Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, C characteristic, 1-pole, 6A MCN106E

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for your installation

This single-pole circuit breaker from Hager is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overload and short circuit, it offers reliable operation and easy installation. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (AC) guarantees an effective response in emergency situations, minimizing the risk of damage and fire. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating surge currents, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current spikes, therefore tolerating the starting of such devices.

Construction and application

The MCN106E circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail (standard DIN rail) and occupies 1 module width. Its compact dimensions (70 mm deep, 17.5 mm wide and 83 mm high) allow for easy adaptation to various distribution boards. Designed to operate in AC networks with a voltage of 230/400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz, it will work perfectly both in home and commercial installations. It provides protection for wires with a cross-section from 1 to 35 mm² (solid) and from 1 to 25 mm² (stranded). A wide range of operating temperatures (-25°C to +70°C) allows its use in various environmental conditions.
