With a 16A rating, the Click MCB 1P 16A 6kA Circuit Breaker manages standard home power loads. Under short-circuit conditions, the 6kA breaking capacity halts current flow before wire damage occurs. This single-pole unit fits 240V systems common in BD apartments.
Key Features
- Fire Redundant Body: Heat-resistant polymers prevent casing ignition during terminal overheating. Stops internal faults from starting external fires.
- Low Arch Tripping: Mechanical linkage reduces internal sparking during contact separation. Extends the internal component lifespan through thousands of cycles.
- 6kA Breaking Capacity: Interrupts fault currents up to 6000 amps instantly. Prevents electrical fires during catastrophic short circuits in the distribution board.
- C-Curve Tripping: Magnetic trip triggers at 5-10 times rated current. Handles the initial power surge from fans or motors without nuisance tripping.
- DIN Rail Mounting: Standardized rear clip attaches to universal metal tracks. Fits into most existing consumer units without requiring modification.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is 6kA breaking capacity enough for home use?
Standard residential setups require 6kA to handle local transformer fault levels safely. This capacity protects 2.5sq mm wiring from melting during a dead short.
Can this breaker handle a 1.5 ton AC?
The 16A rating supports loads up to approximately 3500 watts. Most 1-ton and some 1.5-ton units stay within this limit, but verify the specific AC startup current first.
