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.

Insert this MCB from Schneider Electric in your circuit to shield personnel and equipment from overcurrents. Type C tripping characteristics mean it trips at five to 10 times its rated current of 25A. This makes it ideal for protecting a wide range of appliances, from lighting circuits to single-phase motors. The toggle features a VisiSafe green strip that lets you open the contact for safe downstream maintenance. Clip this breaker onto a DIN rail to make mounting a breeze.

• Securable with a padlock to protect against unauthorised use
• Trip indicator lets you see at a glance whether the circuit is energised
• Rated voltage of 240V AC means it's compatible with the UK mains supply

• HVAC systems
• Commercial buildings
• Domestic lighting

A short circuit is an unintended direct connection between conductors that causes a sudden flow of current, often due to damaged wiring. An overload results from excessive current drawn over time, usually because there are too many devices on a single circuit. This poses a fire hazard as it overheats circuits. Thanks to its thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism, this MCB protects against both short circuits and overloads.
