Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, C characteristic, 1-pole, 2A MCN102E

Single-pole circuit breaker with a rated current of 2A and C characteristic, providing reliable protection for electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. The device is designed to protect single-phase circuits in residential and commercial buildings. Its compact size – occupying only one module on a DIN rail – allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.

Features and application

This Hager MCN102E circuit breaker is designed with safety and ease of use in mind. The C characteristic provides delayed tripping, which is particularly important for circuits with loads generating inrush currents during start-up, such as motors. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 230V) guarantees effective protection against serious failures. The possibility of flush mounting increases installation flexibility.

It finds application in protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other electrical devices with low power consumption. It is an ideal solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable and easy-to-install protection.

Parameters and benefits

• Rated current: 2A – suitable for protecting circuits with low power consumption.
• C characteristic: provides protection against overloads and short circuits, and also allows for trouble-free starting of devices with motors.
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA at 230V – a high value guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.
• DIN rail mounting: facilitates and speeds up installation and allows for easy replacement if necessary.
• 1 module width: allows for optimal use of space in the distribution board.
• Rated voltage: 400V – universal application in single-phase installations.
• Wire cross-section: possibility to connect rigid wires with a cross-section of 1-35 mm² and stranded wires 1-25 mm².
• Operating temperature: from -25°C to 70°C – ensures reliable operation over a wide range of ambient temperatures.
• Protection degree IP20: protection against finger contact, which increases safety of use.

The circuit breaker meets the requirements of IEC EN 60898-1 standard, which confirms its high quality and safety of use. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV, which further increases its resistance to overvoltages. The energy limitation class is 3, and the surge category is III, which testifies to its solid construction and ability to cope with difficult working conditions.
