MCB conection full guide information




### Tools Needed:

- Screwdriver

- Wire stripper

- Appropriate wire (as per load and MCB rating)

- Insulated gloves (optional but recommended)


### Steps:


1. **Turn Off Main Power:**

   Always switch off the main breaker before working with any electrical connections.


2. **Strip the Wire:**

   Strip about 10–12 mm (½ inch) of insulation from the end of the wire using a wire stripper.


3. **Identify the Terminals:**

   - **Line/Incoming Terminal:** Usually at the top of the MCB.

   - **Load/Outgoing Terminal:** Usually at the bottom of the MCB.


4. **Insert the Wire:**

   - Insert the stripped end of the wire into the correct terminal.

     - **Incoming power wire** goes to the top terminal (line side).

     - **Outgoing wire to load (light, socket, etc.)** goes to the bottom terminal.


5. **Tighten the Terminal Screws:**

   - Use a screwdriver to securely tighten the terminal screws. Ensure the wire is tightly gripped and doesn't pull out easily.


6. **Double-check Connections:**

   - Make sure there are no loose strands and the insulation isn't caught in the terminal.


7. **Close the Panel & Restore Power:**

   After confirming all connections are secure, close the distribution board and restore power.


### Safety Tips:

- Always ensure power is OFF before working.

- Use the right size and type of wire for the load and MCB rating.

- Label wires if you're working in a complex panel.
