MCB(miniature circuit breaker)

Miniature circuit breakers (MCB’s) are fitted in newer consumer units in place of fuses. They have the advantage that they can be manually reset without having to replace wire as in the case of the traditional fuse. The MCB’s have either a button or lever that can be flicked to reset it.

The MCB tripping is an indication either that the circuit has been overloaded or that a short circuit has occured somewhere in the system. Before resetting the MCB it is important to identify what has caused it to trip. Switch off all the appliances connected to the circuit to ensure it is not overloading. Identifying fault for

more details on finding the problem.

First switch off the main switch on the consumer unit, this is very important. Reset the MCB by either pushing the button or by flicking the lever. Finally flick the main switch of the consumer unit back on. If the

MCB immediately resets itself once power is restored, then a fault is still occurring.

The Four Lobes of the Human Brain

While much of how to the human brain works still a mystery, neuroscientists have a solid grasp on how the four lobes of the brain play their part in making us function in our day-to-day lives. The human brain is one of the most complex things to exist in the Universe, so it goes without saying it is the most wondrous organ in the human body. While much of what makes the brain, and the billions of neurons in it, work are still a mystery, neuroscientists continually discover more about its fascinating features and functions.  Let's take a very basic look at the brain's four lobes, and more specifically, what purposes they serve:  Frontal Lobe Every individual's personality is formed and determined in the frontal lobe. Much of what we think of as the human experience starts here: reasoning, problem-solving, planning, organizing, sexual urges, emotions, and motor skills (movement), are just a few of its functions. Since it is located in front of the central cranium, the fr
