Type C characteristic offers short circuit response of 5-10 x normal rated current, making it ideal for circuits with higher inrush currents such as motor control and fluorescent lighting installations in industrial buildings where nuisance tripping might occur if a faster type was used.

DIN rail mounting
Complies with BS EN 60898
Operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C
Standard 17.5mm width
Max. operating voltage: 440Vac, 60Vdc

Looking for a compact protection solution for your electronic circuits? Choose this miniature circuit breaker from ABB. With dimensions of 85 (H) x 17.5 (W) x 69mm (D), it's suitable for use in setups with limited space. The device works by monitoring single-phase networks and cutting power in the event of an overcurrent or short-circuit, preventing damage and prolonging the lifespan of attached appliances. It has type-C tripping characteristics, which means that it's triggered instantly at five to ten times its 10A-rated current, making this a suitable option for applications that experience some electrical inrush.
