SQUARE D 16 AMP TYPE B 6 KA MCB CIRCUIT BREAKER 220/240V QOE BS EN 60898

Product Information

For example, the BS EN 60898-1 standard describes B, C and D operating curves with ratio to rated current. But the BS EN 60947-2 standard prescribes an instantaneous tripping release which may be provided with a plus or minus 20% tolerance and adjustable as illustrated in Fig. 1. For this reason, manufacturers provide additional curves K, Z and MA to the B, C and D curves. For the protection of loads that cause frequent short duration (approximately 400 ms to 2 s) current peaks in normal operation.

Miniature circuit breaker (MCB)—rated current up to 125 A. Trip characteristics normally not adjustable. Thermal or thermal-magnetic operation. Breakers illustrated above are in this category.

Retrieved 9 July 2012.Low-voltage (less than 1,000 V AC) types are common in domestic, commercial and industrial application, and include: Any installer who plans to substitute a different cb must obtain authority from the assembly manufacturer to do so in compliance with Regulation 536.4.203. Otherwise, responsibility for the testing and integrity of the compatibility between devices would be down to the contractor. When this is not carried out, there is a probability that, in the event of an accident, fire or other damage, the installer would be accountable under Health and Safety Legislation.

For low voltage distribution circuit breakers, International Standards, IEC 60898-1 defines the rated current as the maximum current that the breaker is designed to carry continuously. The commonly available preferred values for the rated current are 1 A, 2 A, 4 A, 6A, 10A, 13A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, 63A, 80A, 100A, [5] and 125A. The circuit breaker is labeled with the rated current in amperes prefixed by a letter, which indicates the instantaneous tripping current that causes the circuit breaker to trip without intentional time delay expressed in multiples of the rated current: Circuit-breakers to BS EN 60898-1 may look identical to those complying with BS EN 60947-2 but they are not necessarily inter-changeable.A comprehensive online collection of construction related standards, regulations, technical advice and articles Stotz miniature circuit breaker and domestic appliances", ABB, 2006-01-09, accessed 4 July 2011".

They are no longer seen in new installations as they cannot detect any dangerous condition where the current is returning to earth by another route - such as via a person on the ground or via plumbing.
