FAQ

What is the difference between a C-curve and a B-curve circuit breaker?

A C-curve breaker, like this Legrand 4202 08, is designed for general purpose applications with moderate inrush currents, like lighting and standard outlets. It trips between 5 and 10 times the rated current. A B-curve breaker is more sensitive, tripping between 3 and 5 times the rated current, and is used for resistive loads with little to no inrush current.

Both ratings refer to the breaker's short-circuit breaking capacity. The '6000' (or 6kA) under the IEC 60898-1 standard is for residential use, while 'Icu=6 kA' (Ultimate Breaking Capacity) under the IEC 60947-2 standard is for industrial applications. It means the device can safely interrupt a fault current of 6000 Amperes without being destroyed.

No, this is a 1P+N (single pole + neutral) breaker. It is specifically designed for single-phase circuits that have both a phase (live) and a neutral conductor. The neutral pole is switched along with the phase pole, providing full isolation. Using it without a neutral would be incorrect and potentially unsafe.
