Harga pemutus sirkuit di Bangladesh pada tahun 2026 terutama ditentukan oleh tiga faktor yang tidak terkait dengan pemutus sirkuit itu sendiri: bea impor, margin distribusi lokal merek, dan apakah pemutus sirkuit diimpor melalui saluran resmi atau pasar abu-abu. Oleh karena itu, misalnya, pemutus sirkuit miniatur 32 A dapat dijual seharga 250 Taka di Dhaka dan 900 Taka di Dhaka, dan kedua penjual dapat memperoleh keuntungan.
Singkatnya, Miniature Circuit Breaker 6 hingga 32 A harganya sekitar Taka 250-900 di Dhaka; MCB 63 A dijual sekitar Taka 900-2.500; Moulded Case Circuit Breaker 100 A dapat ditemukan dengan harga Taka 4.500-12.000; Taka 15.000-45.000 untuk MCCB 250 A; dan Taka 400.000 ke atas untuk Air Circuit Breaker. RCCB dan RCBO berada di kisaran Taka 2.500-8.000. Biaya produk bermerek Eropa biasanya dua hingga empat kali lipat dari produk China yang sebanding, karena premi tersebut untuk layanan meja lokal dan sertifikat yang dapat diverifikasi, bukan untuk mekanisme yang lebih baik. Pemutus sirkuit DC biasanya berharga 30-60% lebih mahal daripada pemutus sirkuit AC dengan rating arus yang sama.
Bagian berikut memberikan biaya pemutus sirkuit berdasarkan jenis, rating arus, jenis merek, jenis arus, dan biaya keseluruhan, termasuk kepatuhan dan biaya bea. Bagian terakhir membahas titik kegagalan untuk pemutus sirkuit murah dan cara memperkirakan anggaran proyek.
Biaya Pemutus Sirkuit di Bangladesh pada tahun 2026
Sebagian besar pemutus sirkuit di Bangladesh diimpor. Biayanya mencakup harga pabrikan ditambah ongkos kirim, bea, PPN, margin untuk importir dan pengecer. Oleh karena itu, pemutus sirkuit di Dhaka biasanya berharga 40-60% lebih mahal daripada harga FOB-nya sehingga membandingkan penawaran lokal dengan penawaran Alibaba bisa menyesatkan.
Nilai tukar BDT ke USD berperan sama pentingnya dengan tarif. Pada tahun 2026, nilai tukar diperkirakan sekitar BDT 120 hingga BDT 125 per USD dan, oleh karena itu, pemutus sirkuit yang dikutip seharga USD 6 FOB akan berharga sekitar BDT 730 sebelum bea dan harga jual akhirnya di tingkat ritel (antara BDT 1.100 hingga BDT 1.300) adalah wajar, bukan dilebih-lebihkan.
Ada tiga segmen pembelian di pasar listrik. Sektor residensial dan komersial membeli miniature circuit breaker dari toko pasokan listrik di Dhaka, Chittagong, dan Sylhet. Proyek industri membeli moulded case circuit breaker dan air circuit breaker dari distributor resmi berdasarkan spesifikasi. Sektor utilitas dan pemerintah membeli peralatan listrik melalui tender kompetitif berdasarkan spesifikasi yang memiliki standar, kategori merek, dan sertifikasi pengujian.
Setiap baris dalam tabel di bawah ini membandingkan harga produk individual dari harga terendah produk hingga harga tertinggi dari jenis yang sama. Dalam setiap kasus, rasio antara produk dengan harga terendah dan produk dengan harga tertinggi berkisar antara dua hingga empat kali. Perbedaan ini terutama berasal dari nama merek dan sertifikasi daripada dari kemampuan produk itu sendiri. Sebagai contoh, Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) 32 A dengan harga terendah yang diproduksi oleh produsen terkemuka mungkin mampu memutus arus hingga 6 kA pada maksimum.
Oleh karena itu, setiap MCB 32 A yang diproduksi oleh produsen berkualitas mampu melakukan pemutusan arus 6 kA, namun konsistensi kalibrasi, kualitas pelapisan, dan apakah sertifikasi dapat divalidasi sangat bervariasi antar produsen. Oleh karena itu Rentang MCB yang menerbitkan baik toleransi kalibrasi maupun kelas kapasitas pemutusan lebih mudah dibandingkan daripada rentang MCB yang hanya menerbitkan rating arusnya.
