• Capable of handling short-circuit breaking capacities of up to 10kA
• Offers an operational temperature range from -25°C to 75°C
• Compatible with conductor cross-sections of up to 25mm²
• Features a toggle switch for easy reset and manual operation
Applications
• Used for protection in residential switchgear systems
• Ideal for commercial electrical installations needing reliable breakers
• Suitable for requiring 40A circuit protection
• Designed for use in environments with varying temperature conditions
What is the significance of the Type C tripping characteristic?
The Type C tripping characteristic allows the circuit breaker to handle moderate overloads while providing protection against short circuits, making it suitable for applications with inductive loads.
How does the breaking capacity affect circuit safety?
A breaking capacity of 10kA indicates that the MCB can safely interrupt short-circuit currents up to this rating without failure, ensuring circuit integrity and preventing fire hazards.
What installation considerations should be taken for optimal performance?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to ensure proper space on the DIN rail for heat dissipation and to follow the correct guidelines for conductor termination and securing to maintain effectiveness in circuit protection.
