Description

The Hager MTN106 MCB provides effective circuit protection in domestic settings. Rated at 6 A with a Type B tripping curve, it responds swiftly to fault currents between 3× and 5× its rated load. Its 6 kA breaking capacity satisfies EN 60898-1 safety requirements, while its small form factor ensures it fits easily inside consumer units. Since it mounts directly on a DIN rail, electricians can install it quickly and professionally.

Key Features of the Hager MTN106 MCB

  • Single-Pole Design: Controls individual circuits with precision.

  • Type B Curve: Delivers reliable protection for common household appliances.

  • 6 kA Breaking Power: Minimizes risk from high fault currents.

  • DIN-Rail Mountable: Enables fast, secure installation.

  • Space-Saving Width: At just 17.5 mm wide, it conserves panel space.

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.
