Overcurrent switch Icn=6000A 1P C 16A QuickConnect MCS116

MCS series circuit breaker is a reliable protection for electrical installations, designed for both professional installers and end-users. This model, with a rated current of 16A and C characteristic, provides effective protection against overload and short circuit. The rated breaking capacity of up to 6kA (Icn) guarantees safety in the event of a failure.

Product features and application

This single-pole (1P) circuit breaker is perfect for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and other electrical devices with moderate power requirements. The C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, making it well-suited for starting devices with a motor. Flush mounting combined with compact dimensions (83.40 x 17.50 x 70 mm) makes it easy to integrate with various types of distribution boards. Made of high-quality materials, it meets safety standards and ensures long-term reliability.

QuickConnect technology – saving time and installation convenience

The MCS116 circuit breaker utilizes an innovative QuickConnect connection system. This means that instead of traditional screw connections, wires can simply be plugged into the terminals – significantly reducing installation time and minimizing the risk of errors. The BiConnect system offers both screw terminals (protecting against incorrect connection) and QuickConnect plug-in terminals for phase conductors. Additionally, the QuickSnap latch allows for quick removal without the need to disassemble other components of the distribution board. This solution is appreciated by installers for its efficiency and convenience.

Safety and compliance with standards

The circuit breaker meets the requirements of PN-EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, confirming its high quality and safety of use. It has energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3, providing effective protection against the effects of disturbances in the electrical network. The degree of protection IP20 protects against accidental contact. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV. Suitable for operation at temperatures from -25°C to 70°C. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 to 35 mm² (solid) or from 1 to 25 mm² (stranded) provides flexibility during installation.
