Conventionally, a spring mechanism is used to open and close air circuit breakers, which are a key part of low-voltage power-distribution equipment. To control the circuit breaker remotely the spring must be charged by the motor, which requires the motor drive unit to incorporate large numbers of parts, which greatly increases costs and maintenance requirements.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s new electromagnetically operated air circuit breaker with tapered and magnetic-latch structures in the movable iron core only requires about the same level of operating power as a motor control, but its operation mechanism contains 46% less components and maintenance requirements are reduced by 30%. In addition, operating the circuit breaker directly with an electromagnet eliminates\u00a0 the need to charge a motor spring, thereby slashing electric power needed to open and close the circuit by 88%. Mitsubishi Electric, having now won another prestigious R&amp;D 100 Award, is committed to driving the development of next-generation power switching devices in order to continue delivering products that customers can use safely and securely in their electrical facilities.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-7008 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2-300x159.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"585\" height=\"310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2-300x159.jpg 300w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2-768x407.jpg 768w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2-1024x543.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2-700x371.jpg 700w, https:\/\/manufacturing-review.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/World-Super-AE-V-Series-C-class-low-voltage-air-circuit-breaker_2.jpg 1205w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Fig.1 Internal structure of low-voltage air circuit breaker Fig.2 Magnetic latch-type electromagnetic operating mechanism<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mitsubishi Electric\u2019s Low-voltage Air Circuit Breaker Wins R&amp;D 100 Award &#8211;
