Electrical Protection & Control Components
Ensuring Safety and Reliability in Modern Electrical Systems
In an era where renewable energy integration, grid modernization, and industrial automation place unprecedented demands on electrical infrastructure, the role of robust protection and control components cannot be overstated. AIMRSE's Electrical Protection & Control Components division is dedicated to engineering and supplying high-performance devices that form the critical safety backbone of modern power systems. From utility-scale solar farms and wind installations to commercial buildings, data centers, and industrial plants, our product portfolio is designed to safeguard equipment, personnel, and the continuity of operations against electrical faults, overloads, short circuits, and transient surges.
We bridge the critical gap between advanced power generation and safe, reliable distribution. By integrating precision engineering—such as magnetic-hydraulic trip units in circuit breakers and arc-quenching technologies in isolators—with intelligent control capabilities, we empower system integrators, EPC contractors, facility managers, and utility operators to build electrical networks that are not only efficient but inherently safe and compliant with the most stringent international standards.
Our commitment extends beyond hardware. We provide comprehensive technical consultation on system coordination studies, arc-flash hazard analysis, and protective device coordination (PDC), ensuring that our components work in seamless harmony to isolate faults with minimal disruption and maximum safety.
Product Portfolio
Circuit Breakers
AIMRSE's Circuit Breakers are engineered to provide reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for a wide range of electrical systems. Our portfolio includes Air Circuit Breakers (ACBs) for main distribution, Molded Case Circuit Breakers (MCCBs) for feeder and branch protection, and specialized devices like Residual Current Circuit Breakers (RCCBs) for ground fault protection. Utilizing advanced magnetic-hydraulic or electronic trip units, our breakers offer precise time-current curves, adjustable settings, and high interrupting capacities up to 200kA. Features like zone-selective interlocking (ZSI) enhance system coordination, ensuring the nearest upstream breaker trips first to minimize outage scope. Designed for durability and ease of installation, these breakers are ideal for commercial, industrial, and renewable energy applications requiring robust and intelligent protection.

Isolator Switches
AIMRSE's Isolator Switches are designed to provide a visible, physical break in electrical circuits for safe maintenance, isolation, and switching operations. Our range includes Disconnector Switches, Load Break Switches (LBS), Fuse Switch Disconnectors (FSDs), and Automatic Transfer Switches (ATS) for backup power systems. Engineered for high mechanical endurance and reliable arc quenching, these switches feature clear ON/OFF indication, padlock provisions for lock-out/tag-out (LOTO) safety, and robust contacts rated for frequent operation. The ATS models incorporate intelligent controllers for seamless transition between main and backup sources, ensuring continuous power to critical loads. With enclosures rated up to IP65 for dust and water ingress protection, our isolators are built to perform reliably in harsh industrial and outdoor environments.

PV DC Circuit Breakers & Isolators
AIMRSE's PV DC Protection range is specifically engineered for the unique challenges of photovoltaic systems, where high DC voltage, continuous current, and potential arc hazards require specialized solutions. This portfolio includes DC circuit breakers and isolators rated for systems up to 1500V DC, PV combiner boxes with integrated string protection, and MC4-type connectors and fuses. Our DC breakers feature magnetic blow-out chambers and arc chutes designed to extinguish DC arcs safely, a significantly more demanding task than AC arc interruption. The isolators provide a safe means to disconnect strings or arrays for maintenance. All components are built with UV-resistant housings and corrosion-resistant materials to withstand decades of outdoor exposure. These devices are essential for ensuring the safety, reliability, and serviceability of utility-scale, commercial, and residential solar installations.

Circuit Breaker Technology
Our circuit breakers represent the pinnacle of protective device engineering. ACBs utilize advanced microprocessor-based trip units (MICLOG) that provide precise protection functions (L, S, I, G), metering, and communication via Modbus or Profibus. The magnetic-hydraulic trip mechanism in our MCCBs offers a time-delay for overloads and instantaneous response for short circuits, with a bimetallic element that compensates for ambient temperature. For enhanced safety, our RCCBs incorporate core balance current transformers to detect leakage currents as low as 30mA, triggering disconnection within 300ms to prevent electric shock. All breakers are designed with arc chutes that use deionization plates to split and cool the arc, ensuring safe interruption even at maximum fault levels.
Isolator Switch Mechanics & Safety
AIMRSE isolator switches are engineered for mechanical robustness and operational safety. The rotary or toggle mechanism ensures a positive, quick-make/quick-break action, minimizing arcing during load switching. Our fuse switch disconnectors combine the isolating function with HV/HRC fuse protection, providing both switching and backup short-circuit protection in one unit. A critical feature is the integrated safety interlock system, which prevents the enclosure door from being opened when the switch is in the ON position, enforcing safe work practices. For ATS units, the control logic includes programmable time delays, engine start signals, and priority settings to manage complex transfer sequences without compromising system stability.
DC Arc Fault Mitigation in PV Systems
Addressing the significant fire risk of DC arc faults in PV systems, our protection components incorporate several mitigation strategies. DC circuit breakers are tested to extinguish arcs at 1500V DC, a voltage where arcs are highly persistent. The internal arc chute design uses specially shaped plates and magnetic fields to stretch and cool the arc plasma rapidly. PV combiner boxes include String Level Monitoring (SLM) capabilities to detect abnormal current or voltage signatures indicative of a developing series arc fault. Furthermore, all DC connectors (MC4 type) are fully touch-proof and feature a double-locking mechanism to prevent accidental disconnection under load, a common cause of dangerous DC arcs.
Intelligent Control & Communication
The intelligence of modern protection lies in connectivity. AIMRSE's electronic trip units and ATS controllers are equipped with communication modules supporting industry-standard protocols like Modbus TCP/IP, Profinet, and IEC 61850. This enables integration into Building Management Systems (BMS), SCADA, and IoT platforms for remote monitoring, real-time fault diagnostics, and predictive maintenance. Data such as load profiles, energy consumption, trip logs, and contact wear can be accessed digitally, transforming protective devices into intelligent nodes within a smart electrical ecosystem, facilitating condition-based maintenance and optimizing system reliability.
