Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, characteristic C, 1-pole, 16A MCN116E

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable installation protection

This single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker from Hager, with a rated current of 16A and C characteristic, is a key element of every safe electrical installation. It provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits, protecting both wires and connected devices. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees a quick response in emergency situations.

The MCN116E circuit breaker has been designed with ease of installation and use in mind. The compact design (1 module wide) allows for optimal use of space in the distribution board. Screw terminals ensure secure and durable wire connections with a cross-section from 1 to 35 mm² (solid core) or from 1 to 25 mm² (stranded). Thanks to the rated voltage of 400V and frequency of 50-60Hz, the circuit breaker is compatible with most standard electrical installations.

Application and benefits:

• Overload protection: Protects circuits from damage caused by excessive current draw.
• Short-circuit protection: Reacts quickly to a short circuit, disconnecting the circuit and minimizing the risk of fire or equipment damage.
• C characteristic: Ideal for circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as motors, transformers or certain types of lighting. The C characteristic allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in residential, commercial and industrial construction.
• Safety: Compliance with EN 60898-1 standards ensures a high level of safety.
• Installation: Easy mounting on TH35 rail thanks to standard module dimensions.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials, guaranteeing long life and reliable operation.

Construction features and parameters:

The MCN116E circuit breaker is characterized by a solid construction and precise workmanship. The energy limitation class is 3, and the surge category is III, which provides adequate protection in various operating conditions. The IP20 protection degree protects against finger contact, but does not provide protection against the effects of water or dust. The ambient operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to 70°C, which allows the circuit breaker to be used in various climatic conditions. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is as much as 4kV, which further increases the safety of using the device. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn is 6kA at a voltage of 230V and Icu is also 6kA at a voltage of 230V according to IEC 60947-2.
