Need a break from electrical hazards in your workplace? Protect people and appliances from irregular currents with this MCB from Schneider Electric. When the device detects short circuits, earth leakage or overload, the three poles trip, preventing damage to connected equipment. As this handy unit has type-C tripping characteristics, it breaks the circuit when the load is between five and ten times the 20A rated current. This means you'll be spared a trip to the fuse box in the event of a sudden surge.

• Electrical endurance of up to 10,000 cycles for long-lasting performance
• Toggle actuator allows you to reset the system at the flick of a switch, minimising downtime
• Breaking capacity of up to 15kA to withstand even the most demanding overcurrents

• Domestic appliances
• Automotive manufacture
• Lighting circuits

The Schneider Electric's C60SP Series are multi-standard miniature circuit breakers and supplementary protection as defined by UL 1077. It has function such as tripping and electrical fault indication by the addition of auxiliaries.

As it measures just 81 (H) x 54 (W) x 72mm (D) in size, this component puts the 'miniature' in 'miniature circuit breaker'.

This MCB has an IP20 rating, so you can rest assured that it's touch-proof and protected against objects over 12mm.
