IEC 60898-1 · 2-in-1 Test Station

MCB Automatic Magnetic Trip Test + On-Off & High Voltage Test Machine

Integrated MCB testing machine uses a 1-piece frame that has all 3 ways of testing the MCB’s; magnetic trip (instantaneous), mechanical on-off verification, and high voltage dielectric testing; to accomplish all three functions in one self-contained automated test station. The testing, which is used in high volume production lines and has dramatically reduced both floor space (by 40%) and capital expenditure (by 30%) over conventional separate bench systems, will also have a cycle time of less than 2.5 seconds per pole.

Our automated system is the most advanced and sophisticated in the industry. This machine provides instantaneous and precise tripping verification (5-10 times rated currents for B, C & D curves), rigorous dielectric strength testing (to 4,000V AC), continuity checks, etc. Furthermore, a high-speed indexing system will provide no impact to the total line capacity; it utilizes advanced PLC control and high-precision sensors to ensure compliance to the IEC 60898-1 safety standard and optimised production flow. This machine is a true two-in-one solution for all manufacturers of electrical assemblies to achieve the highest level of cost efficiency versus uncompromising quality; eliminates bottlenecks; maximises return on investment (ROI) for high-volume electrical assembly lines.

What is an MCB Magnetic Trip & High Voltage Test Machine?

A high voltage test equipment for testing the magnetic trip of circuit breakers and their mechanical reliability when switched on and off. An MCB magnetic testing machine is the main piece of equipment in every production line that manufactures miniature circuit breakers (MCBs). The test equipment ensures compliance with IEC 60899 standards before leaving the production facility.

Magnetic Trip Test
Applies 5-10× rated current to verify instantaneous trip time (<100ms) for B/C/D curves.
On-Off Verification
Checks mechanical switching function and contact continuity after electrical tests.
High Voltage Test
Applies up to 4,000V AC dielectric test between live parts and housing.
PLC & Data Logging
Central control with pass/fail sorting and full traceability per unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What tests does this machine perform?

Three tests are performed by the device: magnetic trip (instantaneous) test at 5-10 times the rated current; on-off mechanical verification; and high voltage (dielectric) test up to 4000v ac.

What is the cycle time for 1P MCB testing?

≤2.5 seconds for each pole. For 2P/3P/4P MCB’s total cycle time will increase in a linear fashion (typically 3 – 5 seconds total).

Can it test both Type B and Type C MCBs?

Absolutely. All the test curves ( B, C and D ) are saved in the machine. Changing from one curve type to another takes less than a minute using the HMI.

Is the machine compatible with automated assembly lines?

The device is meant to be installed between upstream/downstream conveyor systems; Any needed communication will utilize either Modbus TCP or OPC UA protocols.

What data can be exported?

Magnetic Trip Time (ms), On/Off Status, Hi-Pot Leakage Current (mA), Pass/Fail, Date & Time (Timestamp), Serial Number are recorded for every MCB that is tested.

All specifications subject to final technical agreement. Benlong Automation – IEC 60898-1 compliant MCB testing solutions since 2010.
