Description

Crabtree Loadstar 6MSB Series is made up of Type B 6kA rating Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs), with operating characteristics for effective overload and short circuit protection of domestic, commercial, and light industrial cabling. The MCBs are part of the trusted Crabtree Loadstar series, which is renowned for its reliability, efficiency, and conformity to international standards.

Each of them offers fast circuit breaking in fault conditions with a low level of inconvenience during normal use. The Type B tripping characteristic is best suited against resistive loads such as lighting and socket circuits with low levels of inrush.

Features:

  • Type B Tripping Curve: Trips between 3 and 5 times rated current — suitable for low inrush current applications.

  • 6kA Breaking Capacity: Effective protection against high fault currents.

  • IS/IEC 60898-1 Compliant: Adheres to global safety and performance standards.

  • Compact Design: Saves space in distribution boards.

  • Dual Terminals: Ensures secure and convenient wiring.

  • Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism: Accurate response to both overload and short circuits.

  • Switchgear-grade materials enhance durability and longevity.

  • Clear ON/OFF Indicators: Improves visibility and user safety.

  • Padlocking Option: Allows for added safety during maintenance. 

Comparison Insights:

  • Lower Amp Ratings (6A–16A): Ideal for circuits with sensitive or smaller loads where precise tripping is crucial.

  • Mid-Range (20A–32A): Balanced for typical household and light commercial circuits.

  • Higher Ratings (40A–50A): Suitable for high-demand circuits, ensuring safety under heavy loads.
