios requiring high protection performance.
*V. Comparison with Siemens Equivalent Products**
- **Breaking Capacity**: The Siemens EA9AN3C63 has a breaking capacity of 6kA, comparable to the NXB-63, but its price is typically 30–50% higher.
- **Trip Characteristics**: Siemens Type D curve products (e.g., 5SJ6 series) have an instantaneous trip multiple of 10–14 times, close to the NXB-63’s 10–16 times, both suitable for motor protection.
- **Certifications**: Siemens products are usually UL-certified, while the NXB-63 does not explicitly mention North American certifications. U.S. users are advised to prioritize models with UL marks.
VI. Precautions**
- **Voltage Matching**: The 3P model has a rated voltage of 400V AC and cannot be used in single-phase 230V circuits.
- **Certification Compliance**: For use in the U.S., verify whether the product is UL-certified or choose other models compliant with North American standards (e.g., Siemens 5SJ6 series).

2. **International Standards**: Compliant with IEC 60898-1, but not explicitly UL-certified. North American users should prioritize models with UL marks (e.g., Siemens 5SJ6 series).
*IV. Accessories and Extended Functions**
1. **Auxiliary Contacts**: Supports accessories like AX-X1 (1NO+1NC), MX+OF (shunt trip + auxiliary contact) for remote control and status feedback.
2. **Wiring Terminals**: Threaded pressure plate terminals recommended for 6mm² copper wire (for 63A load), with a tightening torque of 2.0N·m to avoid heat generation.
*V. Dimensions and Installation Size**
- **Dimensions**: Approximately 90mm (W) × 75mm (H) × 85mm (D), subject to the official manual.
- **Wiring Space**: Reserve sufficient space; recommended wire cross-sectional area: 1–25mm² (selected by load current).
**VI. Notes**
1. **Voltage Matching**: Only for 400V three-phase systems; not for single-phase 230V circuits.
2. **Overload Protection**: Frequent tripping indicates checking whether the load exceeds the rated current or a short circuit exists.
3. **North American Market**: Not UL-certified; recommend Siemens 5SJ6 or other North American-compliant models.
