Description 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. Key Features: 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 Model Amp Rating Typical Application Inrush Tolerance Use Case 6HS06C 6A Control circuits, low-load lighting Moderate PLCs, emergency lights 6HS10C 10A Small inductive loads, lighting circuits Moderate Small fans, lighting controls 6HS16C 16A Mixed circuits, small 3-phase motors Moderate HVAC zones, small machinery 6HS20C 20A Moderate inductive load circuits Moderate Small compressors, power sockets 6HS32C 32A Medium power equipment Moderate Workshop tools, AC units 6HS40C 40A High-load 3-phase devices Moderate Industrial fans, commercial kitchens 6HSL63C 63A Large 3-phase systems Moderate Distribution panels, heavy machinery
