Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, C characteristic, 1-pole, 63A MCN163E

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for your installation

This single-pole circuit breaker from Hager, with a rated current of 63A and C characteristic, is a key element in protecting the electrical installation. It provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to equipment and fires. Its compact design (1 module wide) makes it easy to install in distribution boards, and its high short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA) guarantees safety even in difficult conditions.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with C characteristic is characterized by a delayed response time to overloads, which makes it ideal for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as motors, transformers or heating devices. This will avoid unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker when starting these devices. It will work both in domestic and industrial installations where reliable protection against failures is required.

• Versatility: Suitable for protecting various types of circuits, including lighting, socket outlets and electrical appliances.
• Application in difficult conditions: Designed to operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures (-25°C to 70°C).
• Flush mounting: Allows for aesthetic and discreet placement of the circuit breaker in the wall.
• Safety: Compliant with IEC 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, ensuring a high level of safety.
• Wires: Possibility of connecting solid wires with a cross-section of 1-35 mm² and stranded wires 1-25 mm².

Construction and technical parameters

The circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, which guarantees its durability and reliability. It has energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3, which provides effective protection against the effects of current surges. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V, and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV. The IP20 degree of protection protects against finger contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. It is equipped with screw terminals with a tightening torque of 2.8 Nm for solid and stranded wires. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn is 6kA at 230V AC (according to PN-EN 60947-2) and 10kA according to IEC 60947-2 at 230V.
