Choose this MCB from Eaton to protect your electrical equipment against overcurrent, short circuits and overloads. As you can reset this device after it interrupts a fault, it doesn't need frequent replacement. For safety during installation and use, the unit's frame is insulated and will protect you against the risk of shocks. This Type-C breaker instantly trips five to ten times its rated current of 8A, which makes it a good choice for equipment that experiences high inductive loads, like small motors and fluorescent lighting systems.

• IP20-rated enclosure is protected against touch and objects larger than 12mm
• Snaps onto a DIN rail for quick and easy installation
• Compact dimensions of 35 (L) x 80 (W) x 60mm (D) for maximum board-packing efficiency
• Meets EN 60898 standards for overcurrent protection in household installations

A short circuit occurs when a current leaves its normal path and takes a shorter path back to its power source. As a result, the circuit's normal full load current is exceeded and this causes overload.
