What is a 16 amp MCB used for?
Protects circuits/devices from overload/short circuits in AC 230V/400V systems, ideal for medium-low power loads like lighting, household appliances, and office equipment.
Why use a 2 pole MCB?
Cuts both live and neutral wires simultaneously for full isolation, enhancing safety during maintenance. Suitable for 230V single-phase circuits (e.g., air conditioners, water heaters).
How much load can a 16 amp MCB take?
Up to ~3,680W (16A×230V) for resistive loads (e.g., heaters); derate to ~3,000W for inductive loads (e.g., motors) for stability.
Which MCB is best, B or C?
B-type: Trips at 3-5×In (low inrush loads: lighting, sockets).
C-type: Trips at 5-10×In (medium inrush loads: motors, pumps). Choose based on load type.
