ELEKTROPLAST NEO OCB/B16/1P Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P B 16A 6kA

The ELEKTROPLAST NEO OCB/B16/1P is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide reliable protection for electrical circuits in residential and commercial environments. This device is designed to monitor current flow and automatically interrupt the power supply in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby safeguarding wiring and connected appliances from potential damage or fire hazards.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers robust performance with a 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity, ensuring it can handle significant electrical faults safely. The B-type tripping characteristic makes it particularly suitable for general-purpose applications where moderate inrush currents are expected. Its compact design allows for efficient space utilization within standard distribution boards, while the durable construction ensures long-term operational reliability and consistent safety standards in various electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting and power socket circuits
• Small commercial office electrical distribution
• Protection of general household appliances
• Sub-distribution boards in buildings

This device is not intended for use in industrial environments requiring high-current motor starting or heavy machinery protection, as the B-type characteristic may trigger prematurely under high inrush loads. It is also not suitable for outdoor installations unless housed in a properly rated, weather-protected enclosure.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 16A
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA
• Mounting type: DIN rail

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The breaker is designed to be snapped onto a standard 35mm DIN rail within a distribution box. Ensure that the supply wires are correctly stripped and securely tightened into the terminal clamps to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch can be used to manually disconnect or reconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16A rating matches the load requirements of your circuit
• Ensure compatibility with your existing DIN rail distribution board
• Confirm that the B-type curve is appropriate for the connected equipment
• Check local electrical codes for installation requirements

For optimal safety and longevity, periodically inspect the circuit breaker for signs of heat damage or loose connections and ensure that the distribution board remains free of dust and moisture.
