FAQ

A DC circuit breaker is specifically designed to extinguish a DC arc, which is more difficult to interrupt than an AC arc because DC current does not pass through zero. The C60H-DC uses mechanisms like permanent magnets to stretch and cool the arc, ensuring a safe interruption. Using an AC breaker in a DC circuit can be a serious fire hazard.

The 'C' refers to the tripping curve of the breaker. A C-curve MCB is designed to trip between 5 to 10 times its rated current (2A in this case). This makes it suitable for general purpose applications with moderate inrush currents, such as resistive and inductive loads.

No, a 2-pole MCB is designed to protect a single circuit by simultaneously disconnecting both the positive and negative conductors. It should not be used to protect two independent circuits, as this would violate safety standards and compromise the linked trip mechanism, which is essential for proper protection.
