FAQs
What does the B curve mean?
The B curve indicates the tripping characteristics of the MCB. It trips at 3 to 5 times the rated current and is suitable for general-purpose applications.
What is the breaking capacity?
The breaking capacity is 6kA, which is the maximum fault current the MCB can safely interrupt.
What voltage is this MCB rated for?
This MCB is rated for 230V.
Is this MCB suitable for all types of loads?
It is suitable for general-purpose applications, especially those with resistive loads. Check the specific load requirements to ensure compatibility.
Can I install this MCB myself?
No, installation must be performed by a qualified electrician to comply with safety regulations.
What is the IP rating?
The IP rating is IP20, which provides protection against solid objects but not moisture.
How do I check the terminal torque?
