Need robust protection against equipment failure caused by electrical surges? Opt for this MCB from Eaton. As it has D-type tripping characteristics, it trips at 10 to 20 times its current rating of 16A, making it suitable for use in heavy-duty applications like control instrumentation and fluorescent lighting. An IP40 rating indicates the unit is protected against wires and tools larger than 1mm in size, reducing the risk of electric shocks during installation and maintenance.

• Designed for DIN rail mounting for ease of installation
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +75°C for use in demanding environments

There are several factors to consider when choosing your MCB. You should select a unit that has a breaking capacity and tripping characteristics that match the likely strength of any surges that may occur in your system. The MCB should also have an appropriate pole configuration for the number of circuits it will need to break in the event of an overload.
