FAQ

The 'C' refers to the tripping characteristic of the circuit breaker. A C-curve MCB is designed to trip at 5 to 10 times its rated current (16A). This makes it suitable for applications with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting, standard socket outlets, and small motors.

The breaking capacity is 10,000 Amperes (10 kA). This is the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt without being damaged. A 10 kA rating is high and indicates suitability for industrial and commercial environments where potential short-circuit currents can be substantial.

While technically possible, a 10 kA rated MCB is typically specified for industrial or commercial use. Residential installations often use MCBs with a 6 kA rating. It is crucial to use a breaker that matches the requirements of the specific electrical installation and local regulations.
