In the first quarter of 2026, China’s low voltage electrical equipment exports maintained strong growth, with global demand for power protection products continuing to rise—solidifying their position as a key growth driver for China’s mechanical and electrical product exports. Data shows that China’s exports of automatic circuit breakers reached USD 440 million in Q1 2026, up 12.0% year-on-year; fuses exports hit USD 130 million, surging 30.2% year-on-year, reflecting robust momentum in overseas market demand.
Asia remains the core market for China’s low voltage circuit breaker exports. In Q1 2026, China’s exports of low voltage circuit breakers to Asia totaled USD 3.91 billion, a 24.6% year-on-year increase and accounting for 58.3% of the total export value. Sustained strong demand in the regional market has created vast growth opportunities for domestic low voltage electrical manufacturers.
Driven by robust international market demand, leading Chinese low voltage electrical enterprises are accelerating global expansion, continuously expanding overseas market share with reliable quality and comprehensive performance. As an industry benchmark, People Electric has seen its flagship RDB5-63 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) become a top-selling export product, precisely meeting global market requirements for low-voltage distribution protection devices.
The RDB5-63 MCB is designed for AC 50Hz/60Hz circuits with rated operational voltages of 230V (1P) / 400V (2P/3P/4P) and rated currents up to 63A. It provides reliable overload and short-circuit protection, while also serving as a switch for infrequent line switching. Boasting a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 4.5KA/6KA, this People Electric MCB features a compact size with high capacity, enhanced wiring capability, low temperature rise and power consumption. Constructed with high flame-retardant and impact-resistant housing materials, it delivers excellent insulation performance. Compliant with the IEC/EN60898-1 international standard and certified with CE marking, the RDB5-63 is compatible with power grid standards in most countries worldwide, making it widely applicable to residential, commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Additionally, it supports B, C and D instantaneous trip types to meet protection needs for diverse scenarios, gaining strong popularity across Asia, the Middle East, Latin America and other key export regions.
Industry insiders note that global upgrades to power grid infrastructure, advancements in new energy construction, and growing demand for residential distribution renovations overseas will further boost demand for China’s low voltage circuit breakers and fuses. Going forward, leading Chinese enterprises like People Electric will continue to deepen R&D and optimize product performance, strengthening their global position with more competitive offerings and driving high-quality global expansion of China’s low voltage electrical industry.
