Measuring display unit (MDU) breakers are a combination of circuit breaker, measuring device and display that make it possible to measure, display and transmit information about electric circuits while simultaneously supporting energy savings by small space and short installation time. The MDU breakers have compact design with the LCD screen for displaying circuit information embedded on the front of its body.

(1)MDU circuit breakers are capable to clarify the relationship between production volume and power usage as well as a tool for visualizing collected data.
(1)Automation of periodic measurement
(2)Automation of detailed measurement
Breakers with the same outside dimensions as the standard circuit breakers are realized by using the front LCD for displaying circuit information.
When an alarm or fault occurs,the LCD backlight changes from white to red.
The multi-function display screen reduces the number of operations.
