FAQs

1) What is a C-curve MCB?

C-curve MCB trips at 5-10 times the rated current during short circuit conditions. This makes it suitable for general-purpose applications with moderate inrush currents like lighting, power outlets, and most household appliances.

2) How do I choose the right pole configuration and current rating?

Select the pole configuration based on your circuit type — 1 Pole for single-phase circuits, 2 Pole for split single-phase or DC applications, 3 Pole for three-phase circuits without neutral protection, and 4 Pole for three-phase circuits with neutral protection. Then select the current rating (10A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 40A, or 63A) to match your circuit load and cable size — the rating should be equal to or slightly higher than the circuit load but not exceed the cable's current-carrying capacity.

3) What is the difference between B, C, and D curve MCBs?

The curve indicates the current level required for an instantaneous trip: B-Curve (3-5x) for resistive loads like heaters and long cable runs; C-Curve (5-10x) for general residential and commercial use (lighting, PCs, and appliances); D-Curve (10-20x) for high-induction loads like large motors and transformers. C-curve is the standard choice for most modern building installations.

4) What is the breaking capacity of the Schneider C60H MCB?

The "H" in the C60H series stands for High Breaking Capacity, which is typically 10kA (10,000 Amps) at 240V/415V AC. This means the MCB can safely interrupt a massive fault current of up to 10,000 Amps without being damaged or failing. This high rating makes it a robust choice for both residential and demanding commercial environments where electrical safety is a priority.

5) How do I install an MCB in a distribution board?

Snap the MCB onto the 35mm DIN rail. Connect the incoming supply and outgoing circuit to the terminals — Schneider C60H units are bi-directional, so power can be fed from the top or bottom. Ensure all terminals are torqued tightly to prevent overheating.
