Molded Case Circuit Breaker is the Major Contributor to the Global Low Voltage DC Circuit Breaker Market

There is an increasing demand for molded case circuit breakers with the increase in power distribution and generation equipment. Additionally, there is a continual demand for molded case circuit breakers in the industrial and commercial sector. Industrial equipment such as elevators, conveyors, cranes etc., use these circuit breakers for power supply. Molded case circuit breakers are mainly of two types: Current Limiting (CL) and Non-Current Limiting (NCL). The current limiting type provides overload protection by interrupting over current without affecting the voltage; whereas the non-current limiting type reduces or limits the voltage to protect electrical and electronic equipment from damage during short circuit conditions.

Rising growth in the Demand for Molded Case Circuit Breaker is Primarily Attributed to the Following Factors

Firstly, growing power distribution networks in developing countries such as China and India. Secondly, for new smart grid systems with distributed power generation. Thirdly, the need to reduce energy costs by optimizing Energy usage. Lastly, increasing use of renewable sources of energy like wind and solar with distributed power generation system is expected to translate into an increased demand for Low Voltage DC Circuit Breaker during the forecast period.

Asia Pacific is the Largest Market for Low Voltage DC Circuit Breaker

Asia Pacific is the largest market for Low Voltage DC Circuit Breaker. The Rising demand from industries such as oil & gas, water treatment plant and water distribution, renewable energy systems (RES) as well as mining equipment make Asia Pacific a lucrative market for these products. The increase in demand for low voltage circuit breakers across oil and gas applications - including uninterruptible power supplies (UPS), solar inverters and wind turbines – has been significant over the past five years and will remain strong through 2022. Growth of microgrids that connect to the main electricity grid but can operate autonomously during outages or other disruptions is also driving increased sales of uninterruptible power supply equipment, which includes Low Voltage DC Circuit Breaker.
