The TBC-140M is a high-performance 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered for dependable protection against overload and short-circuit conditions in low-voltage electrical distribution systems. Featuring a proven thermal-magnetic trip mechanism, this MCB ensures fast and safe disconnection to protect your electrical installations and connected equipment.
The TBC-140M miniature circuit breaker is designed to provide robust and reliable protection for residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations. With its 40A rated current capacity and 6kA breaking capability, this MCB is ideal for protecting distribution boards, lighting circuits, socket outlets, and general low-voltage applications.
Built to meet stringent IEC-60898 standards, the TBC-140M combines thermal protection against overloads with magnetic protection against short circuits. The Type C tripping curve makes it particularly suitable for applications with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting circuits and general-purpose power distribution.
The compact single-module design (18 mm width) allows for efficient use of panel space, while the standard DIN-rail mounting ensures quick installation and easy maintenance. The clear ON/OFF position indicator provides instant visual confirmation of the circuit status, enhancing operational safety and convenience.
Trip Mechanism: The TBC-140M employs a thermal-magnetic trip unit that provides comprehensive protection. The thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short-circuit faults with tripping time less than 0.1 seconds.
Type C Tripping Curve: The Type C characteristic is designed for circuits with moderate inrush currents. Magnetic tripping occurs between 5 and 10 times the rated current, making it ideal for general distribution, lighting, and socket circuits in residential and commercial applications.
Breaking Capacity: With a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA at 240/415V AC, the TBC-140M provides adequate protection for most standard low-voltage distribution systems.
Environmental Performance: Designed for reliable operation across a wide temperature range (-35°C to +70°C) and humidity levels up to 95%, ensuring consistent performance in various installation environments. IP20 degree of protection provides protection against solid objects greater than 12.5 mm.
Durability: Engineered for long service life with mechanical durability of 20,000 operations and electrical durability of 4,000 operations under load conditions.
