Description

The Hager NCN132A is a compact and efficient 32A MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) designed to provide safe and reliable protection for single-phase circuits. Built to handle both overload and short-circuit conditions, it’s a trusted choice for commercial, industrial, and high-demand residential environments.

This breaker features a C curve tripping characteristic, which trips the circuit between 5 to 10 times the rated current. This makes it ideal for circuits that experience moderate inrush currents, such as motor-driven equipment, air conditioning units, fluorescent lighting, and other inductive loads. The C curve ensures the breaker reacts quickly in the event of a fault, while still maintaining stability during normal start-up surges.

The dual breaking capacity is one of the key features of the NCN132A:

  • 10kA in accordance with IEC/EN 60898

  • 15kA in accordance with IEC/EN 60947-2

This ensures the device is suitable for a wide range of environments, including installations with higher prospective fault currents.

With a 1-module width, this MCB fits easily into standard DIN rail-mounted consumer units and distribution boards. The compact design makes it an excellent space-saving option for both new installations and upgrades. Clear markings and secure screw terminals ensure quick and error-free installation.

Key features:

  • 32A rated current

  • Single pole (1P) protection

  • C curve – 5 to 10× inrush tolerance

  • Dual-rated: 10kA / 15kA breaking capacity

  • 1-module width

  • Thermal and magnetic tripping mechanisms

  • DIN rail compatible

  • Fully compliant with IEC/EN 60898 & 60947-2

  • Ideal for HVAC, lighting, and motor circuits

The Hager NCN132A 32A MCB is the ideal solution for safe, regulation-compliant circuit protection in demanding environments. For any installation requiring robust 32A MCB protection, this breaker delivers reliable performance with minimal footprint.

Frequently asked questions

An MCB is an electromechanical device used to protect electrical circuits from overcurrents. It automatically switches off the circuit if the current exceeds a predetermined threshold, thereby preventing damage to wiring, appliances, and other connected equipment.

MCBs are typically used in the consumer unit (fuse box) of single-phase installations. They protect individual circuits that supply power to sockets, lighting, appliances, and other electrical loads within homes, offices, and small businesses.

MCBs are essential for electrical safety in single-phase systems as they prevent overheating and potential fire hazards caused by excessive current flow. They ensure that circuits are automatically disconnected in case of faults such as short circuits or overloads.

When selecting an MCB for a single-phase system, consider:

  • Current Rating: Choose an MCB with a current rating that matches or slightly exceeds the maximum current expected in the circuit it protects.
  • Breaking Capacity: Ensure the MCB has a sufficient breaking capacity to safely interrupt the maximum fault current that could occur in the circuit.
  • Tripping Curve: Select the tripping curve (e.g., B, C, or D) based on the type of load and expected inrush currents to prevent unnecessary tripping.

MCBs used in single-phase installations should comply with relevant standards such as BS EN 60898 or BS EN 60947-2, depending on whether they are intended for domestic or industrial applications. Compliance ensures reliability and safety in operation.