Penetapan Harga berdasarkan Rating; Dalam Satu Jenis
Untuk satu keluarga produk individual, peningkatan arus tidak memberikan kenaikan harga yang proporsional untuk produk yang sama. Dengan mengetahui langkah kenaikan harga dalam setiap jenis produk, Anda dapat menganggarkan pembelian Anda dengan lebih akurat.
| Langkah Rating | Pengaruh Harga | Alasan |
|---|---|---|
| MCB 6 A hingga 32 A | Hampir datar, 10-25 Taka | Rumah yang identik, mekanisme yang identik, kalibrasi berbeda |
| MCB 32 A hingga 63 A | Dua kali lipat | Rumah lebih besar, kontak lebih berat, kelas 10 kA |
| MCB 63 A hingga 125 A | Tiga kali lipat lagi | Bingkai berbeda, terutama hanya tiga kutub |
| MCCB 100 A hingga 250 A | Tiga kali lipat | Ukuran bingkai, kapasitas pemutusan, unit trip |
| MCCB 250 A hingga 630 A | Tiga/empat kali lipat | Opsi trip elektronik, koneksi busbar |
| Keuntungan Harga Pemutus 6 kA vs. Pemutus 10 kA | +30-50% | Arc chute lebih berat, kontak lebih besar |
| Keuntungan Harga Thermomagnetic vs. Trip Elektronik | Dua hingga tiga kali lipat | Transformator arus, prosesor, pengaturan setelan |
Implikasi praktisnya adalah bahwa papan yang berisi banyak sirkuit kecil lebih murah daripada papan yang berisi beberapa sirkuit besar. Contohnya adalah biaya lebih rendah dari papan domestik 12 jalur yang berisi mini circuit breaker dibandingkan dengan biaya satu pemutus moulded case 250 A. Ini adalah pertimbangan penting saat menyiapkan dan membagi anggaran proyek. Contoh lain adalah pemutus moulded case di ujung atas skala, yang memiliki kemampuan untuk mencakup rentang 16-250 A pada satu bingkai dengan trip termomagnetik yang dapat disesuaikan, memungkinkan pembuatan sub-main dengan jadwal yang terjangkau dibandingkan dengan daftar banyak perangkat individual.
Mengapa Pemutus AC dan DC Sangat Berbeda dalam Harga
Biaya pemutus DC dibandingkan dengan pemutus AC lebih tinggi 30-60 Taka karena busur listrik.
Dalam rangkaian AC, terdapat dua setengah siklus atau nol-silang untuk setiap siklus lengkap, pada saat itu busur padam secara alami; oleh karena itu, busur hanya perlu dicegah agar tidak menyala kembali oleh pemutus sirkuit. Sebaliknya, rangkaian DC tidak memiliki nol-silang, sehingga busur harus dipadamkan dengan cara eksternal seperti memperpanjang busur, mendinginkan busur, dan membagi busur di beberapa elektroda; oleh karena itu, saluran busur untuk rangkaian DC harus lebih besar, harus ada lebih banyak elektroda, dan gaya magnetik yang lebih kuat harus digunakan untuk menarik busur terpisah, semuanya dalam ruang yang sama dengan rangkaian AC.
Di Bangladesh, aplikasi tenaga surya untuk daya DC telah berkembang pesat, dan kenaikan harga untuk aplikasi surya dapat dilihat pada harga pemutus sirkuit DC. Misalnya, harga pemutus sirkuit DC dengan rating arus 32 ampere yang digunakan dalam string combiner berkisar antara 1200 hingga 3000 BDT, sedangkan pemutus sirkuit dengan rating AC yang setara dihargai antara 400 hingga 900 BDT; oleh karena itu, sekali lagi, perbedaan harga disebabkan oleh desain pemutus sirkuit dengan rating DC.
Terkait dengan keselamatan, Pemutus sirkuit dengan rating DC tidak boleh digunakan atau diganti dengan pemutus sirkuit dengan rating AC karena mereka tidak mampu memadamkan busur dan dapat tertutup secara tidak sengaja ketika pemutus sirkuit AC gagal. Sayangnya, penggantian pemutus sirkuit AC dengan pemutus sirkuit DC adalah praktik umum dalam instalasi tenaga surya kecil; oleh karena itu alasan adanya tanda yang sangat berbeda pada perangkat dengan rating DC.
Tingkatan Merek dan Apa yang Dibeli Premium
Merek Eropa premium menawarkan konsumen Bangladesh tiga keuntungan spesifik: dukungan teknis lokal, sertifikasi yang dapat diverifikasi melalui basis data produsen, dan persediaan stok yang tersedia dengan mudah. Dukungan teknis lokal penting saat menangani skema proteksi; sedangkan sertifikat diperlukan oleh konsultan untuk kepatuhan terhadap peraturan lokal; dan stok dipertahankan untuk mengatasi masalah yang disebabkan oleh kegagalan pemutus sirkuit, terutama di rumah sakit, di mana waktu pengiriman pengganti pemutus sirkuit yang diharapkan bisa sampai tiga minggu.
