With the rising global awareness for environmental protection, an increasing number of businesses are shifting their focus towards green, low-carbon development. Energy conservation and consumption reduction have become pivotal directions for corporate growth. In this transition, the application of smart MCBs has emerged as a vital tool for businesses to achieve these goals.
CHINT, as a global provider of intelligent energy solutions across the entire industrial chain, offers its NB2 series of smart MCBs. These breakers enable precise and controllable electricity usage.
They effectively prevent overload and short-circuit incidents, offer remote control and management of electrical equipment, and promote intelligent management of these devices. All these contribute significantly to businesses’ green and low-carbon development and help reduce energy consumption.
Aligned with the trend of intelligent distribution, CHINT’s NB2 series of smart MCBs are designed based on real user needs, equipped with built-in modules for power, leakage protection, and communication. They can measure various parameters like current, voltage, power, and energy.
Additionally, they can be controlled remotely via a PC or mobile app, allowing users to monitor and control the power distribution status of an entire building from afar. The NB2 series boasts three primary advantages: safety, intelligence, and easy setup. They address the power-related pain points in various scenarios like supermarkets, smart streetlights, residential PV, commercial buildings, and so on.
For supermarkets and stores
Common issues: Normally, supermarkets and stores only address electrical issues after a fault has occurred, which makes the circuit safety risks can not be found in time. Chain stores are scattered, making maintenance time-consuming and inconvenient. Lights remain on after the store closes, wasting electricity.
NB2 Solutions: Monitor electric parameters like current and voltage in real-time to detect issues early. If a fault occurs, NB2 automatically sends an alarm signal to the control platform, which is faster than manual reporting.
Remote control of lights, LEDs and signboard light boxes is possible with the NB2 solution, making management more convenient and reducing power waste. A large fast food chain with 1000 stores has completed LOT intelligent transformation.

For Smart Streetlights
Common issues: Numerous streetlights are spread out, making it difficult to detect faults promptly. There’s also the problem of electricity theft.
NB2 Solutions: We can remotely turn smart streetlights on and off via NB2, for instance, re-closing after a leakage trip. Shorten maintenance time through fault location and alarm, thereby reducing traffic hazards caused by poor lighting.
Also, we can detect whether there is electricity theft using the power metering function, and allow for remote disconnection to prevent such actions. On the Yueqing Electric City Avenue, two rows of CHINT street lights create a sense of future for the street.

For Residential PV and Commercial Buildings
Common issues: Electrical problems are usually addressed only after they occur, making prevention challenging. Unattended areas where lights or air conditioning are left on, lead to wastage. Commercial EV charging stations need billing.
NB2 Solutions: Monitor parameters like current and voltage to detect electrical issues promptly. Remote control of NB2 MCBs reduces energy consumption. The solution enables data acquisition for solar energy generation and energy storage, and energy metering for EV charging stations.
Coupled with intelligent systems, it allows for energy efficiency analysis, which allows us to make more appropriate electricity usage plans. In China, this solution has been successfully applied to multiple office buildings, villas, and other scenarios.

For Campuses and Public Rental Housing
Common issues: Electrical faults are challenging to predict, posing dangers in densely populated areas. Dangerous high-power appliances are difficult to control.
NB2 Solutions: Offer various protective features against issues like overload, short-circuit, under-voltage,over-voltage, frequency discrepancies, and phase loss. NB2 can automatically detect whether the leakage protection function is normal at regular intervals.
Via energy metering function, we can find out whether the dormitory is using potentially dangerous high-power appliances, and detects any unusual electricity consumption patterns.

Today, CHINT’s NB2 series of smart MCBs are extensively used in scenarios that require electricity control and energy metering. In the future, CHINT will continue to delve deeper into the field of intelligent power distribution, bringing global users solutions that are even more tailored to their specific needs.
