Product details

It switches the neutral conductor, making it suited for single-phase or three-phase circuits where the neutral must be protected.

Breaking capacity and standards

This MCB carries dual breaking-capacity ratings: 10 kA under IEC 60898-1 (the household-and-similar standard) and 35 kA under IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard). For DC circuits it is rated 15 kA per IEC 60947-2, and under UL 1077 / CSA C22.2 No. 235 it delivers 5 kA.

The quick-assembly fastening method and any mounting position simplify panel layout. IP20 with connected conductors means the busbar area is touch-safe once wired; no special sealing for washdown environments.

The surrounding-temperature influence table gives derating guidance above 55 °C.

Frequently asked questions
