Core features

  • High-quality miniature circuit breakers for industrial and commercial applications
  • Contact position indicator red - green

  • Rated currents up to 40 A
  • Tripping characteristics B, C, D
  • Rated breaking capacity up to 25 kA according to EN 60947-2

Reliable cable protection

MCBs protect cables against damage due to overload and short circuits: In the event of dangerously high currents, the circuit breaker’s bimetallic thermal release will disconnect the power supply. In the event of a short circuit, the electromagnetic release will disconnect the power supply in a timely manner.

A design that is standard-compliant and quality-tested

Part 1 of IEC/EN 60898 applies to AC MCBs if the rated voltage between the phases does not exceed 440 V, the rated current does not exceed 125 A and the rated breaking capacity does not exceed 25,000 A. Circuit breakers that fall within the scope of IEC/EN 60898-1 are designed to be operated by non-experts. IEC/EN 60947-2 (VDE 0660-101) applies to circuit breakers in circuits with rated voltages up to 1,000 V AC, or up to 1,500 V DC.

The right MCB for every situation

Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic B are the standard MCB type used for lighting and socket outlet circuits. For circuits with high inrush and peak currents (e.g. motors and luminaire banks) devices with tripping characteristic C are used. Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic D are used for circuits with inductive and capacitive loads (solenoid valves, transformers etc.).
