What does B6 mean on a circuit breaker?

The GET Circuit Breaker B6 is used to control and protect the electrical panel. It also controls and protects the other devices from overflowing of electrical power.

What does B16 mean on a circuit breaker?

Long Description: The S802N-B16 is a 2-pole High Performance Circuit breaker with B-characteristic, with cage terminal and a rated current of 16 A. It is a current limiting device with a maximum breaking capacity of 36kA at 240/415V. It can be used for voltages up to 400/690V and in DC as well.

What does Type B mean on MCB?

Type B Miniature Circuit Breakers A type B MCB trips when the current is 3 to 5 times the rated current with an operating time of 0.04 to 13 Seconds. It is used for purely resistive loads that are non-inductive loads or with a very small inductive load which has no considerable amount of inductance.

What does 6000 mean on a MCB?

For example: A value of 6kA means that the circuit breaker can withstand 6,000 amps of current under fault conditions during the brief time it takes to trip the Circuit Breaker.

What is C16 in MCB?

Catalog Description: S801N-C16 High Performance MCB. Long Description: The S801N-C16 is a 1-pole High Performance Circuit breaker with C-characteristic, with cage terminal and a rated current of 16 A. It is a current limiting device with a maximum breaking capacity of 36kA at 240/415V.

What is a Type B breaker?

A Type B MCB is a common type of miniature circuit breaker used to protect low power domestic circuits and residential application from overcurrent and short circuit faults. The MCB trips the circuit and protects the equipment connected in that circuit from high fault current before getting damaged.

What are Type B breakers used for?

Type B circuit breakers are designed to trip if the current flowing through hits between three and five times the recommended maximum or ‘rated load’. This is the most sensitive type of MCB, designed for domestic applications, and low voltage commercial settings where any current surges are likely to be small.

What is the meaning of 10k in MCB?

It is written as in numerals like in in example it is 10000. It means it 10000A = 10kA. Choose breaking capacity as per your fault level possible.
