Crabtree Loadstar Type C 3-Phase MCBs are high-capacity Miniature Circuit Breakers that are intended for commercial and light industrial use where medium inrush currents are common. Type C breakers trip between 5 to 10 times the rated current and are best suited for inductive loads such as motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting circuits.
These MCBs provide efficient protection against short-circuiting and overload with nominal downtime and easy integration into Loadstar distribution systems.
Type C Trip Characteristic: Suitable for moderate inductive loads with short start-up surges.
Breaking Capacity: Up to 10kA at 400V AC – ideal for high-fault-level systems.
Voltage Rating: 400V AC (3-phase)
Poles: Single pole (SP)
Thermal & Magnetic Protection: Dual mechanism ensures quick response under overload or short-circuit conditions.
DIN Rail Mounting: Tool-free and quick installation into Loadstar consumer units or panels.
Trip-Free Mechanism: Operates independently of the toggle position for safety.
Standards: Conforms to IEC 60898-1 and EN 60947-2
