Product details

It carries a 25 kA interrupting capacity at 230 V AC (both Icu and Ics), built to BS EN 60947-2 for isolation suitability.

That is a high-capacity short-circuit rating for a single-pole distribution breaker, suited for high-fault-capacity panels. The 8 kV impulse withstand (Uimp) confirms it handles transient overvoltages common in industrial mains.

Panel-mounted via backplate, with horizontal or vertical orientation allowed. It occupies a single 35 mm module width. The toggle control is manual; no auxiliary contacts or earth-leakage module are integrated. Rated insulation voltage is 750 V, giving headroom for the 230 V circuit.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of MGP1601L1?

The MGP1601L1 has a 25 kA ultimate (Icu) and service (Ics) short-circuit breaking capacity at 230 V AC, 50/60 Hz. This is a high rating for a single-pole distribution MCCB.

What standard does MGP1601L1 comply with?

The MGP1601L1 is built and certified to BS EN 60947-2, the standard for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear — specifically molded case circuit breakers. It is also suitable for isolation per that standard.

Where can I buy MGP1601L1?

The MGP1601L1 is obsolete from the manufacturer but is sourced through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current availability and pricing — confirmed at quote time.
