Overcurrent circuit breaker Icn=6000A 3P C 16A QuickConnect MCS316

Overcurrent switch for every installation

This three-pole overcurrent switch from Hager's MCS series is a reliable protection for electrical installations. Designed to protect circuits with a rated current of 16A, it offers a high short-circuit breaking capacity of up to 6kA, ensuring an effective response in the event of overloads and short circuits. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating inrush currents, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, while ensuring rapid intervention in the event of prolonged overloads.

Quick installation and high functionality

The MCS316 switch features a QuickConnect system, which significantly speeds up and simplifies installation. This allows installers to save valuable time, and replacing a damaged switch becomes easier and faster. This system eliminates the need to screw wires, replacing it with an intuitive plug-in system. Additionally, the rear BiConnect terminal with screw fixing provides additional safety and protects against incorrect wiring.

Safety and compliance with standards

The switch meets the requirements of EN 60898-1, guaranteeing a high level of safety. Energy limitation class 3 and protection degree IP20 provide protection against the effects of short circuits and external factors. A width of 3 modules allows for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Rated voltage 400V and rated impulse withstand voltage 4kV confirm its reliability in various operating conditions. Designed to operate in ambient temperature from -25°C to 70°C, making it a universal solution for various applications.
