Product details

What this MCB is for

Mounts on standard DIN rail, any position, and takes 18 mm of panel width — one modular unit.

Ratings that matter for fit

The D curve is the headline: magnetic trip between 10× and 20× In, so it's the right choice for circuits feeding motors, elevators, or X-ray machines where the starting current spike is short but high. The dual breaking capacity rating means it's certified for both the residential standard (EN 60898, 10 kA) and the industrial standard (IEC 60947-2, 15 kA) — the higher figure governs when the MCB is applied in an industrial panel under the IEC 60947-2 scope. Rated insulation voltage 440 V AC, pollution degree 3, overvoltage category III — all standard for a distribution board in a factory or commercial building.

Panel integration and environment

Snaps onto standard mounting rail, 18 mm wide, 70 mm deep — fits into any 1-module slot in a consumer unit or sub-distribution board. Combined tunnel terminals top and bottom accept copper conductors; tighten to 3.5 Nm. IP20 with connected conductors, IP40 in the handle range — fine for enclosed panels; not for wet washdown areas. Vibration tested to 50 m/s² at 25–150 Hz and 60 m/s² at 35 Hz for 4 seconds — survives shipping and moderate machine vibration. Sealable for tamper-proof applications.

Frequently asked questions

What breaking capacity does it have, and which standard applies?

It carries 10 kA per EN 60898 and 15 kA per IEC 60947-2. The IEC 60947-2 rating governs when it's applied in an industrial panel under that standard's scope.

What does the D tripping characteristic mean for my application?

The D curve trips magnetically between 10× and 20× rated current, so it's designed for loads with high inrush like motors, transformers, and welding equipment. It avoids nuisance tripping on startup spikes that would trip a B or C curve.

What is the physical size and how does it mount?

It's 18 mm wide, 70 mm deep, 90 mm high, and snaps onto standard mounting rail in any position. One modular unit width.
