MCB, RCCB & DB

Buy MCB, RCCB & Distribution Boards Online in Bangalore

An MCB switch is the safety device that protects a circuit from overload and short circuit, tripping automatically the instant something goes wrong to prevent overheating and fire. At Fixxly, this range is currently built entirely on the Schneider Electric Easy9 line - the MCB itself, an RCCB for earth-leakage protection, and the distribution board that houses them. This guide covers what each device does, mcb switch price, and how panel wiring and electric board wiring actually go together in a working distribution board.

MCB switch - what's actually stocked here

The Schneider Electric Easy9 MCB is the workhorse of this range, acting as a simple on-off switch for its circuit in normal use while tripping instantly if current exceeds the safe limit. Mcb switch price for the Easy9 MCB currently sits at ₹189. Unlike an old-fashioned fuse that has to be replaced after it blows, this MCB can simply be reset once the fault is cleared. The specific listing here does not break out individual amp ratings like 32 amp MCB in the title - amperage is selected on the product page itself, so check the rating shown there against the circuit you are protecting before ordering.

RCCB - protecting against earth leakage

The Schneider Electric Easy9 RCCB protects against earth leakage and electric shock by detecting the tiny current imbalance that occurs when electricity leaks to earth, tripping fast enough to prevent a dangerous shock. This is a life-safety device, not just equipment protection, and is strongly recommended for socket and wet-area circuits.

Distribution board - the mcb distribution board itself

The Schneider Electric Easy9 Distribution Board is the enclosure that receives the incoming supply and splits it into separate circuits, each protected by its own MCB. As with the MCB, the number of ways (such as a 16 way MCB box) is a configuration selected on the specific product listing rather than a separate product here - check the ways count on the product page against how many circuits your home needs, plus a few spare for future additions.

Why Fixxly for MCB, RCCB and distribution boards

Fixxly is a single platform for an entire renovation, and this range is one part of an electrical department that sits within Fixxly's ten full categories. Every product currently listed is genuine Schneider Electric Easy9, so the MCB, RCCB and distribution board are all from one matched, compatible range.

Delivery speed	30-minute quick delivery	Same-day if in stock locally, otherwise 1-5 days
Complete protection system in one order	MCB, RCCB and distribution board together	Usually needs multiple shops or sellers to gather a matched set
Returns on a bad unit	Straightforward replacement policy	Policies vary, and can be slow for small parts

Panel wiring and electric board wiring

Panel wiring is how the MCB, RCCB and isolator inside the distribution board are connected to the incoming supply and to each circuit - done cleanly and labelled, it makes the board safe to work on and easy to diagnose when something trips. Electric board wiring, and the wiring board layout more broadly, should always leave spare capacity for circuits added later, since replacing an undersized board is a far bigger job than fitting one more MCB into a board planned with room to grow.

RCCB MCB - why a home needs both

An RCCB and an MCB protect against different things, which is why a properly protected home distribution board uses both rather than one or the other. The MCB protects the wiring itself from overload and short circuit. The RCCB protects people from earth leakage and electric shock. Neither substitutes for the other - a board wired with only MCBs still leaves socket and wet-area circuits without shock protection.

Frequently asked questions

Does Fixxly stock Legrand MCBs and DBs as well as Schneider Electric?

Not on this specific live listing - the current product grid shows Schneider Electric Easy9 products only. Product availability can change, so check the live page directly for the current brand range before finalising a specification that assumes Legrand stock.

What is the difference between an MCB and a fuse?

An MCB is an automatic switch that trips to break a circuit during overload or short circuit and can be reset once the fault is cleared, while a fuse has to be replaced after it blows.

What does an RCCB protect against?

An RCCB protects against earth leakage and electric shock by detecting the small current imbalance that occurs when electricity leaks to earth, then tripping fast enough to prevent a dangerous shock.

How many ways should my distribution board have?

The DB should have enough ways for all your current circuits plus a few spare modules for future additions - check the specific ways count, such as 16 way, on the product listing you are ordering.

Is an MCB alone enough protection for a home?

No. An MCB protects the wiring from overload and short circuit, but does not protect people from earth leakage and shock - that is the RCCB's job. A properly protected board uses both.
