Ranking of the best manufacturers of circuit breakers

Overview brands

So, first briefly describe the main manufacturers of circuit breakers.With regard to foreign brands, the most famous are considered:

• ABB.Swedish-Swiss company, which is considered a leader in the field of electrical production.Today ABB circuit-breakers are the highest quality, durable and safe to use.As you know, for such foreign products will have to pay more money than for a domestic model.At the same time, a small difference in price, so the houses and apartments we recommend to buy machines from the manufacturer ABB.
• Legrand.Country of origin - France.Circuit breakers Legrand company is not inferior in quality to the brand ABB, therefore, for electrical work Legrand products is also preferred to choose.At a cost of machines are about the same, in fact, as well as on reliability.
• Schneider Electric.Another French company, which covers the top 3 of the best manufacturer specializing in the production of reliable circuit breakers.Schneider Electric is already very long ago settled on the Russian market of electrical products and has a lot of positive feedback from experienced electricians.
• General Electric.American manufacturer of power machines and other electrical products, which also can be called one of the best quality.To date, there is a lot of discussion on the forums about what is best: GE or Legrand.Here we can say that both brands produce breakers of good quality, but in fact, to LeGrand demand more on the Russian market.
• Siemens.Siemens company specializes not only on the issue of automation, but still has a wide range of models for industrial and domestic use.The quality is a little worse than that of the top three, but still is very high.The price is also a bit lower compared to manufacturers such as ABB, Legrand and Schneider Electric.
• Moeller.The German company, successfully competing with global giants like ABB.Despite the fact that in 2007 was bought by the American Moeller Eaton Corporation, the quality and reliability of the product is not displayed for the worse.Moeller company Circuit Breakers meet all international standards and enjoyed high popularity.

Among domestic manufacturers of machines, better quality of such brands as:

• KEAZ.Products Kursk plant has an average quality and about the same price.In the line of circuit breakers can be found on any model of the rated current at the same time guarantee on machines 2 years, further evidence of good reliability products.
• IEK.Infamous, judging by the reviews on the discussion forums, the Russian company that manufactures machines of dubious quality.Lack of IEK products that the plastic housing may break up at the waist pressure screws.Meanwhile AB buzzing, even if the load is not critical.Despite its shortcomings, circuit breakers IEK are in high demand on the Russian and Ukrainian market, due to the low cost of the automation manufacturer.
• contactor.The plant belongs to the company Legrand, so the quality of products is much higher than other domestic brands.At the same time the cost of machines "Contactor" is about the same as that of the European Union of products, therefore, it seems to us, it is better to buy already proven automation and be assured of its reliability.
• DEKraft.Relatively young Russian company, which is engaged in production of electrical goods.Low cost justifies not very good quality, compared with international manufacturers.At the same time dekraft machines comply with all Russian standards and are even used in the construction of low cost industrial facilities, mass housing.

I would also like to say a few words about products from China.Chinese breakers EKF electrotechnica, direct competitors which are IEK machines.Both firms about the same price and similar quality.Ironically, China gives a guarantee on your product for a period of 5 years.
