Is this the right one for you?

Check these five things before you order:

• You are protecting one single-phase circuit from the distribution board (single pole).
• Your load suits a C curve: general and mixed loads (ACs, pumps, motors, lighting banks).
• The prospective short-circuit current where the MCB is fitted does not exceed 6 kA.
• The rating you need is 6, 10, 16, 20, 25 or 32 A - the rating must suit the cable it protects.
• The installation does not call for a 10 kA breaker - for higher fault levels use the 10 kA range.

Why choose the Polycab 6kA C-Curve SP MCB

• Finger-proof IP20 terminals
• Air-flow channels to keep the breaker cool
• 13-plate arc chute for quick arc quenching
• Line-load reversibility - it can be fed from the top or the bottom
• Energy limiting class 3 and low power loss, as Polycab's catalogue lists for the 6 kA range
• Polycab item code and MRP for every rating, so the order matches the drawing - GMM601P001 to GMM601P006

How to choose and fit it

Tripping curve. Under IS/IEC 60898-1, a B-curve MCB trips instantly at 3 to 5 times its rated current, a C-curve at 5 to 10 times and a D-curve at 10 to 20 times. This C-curve breaker trips instantly at 5 to 10 times its rating, which suits mixed loads with a moderate switch-on surge - air conditioners, refrigerators, pumps, small motors and banks of LED or fluorescent lighting; it is the most widely used curve.

Poles. A single pole MCB is used for a single-phase final circuit - it protects the phase conductor of one circuit leaving the distribution board. In the 6 kA C-curve range Polycab lists SP, SPN, DP, TP and FP.

Breaking capacity. 6 kA is the largest short-circuit current the breaker can safely interrupt. Choose a breaking capacity at least equal to the prospective fault current where it is fitted - your electrician or consultant checks this at the board.

Rating. The MCB rating must be above the normal current of the load and must not exceed the current-carrying capacity of the cable it protects. As a rough guide in homes: 6 A or 10 A for lighting, 16 A for power sockets and 20 A or 25 A for an air conditioner or geyser circuit; the cable size and the load decide the final choice.

Mounting. It clips on a standard DIN rail inside a distribution board or MCB enclosure.

Where it is used

• final circuits in homes, flats, offices and shops - lighting, fan, socket and appliance circuits
• outgoing ways of SPN and TPN distribution boards
• air conditioners, refrigerators and other mixed loads
• homes, flats and small shops

Frequently asked questions

What does "C curve" mean on an MCB?

It describes how quickly the breaker trips on a surge. Under IS/IEC 60898-1 a C-curve MCB trips instantly at 5 to 10 times its rated current, which suits general and mixed loads (ACs, pumps, motors, lighting banks). B trips at 3 to 5 times, C at 5 to 10 times and D at 10 to 20 times the rating.

Which pole type do I need?

SP protects one single-phase circuit; SPN switches the neutral together with the phase; DP switches and protects phase and neutral of a single-phase supply; TP is for three-phase loads without neutral; TPN switches the neutral together with the three phases; FP switches all four poles of a three-phase supply with neutral and is the usual incomer of a TPN distribution board. This page is the single pole (SP) version; in the 6 kA C-curve range Polycab lists SP, SPN, DP, TP and FP.

Should I choose a 10 kA or a 6 kA MCB?

Choose a breaking capacity at least equal to the prospective short-circuit current at the board. 6 kA is common in homes; 10 kA is the safer choice for commercial buildings, boards close to the transformer and industrial supplies. Polycab makes the SP C-curve MCB in both.

Do I still need an RCCB with an MCB?

Yes, for protection against electric shock and earth-leakage fires. An MCB protects against overload and short circuit only; an RCCB (or an RCBO, which combines both) detects current leaking to earth.

What is the MRP of the Polycab 32 A 6kA C-curve SP MCB?
