Description
The Hager NCN116A is a compact and high-quality 16A MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) built for protecting single-phase circuits from overload and short-circuit conditions. Designed for use in commercial and light industrial applications, it delivers reliable and standards-compliant protection in a space-saving format.
This breaker features a C curve tripping characteristic, which causes the device to trip between 5 and 10 times its rated current. This makes it particularly suited for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as small motors, fans, transformers, and fluorescent lighting. The C curve ensures the circuit is not tripped unnecessarily during equipment startup, while still offering fast disconnection in case of faults.
The NCN116A offers dual breaking capacity ratings:
-
10kA in accordance with IEC/EN 60898
-
15kA in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-2
This dual compliance makes the NCN116A suitable for a range of environments, including domestic distribution boards, commercial offices, retail units, and light industrial installations. It is ideal for situations where higher fault currents may be present.
The 1-module width allows for easy DIN rail installation, with clearly marked terminals and solid screw connections that ensure fast and secure wiring. The device is fully compliant with UK wiring regulations (18th Edition) and manufactured to Hager’s high engineering standards.
