Why choose it

This MCB combines reliable overload and short-circuit protection with VDE certification, ensuring compliance with European safety standards. Its B curve is optimized for circuits with low inrush currents, such as lighting and socket outlets in residential and commercial buildings. The 6 kA breaking capacity handles typical fault levels in final circuits, while the screw terminals accommodate a wide range of conductor sizes for flexible installation.

Ideal use cases

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and offices
• Socket outlet circuits with moderate loads
• Control circuits in industrial panels
• Retrofit and new installations in DIN rail consumer units

Good to know

The device features a clear ON/OFF position indicator for quick status identification. Its compact single-module width (18 mm) saves space in distribution boards. With a mechanical endurance of 20,000 operations, it offers long-term reliability. The IP20 rating means it is intended for installation inside an enclosure, protecting against solid objects larger than 12.5 mm but not against water.
