• 400V-rated AC voltage for low-voltage applications
• Broad operating temperature range of -25°C to +55°C
How does an MCB work?
A miniature circuit breaker contains a bi-metallic strip. When an overcurrent passes through, this strip is heated and bends, causing it to release a latch which in turn breaks the circuit.
