Features
Tested from ERDA in accordance with IS/IEC 60898-1 and are ISI marked.
CE marking fulfils the requirement of Global Standard.
Protection against Over Load & Short Circuit.
Environment friendly, meets the ROHS compliance as defined by the European Standard
Shock Proof: Finger and Hand touch safe.
All moulded parts made from fire resistance engineering plastic ensures protection against Heating and Strong impact.
Watt Loss value are much lower than the specific values of IS/IEC Consumes less power, thus cost effective and energy saving.
A quick make & Break trip free mechanism.
Bi-connect terminals at both sides giving a choice of using either a busbar or a cable to make the connection.
Better Arc Quenching values & Cooling system which ensure enhanced shot circuit performance.
Positive Isolation.
Suitable for Residential & Commercial applications.

SAFETY WARNING
- Turn OFF the main switch/isolation device that feeds the entire distribution board (main breaker, main isolator, or service disconnect).
- Lock it off and tag it (“Do not switch on – person working”).
- Test that it is really dead using a reliable voltage tester or multimeter:
- Test before and after touching any terminal.
- Test phase to neutral, phase to earth, and neutral to earth.
- For DC systems: test + to –, + to earth, – to earth.
- Must read 0 V everywhere.
- Test your tester on a known live source before and after (proving dead).
- Use insulated tools and wear appropriate PPE (safety glasses at minimum; insulated gloves if >50 V).
AC MCB (normal household/industrial panels 230 V / 400 V)
- Safe to replace only after the main switch is OFF and voltage is verified 0 V.
- Common mistake: forgetting that some circuits (solar, UPS, generator change-over) can back-feed the board → isolate ALL sources.
- Always replace with exactly the same rating (e.g., 16 A, C-curve, 6 kA or 10 kA) unless a qualified person has recalculated.
DC MCB (solar, battery, EV charger, telecom – 12–1000 V DC)
DC is far more dangerous than AC because arcs do not self-extinguish.
Extra rules for DC:
- Isolate both poles (+ and –) – never rely on a single-pole breaker.
- For solar PV: isolate the array isolator AND the inverter/battery isolator.
- Use only DC-rated MCBs (marked with DC voltage and usually 2-pole or 4-pole).
- Never use an AC MCB on DC – it can explode.
Quick checklist before you touch the MCB
- Main isolator OFF and locked
- Voltage tested = 0 V on both sides of the MCB
- Correct replacement MCB in hand (same brand, rating, curve, poles)
- Insulated tools & PPE worn
If any of the above is not 100 % satisfied → STOP – call a qualified electrician.
Your life is worth a lot more than saving 10 minutes. Stay safe.
