Circuit breaker Polot MCN110E 1P C 10A 6kA AC

The Polot MCN110E 1P C 10A 6kA AC is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. With a C characteristic tripping curve and a rated current of 10 A, this breaker provides dependable protection for lighting and socket circuits in residential and light commercial distribution boards. The device has a breaking capacity of 6 kA (AC), meeting common requirements for small-scale installations.

Advantages

The Polot MCN110E combines a compact footprint with standard DIN-rail mounting compatibility, allowing straightforward installation in distribution panels. Its C characteristic offers balanced sensitivity for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting circuits with electronic transformers or motor-starting loads. The 6 kA breaking capacity ensures the device can interrupt typical short-circuit currents found in small buildings, while the clearly marked on/off toggle simplifies manual operation and inspection.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in residential buildings
• Protection of socket outlets and general-purpose circuits
• Small commercial or office distribution boards with moderate fault levels
• Applications requiring a C characteristic (moderate inrush tolerance)

When it may not be suitable

This single-pole 10 A breaker is not intended for use as a main switch or in three-phase distribution setups where multi-pole coordination is required. It may not be suitable for circuits with very high short-circuit levels that exceed 6 kA, or where a different tripping characteristic (B, D, or selective curve) or higher rated current is necessary. For specialized industrial loads or motor protection beyond moderate inrush, a dedicated motor protection device or a breaker with a different characteristic should be considered.

Key specifications

• Poles: 1 (single-pole)
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Rated current: 10 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA (AC)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible (standard miniature circuit breaker footprint)
• Application: Overload and short-circuit protection for lighting and socket circuits

How to use

Install the Polot MCN110E on a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the distribution board, ensuring the supply and load conductors are connected to the correct terminals and tightened to the recommended torque. Verify the protective earth and neutral arrangements in the panel comply with local regulations before energizing. Use the toggle to switch the circuit on and off; the device will trip automatically in the event of an overload or short circuit. After a trip, identify and clear the fault before resetting the breaker manually.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the 10 A rated current matches the expected load of the circuit
• Ensure the 6 kA breaking capacity is sufficient for the installation's prospective short-circuit level
• Verify that a C characteristic is appropriate for devices with moderate inrush currents on the circuit
• Check physical dimensions and DIN-rail space available in the distribution board

Usage recommendations

Use this breaker for branch circuits with typical residential or light commercial loads. Pair it with proper upstream protection and coordinated earthing. After any trip, inspect the circuit and connected equipment before resetting to ensure safe operation.
