Manufactured with the latest technology, these will be available in differential ratings, ranging from 63 to 800 Amps in various pole configurations. The switchgears have been introduced in 5 different frame sizes across the country. The MCCB launch will further strengthen the switchgear basket of the company and will give Finolex Cables access to the enormous and robust industrial switchgear market to serve its retail and panel builder clients.
