The TBC-232M Miniature Circuit Breaker represents a robust solution for electrical circuit protection in diverse applications. This 2-pole MCB combines advanced thermal-magnetic tripping technology with a Type C characteristic curve, making it particularly suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting, heating, and motor loads.

Designed to meet the demanding requirements of modern electrical installations, the TBC-232M offers a breaking capacity of 6kA at 415V AC, ensuring effective protection against short-circuit faults. The thermal element provides reliable overload protection, while the magnetic element delivers instantaneous tripping during short-circuit conditions.

With its compact 36mm width and standard DIN rail mounting, the TBC-232M integrates seamlessly into distribution boards and consumer units. The device is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, operating reliably across temperatures from -35°C to +70°C and in humidity levels up to 95%.

Certified to international standards including IEC 60898-1 and bearing CB CERT, CE, and TÜV approvals, the TBC-232M ensures compliance with global safety and performance requirements, making it a trusted choice for electrical contractors and system designers worldwide.

Tripping Technology: The TBC-232M employs thermal-magnetic tripping technology, combining a bimetallic thermal element for overload protection with an electromagnetic release for short-circuit protection. The Type C characteristic provides tripping at 5-10 times the rated current, making it ideal for general-purpose applications with moderate inrush currents.

Breaking Capacity: With a rated breaking capacity of 6kA at 415V AC, this MCB can safely interrupt fault currents up to 6,000 amperes, providing adequate protection for most residential and commercial installations.

Electrical Performance: Rated for 32A continuous current at 415V AC (50/60 Hz), the device features a rated impulse voltage withstand of 4kV, ensuring protection against transient overvoltages. The ultra-fast tripping time of less than 0.1 seconds minimizes potential damage during fault conditions.

Mechanical Design: The toggle control mechanism provides clear ON/OFF indication and manual operation. DIN rail mounting (35mm standard) enables quick installation and removal. The device offers exceptional durability with 20,000 mechanical operations and 4,000 electrical operations under load.

Environmental Protection: Constructed with IP20 degree of protection, the TBC-232M is suitable for indoor installation in dry or controlled environments. The wide operating temperature range (-35°C to +70°C) and humidity tolerance (0-95%) ensure reliable performance across diverse climatic conditions.

Standards Compliance: Manufactured in accordance with IEC 60898-1 international standard for miniature circuit breakers, ensuring consistent performance and safety. CB CERT, CE marking, and TÜV certification validate compliance with European and international safety requirements.
