The OF10KA Series Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is designed to automatically protect electrical circuits against damage caused by excess current, overload, or short circuits, ensuring electrical safety in low-voltage distribution systems.
A 10KA breaking capacity indicates that the circuit breaker is rated to safely interrupt a maximum fault short-circuit current of up to 10,000 Amperes without suffering permanent damage or compromising safety.
2P (2-Pole) breakers protect two single-phase live lines or a live line and neutral; 3P (3-Pole) breakers are designed for three-phase power systems; and 4P (4-Pole) breakers protect three phase lines along with a neutral line.
These miniature circuit breakers are widely utilized in residential distribution boxes, commercial buildings, and industrial electrical panels to protect lighting, power outlets, and heavy equipment circuits.
A 3P breaker is suitable when neutral line switching or isolation is not required in three-phase systems. If system safety regulations demand full isolation of the neutral wire alongside all three phases, a 4P breaker must be selected.
