Description
About the Product
Exora MCB 16A SP 240V AC 10kA C Curve is a miniature circuit breaker designed to protect electrical circuits from overload & short circuit conditions. It is widely used in residential, commercial, & industrial installations where inductive loads are present.
How the Mechanism Works
The MCB operates using a thermal magnetic protection mechanism. The thermal element responds to overload conditions over time, while the magnetic mechanism provides instantaneous tripping during short circuit faults. The C curve characteristic allows higher tolerance for inrush currents compared to B curve.
Electrical Configuration
This is a single pole (SP) MCB rated at 16A current, suitable for 240V AC systems, with a 10kA breaking capacity. It features a C curve tripping characteristic, making it suitable for circuits with moderate inrush current such as motors, pumps, & inductive loads.
• Safety / protection aspects
• The MCB ensures safe circuit operation by disconnecting power during overload or short circuit conditions. It protects wiring, appliances, & equipment while reducing the risk of electrical damage & fire hazards.
Construction & Design
A compact insulating body integrates the operating mechanism, contacts, arc-control components, terminals, & trip elements for reliable circuit protection.
Safety & Protection
Provides circuit isolation & overcurrent protection when correctly selected, coordinated, installed, & operated within its published ratings.
Mounting & Durability
Designed for DIN rail mounting, the breaker allows easy installation in distribution boards & control panels. Its durable construction ensures consistent performance & long service life in demanding environments.
Application Domains
Suitable for residential & commercial installations such as motor circuits, pumps, air conditioners, & inductive loads requiring reliable protection.
Key Features
• Rated current: 16A
• Single pole (SP) configuration
• Rated voltage: 240V AC
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• C curve tripping characteristic
• Thermal magnetic protection mechanism
• DIN rail mounting compatible
• Suitable for inductive load circuits
• Durable & reliable design
Applications
• Residential distribution boards
• Motor & pump circuits
• Air conditioners
• Automation systems
• Commercial electrical panels
FAQs
1. What is a 16A C curve MCB used for?
Ans: It is used for circuits with moderate inrush current such as motors, pumps, & inductive loads.
2. What is C curve in MCB?
Ans: C curve allows higher inrush current before tripping compared to B curve.
3. What is the difference between B & C curve?
Ans: C curve is suited for inductive loads with moderate inrush current, while B curve is used for resistive loads with low inrush current.
4. What is 10kA breaking capacity?
Ans: It is the maximum fault current the MCB can safely interrupt.
5. Can it be used in homes?
Ans: Yes, especially for appliances & circuits with inductive loads.
6. How is it installed?
Ans: It is mounted on standard DIN rails inside distribution boards.

Warranty
- All products listed in the price list are covered by a warranty against manufacturing defects for a period of 18* months from the date of purchase.
- For Lauritz Knudsen MCBs & Isolators mounted inside Lauritz Knudsen Distribution Boards, an extended warranty of 5 years is provided.
- In the event of a defect due to faulty workmanship or other associated reasons, the manufacturer will, at its discretion, remedy the defect or replace the faulty parts or the entire product as soon as possible, free of cost.
- This warranty is subject to proper usage and efficient maintenance and does not cover defects arising from fire, accidents, inefficient maintenance, faulty operation, or deliberate or accidental damage.
- The warranty does not cover damage to power electronic components such as thyristors & IGBTs, which primarily fail due to over-temperature or over-voltage. Users must take adequate precautions to eliminate such conditions.
- The manufacturer shall not be responsible or liable for any special, incidental, social, or consequential losses (including loss of profits), punitive damages, injury, or damages of any kind solely attributable to defect or failure of its products.
- The manufacturer shall not be liable in any manner for issues related to or failure in the performance of any other equipment to which the product is connected.
