Crabtree Starbreaker MCB Type C 6kA – 6A to 50A
Description
Crabtree Starbreaker Type C MCB series offers high-immunity protection for circuits with comparatively moderate inrush currents and, therefore, can be utilized in domestic, commercial, and light industrial applications. Integrating easily into Starbreaker consumer units, the single-pole MCBs ensure assured overload and short-circuit protection with a breaking capacity of 6kA.
With Type C tripping characteristics, they can sustain greater surge currents (trip at 5 to 10 times rated current) and hence are suitable for motor, transformer, and inductive load circuits.
Features:
-
Type C tripping curve – Trips at 5–10× rated current, suitable for inductive or motor loads
-
6kA short circuit breaking capacity – Provides dependable fault protection
-
Single Pole (1P) – For single-phase circuit protection
-
Fully compatible with Crabtree Starbreaker consumer units
-
Plug-in connection – Fast, safe installation with Crabtree plug-in busbar systems
-
Compact modular design – Saves space and simplifies board layout
-
ON/OFF toggle with visual status indicator
-
Compliant with BS EN 60898 – Adheres to UK and EU electrical standards
