Circuit breaker E.NEXT e.mcb.pro.60 1P C16A 6kA (EX-P042008) — miniature overcurrent protection 1-pole, 16 A, C curve, 6 kA

E.NEXT e.mcb.pro.60 1P C16A 6kA is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered for overcurrent protection in residential and light-commercial electrical installations. Rated for 16 A with a C-type tripping characteristic and a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, this device is intended to protect lighting circuits, socket outlets and small appliances. The compact form factor fits standard DIN-rail distribution boards and is suitable for circuit segregation and selective protection within consumer units.

Advantages

This miniature overcurrent protector combines a clear C tripping curve for general-purpose protection with a rated current of 16 A, providing dependable interruption of overloads and short circuits up to 6 kA. Its single-pole design simplifies installation in single-phase circuits while occupying minimal DIN-rail space. The device is designed to integrate with common distribution boards and provides consistent mechanical actuation and reset functionality for routine maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Lighting circuits in homes and small commercial spaces
• Socket outlet protection for general-purpose appliances
• Segregation of branch circuits in distribution boards
• Protection of small motors and equipment with inrush currents compatible with a C curve
• Retrofit or new installations in standard DIN-rail enclosures

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole configuration for single-phase circuits
• Rated current: 16 A
• Tripping characteristic: C curve (general-purpose with moderate inrush tolerance)
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA short-circuit interrupting capability
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail compatible housing
• Intended use: overcurrent protection for lighting, sockets and small appliances

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board, ensuring correct orientation and secure terminal connections. Connect the phase conductor to the breaker input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, observing proper torque values and local wiring regulations. Use the manual toggle to switch the circuit on and off; after a trip, identify and remove the fault condition before resetting the device. Regularly inspect connections for tightness and signs of overheating as part of routine maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, match the breaker’s 16 A rating and C tripping characteristic to the expected continuous load and inrush currents of connected equipment. Ensure coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices and comply with applicable electrical codes when selecting this miniature circuit breaker for new or existing installations.