Meskipun harga untuk merek tingkat satu Cina dan perakitan lokal mungkin lebih menarik bagi penduduk dan pabrik kecil, faktor terpenting saat memilih perangkat adalah mengetahui dengan pasti bahwa ada sertifikasi yang valid dan dapat dilacak. Perangkat juga harus memiliki sertifikat kalibrasi yang dapat diverifikasi because these devices have the highest potential for failure, which creates the need for fast replacement of breakers if the load ultimately exceeds 100 amps. At this point, the decision-making process regarding molded case breaker supply becomes increasingly complicated, due primarily to the number of devices purchased individually versus packaged together.
Between the factory and the retail shelf, there are three costs that account for most of the difference between an FOB price and the retail price in Dhaka.
What Compliance and Duty Add to the Price
The compliance with International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standards has been adopted for Bangladesh using Bangladesh Standards and Testing Institution (BSTI) equivalent(s). The BSTI certifies circuit breakers to allow them to be sold in Bangladesh; therefore, a circuit breaker needs to have been tested for compliance against the appropriate IEC standard in order to be deemed compliant, regardless of the label the manufacturer uses, and a test certificate serves as proof of compliance.
Import Duties on Circuit breakers fall under the Harmonized System (HS) classification of HS 8536. The import duty percentage rate applied to circuit breakers depends on their specific HS classification/subheading as well as whether or not the importer has an import concession and will range from approximately 10-25% of the Custom Invoice Value (CIF) amount; therefore, it is important to confirm the classification/subheading prior to shipping, rather than after shipping.
VAT is applied to an assessed value of 15% on the cost of the product at the time of Importation and again at the time of Sale; this figure explains the difference in the retail price for a circuit breaker that costs $6; therefore, a circuit breaker that costs $6 would sell at a retail shelf price of BDT 1,100 (rupees)/BDT 900 (rupees, respectively); VAT applies equally to all brands.
Freight & clearance represent the remaining part of the price difference between the FOB price and the Price on Shelf in Dhaka. While the cost per unit shipped in a full container of Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCB) is significantly less than that of a single Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) shipped via Air freight, the urgent Replacement of an MCCB from Bangladesh has a significantly higher shipping price than the same item included in a project shipment.
Where Inexpensive Products are Not as Effective
The main causes for the discrepancy between an electrical component that is effective for 20 years versus one that is only effective for three years come from four different areas that are typically not observable on the parts.
Calibration Drift. When a circuit breaker is new, it is calibrated to trip at approximately 1.6 times its rated capacity. However, after just a few years of being thermally cycled, a CB that originally was rated to trip at 1.6 has now calibrated itself to trip at 2.2 times its original rating, leaving the cable it protects without adequate protection. The calibration of each circuit breaker is determined by the bimetal strip and the adjusting screw. The calibration process is eliminated with inexpensive units so that manufacturers can take advantage of low-quality materials and manufacturing processes.
Contact Plating. Contact surfaces of circuit breakers can wear through due to heat generated at contact points due to inadequate contact surface area and, in many cases, inadequate shunt (to dissipate heat). Maintenance personnel typically discover overheating contact surfaces using infrared scans after the breaker has been running at an elevated temperature for one year.
Arc Chute Design. Arc chutes that are too short and contain too few plates will stop the current flow once during a fault condition; however, an inadequate design will not trip during the first short on the fault current, and the arc chute will fail again during the second iteration of the fault.
Terminal Torque. Circuit breakers that cannot be tightened properly due to striping the terminal threads at their rated torque will not operate safely when installed in a distribution board. Loose terminals are the most frequent cause of fires in the distribution board. The behaviour of multiple circuit breakers (MCBs) and moulded case circuit breakers (MCCBs) and why they are treated differently with respect to the ability of moulded case circuit breakers to withstand higher terminal loads are discussed.
At the point of assessment at the counter, only three of the four devices listed can actually be evaluated for acceptance of return and the certification of origin and possible batch marking of the unit should it fail. Therefore, when assessing a brand tier, it is not a quality decision but rather an evaluation of recourse available to buyers.
Building a Budget by Application
Using an application to create a project budget, we have provided an indicative estimate for devices needed based on typical applications:
| Aplikasi | Peringkat | Devices | Indicative budget |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two bedroom flat | 8 Circuits | 8-MCB 1-RCCB 1-Main switch | BDT 12,000-30,000 |
| Small Retail/Office | 12 Circuits | 12-MCB 2-RCBO 1-MCCB 100 A | BDT 25,000-60,000 |
| Small Factory | 200 A Service | 1-MCCB 250 A 6-MCB 100 A 12-MCB | BDT 120,000-280,000 |
| Rooftop Solar | 10 kW | DC isolators, DC breakers, AC breaker, SPD | BDT 35,000-80,000 |
| Industrial Main Incomer | 1600 A | 1-ACB metering & controls | BDT 500,000-1,300,000 |
The above costs are the costs for the device alone. To estimate a project budget for devices, we need to add between 60%-150% to the above costs for expenses related to boards, busbars, enclosures, wiring and labor depending upon whether the completed board was manufactured locally or imported as a complete assembly. As a result, it is common for project budgets that include only devices to be inaccurate by the time the board is energized.
