AEG Elfaplus MCB 6kA C-16A 3P Miniature Circuit Breaker

The AEG Elfaplus miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is a reliable and compact protection device designed for industrial and commercial electrical installations. With a rated current of 16 A and a tripping characteristic of C, it provides overcurrent and short-circuit protection for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and motor loads. The 3-pole configuration ensures simultaneous disconnection of all phases.

Advantages

High breaking capacity of 6 kA according to EN 60898-1 ensures safety under fault conditions. Energy limiting class 3 reduces stress on downstream equipment. Compact 3-module width (52.5 mm) saves space on DIN rail. Screw terminals accommodate flexible cables up to 25 mm² and rigid cables up to 35 mm² for easy installation.

Suitable for

• Residential and commercial distribution boards
• Lighting circuits, socket outlets, and small motor circuits
• Industrial control panels requiring C-curve protection
