The Acti9 series of MCBs by Schneider Electric provides excellent circuit protection particularly in combating short circuits and overload currents. These MCBs are rigorously tested by Schneider and are compliant with standards such as IEC/EN 60898 & 60947-2. These types of MCBs are typically used in industrial or commercial buildings and can work extremely well in polluted environments.

Say so long to short-circuit and overload faults with this MCB from Schneider Electric. It uses a bimetallic strip to break your circuit and quickly stop the flow of electricity when it's exposed to excess current. This helps prevent device damage and keeps workers safe by reducing the risk of fire. As the unit's resettable via a simple toggle switch, it's up and running quickly after a trip and there's no need to replace any fuses. Thanks to its electrical and mechanical durability of 10,000 and 20,000 cycles respectively, you can trust this is a hardwearing option.

• Handy contact position and trip indicators keep you up to date on circuit status
• As a 1-pole device, it protects a single piece of connected equipment
• IP20 approval means it's protected against solid objects over 12mm, including your fingers

• Control circuits
• Lighting rigs
• Domestic appliances

As a type-C breaker, this MCB suits powerful electrical devices in commercial or industrial environments where surges are often higher. It trips your circuit when it receives between five and ten times its rated current of 2A, so it's handy for load-drawing applications like motor starting and fluorescent lighting.
