Description
Hager MCN116E – Miniature Circuit Breaker C 16A 1P 6kA
Hager MCN116E is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker with C curve characteristics and a rated current of 16 A, designed to protect cables and conductors from the effects of overloads and short circuits. Thanks to its 6 kA breaking capacity, it meets the requirements of both residential and commercial installations. The type C characteristic means tripping occurs at 5–10 times the rated current, making it a suitable solution for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush currents — from lighting and sockets to small single-phase appliances. The circuit breaker is designed for repeated operation and offers greater sensitivity than traditional fuse links. DIN rail mounting, a compact width of 17.5 mm (1 module), and screw terminals allow for quick and reliable installation in distribution boards. The product complies with the EN 60898-1 standard and is in accordance with the RoHS directive.
Key benefits for the installer
- Curve C characteristic — delayed tripping eliminates unnecessary disconnections caused by brief inrush currents
- High breaking capacity ensures effective short-circuit protection in typical low-voltage installations
- Compact single-module design saves space in the distribution board
- Universal screw terminals accept a wide range of rigid and flexible conductor cross-sections — convenient installation without adapters
- High mechanical and electrical durability guarantees long, trouble-free operation