Where HUYU products fit in the market
We manufacture miniature circuit breakers (MCB), moulded case circuit breakers (MCCB) from 1 A-1600 A as per the requirements of IEC 60898-1, IEC 60947-2 & UL 489 for regions that require UL rated MCBs and MCCBs. Our pricing is positioned in the Chinese tier-one group within Bangladesh, or approximately one third that of European brands and slightly less than one-fifth above the pricing of unbranded devices.
The succession of circuit breakers may vary widely based on local / national priorities and what the average cost of living or working costs are like. In some parts of Bangladesh you may be able to find MCB’s at a starting price of BDT 250. This is by no means a fair comparison as in most regions the prices can be found to have a maximum of five different price points between different brands or suppliers.
The minimum price point of an MCB would typically be around BDT 250 for miniaturised designs (with both 6 & 32 A ratings available) which could go as high as BDT 900 for larger 63 A models (type A). Most MCBs would be sold at around 40% to 50% less than the equivalent-value AC Breaker’s price.
Additional notes include:
Because of the size of Bangladesh and how long it has developed in relation to other Asian countries, you will not find all retail shops in every region providing the full range of products. As an example, in larger metropolitan areas, such as Dhaka you would expect to see more variety on offer as opposed to rural markets where most MCB brands may therefore only be supplied at specific times.
Three reasons for these price variations are as follows:
- Local product sourcing
- Volume of stock ordered
- Differences in business operations
It should also be remembered that circuit breakers in Bangladesh are more cost-effective compared to many European brands. The primary reason behind this is due to the developmental stage that Europe is at, regarding the price model of MCB breakers in comparison with Bangladesh. For instance, you can find AC circuit breakers from an average of BDT 400,000 or so (.which is equivalent to £100) while you will pay well over £1000-£2500 in Europe (depending on size, type, manufacturer).
A grey import device may not come with an authorised distributor’s warranty or technical support, however it will still function when purchased. Grey import devices may also be sold without the endorsement of a recognised brand, as many of them will come with a photocopy of the original certificate for authentication purposes – these devices often miss the step of proper calibration. Genuine versions may also exist, but usually deal with the initial product sourced from a batch older than what current production methods yield. Only the first two options above can yield significant savings for consumers, while both options leave consumers with all the risk associated with these types of products.
FAQ
Do I need to use a DC breaker on my solar array(s) in Bangladesh?
According to the National Electrical Code of Bangladesh (NEC), you must install a DC breaker on the DC side of your solar array. A DC breaker is designed for extinguishing DC arcs and therefore uses a longer arc chute than its AC equivalent to successfully extinguish an arc that does not have a zero-crossing, in addition to using additional plates and parts within the breaker. Therefore, an AC breaker rated to handle the same amount of current will not clear a DC fault reliably and may potentially fail in the closed position.
What kind of certification should a circuit breaker have in Bangladesh?
All circuit breakers on the market in Bangladesh should be tested and certified to the appropriate IEC standards. For miniature circuit breakers, the applicable standard is IEC 60898-1; while for moulded case circuit-breakers, the appropriate standard is IEC 60947-2. Your certificate for a circuit breaker should name the model and manufacturer exactly as it appears on the breaker itself. The Bureau of Standards and Technical Information has a number of local entities that certify products for local sale. When bidding on commercial projects, you should expect to have been asked to provide test report(s) and batch markings together with your circuit breaker certificates.

Kesimpulan
The cost of circuit breakers in Bangladesh is driven by type, rating, the supplier’s brand tier, along with any Applicable/Tariff duty and VAT stacks. For example, miniature breakers tend to cost comparatively low due to the small size of the device and the availability of common mechanisms associated with them; whereas a moulded case circuit breaker rated at 250A will cost nearly THIRTY times more due to the differences in the added complexity and expensively fabricated components associated to the product. The price is always going to be important, however, the more important question to answer is which supplier will give you a traceable certificate and accept this device back if it fails for any reason whatsoever.
In a market where grey imports and counterfeit devices are widespread and common, the only two things you have on your devices that cannot easily be copied or faked are the certificate P/N and Batch Mark, therefore, paying for those two items is certainly a good investment in your equipment and reputation.
