The TBC-320M is a high-performance 3-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to deliver dependable overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage electrical distribution systems. Featuring advanced thermal-magnetic trip technology with Type C tripping characteristics, this MCB is ideal for safeguarding circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial environments where reliable protection is essential.
The TBC-320M miniature circuit breaker represents a robust solution for three-phase electrical protection in demanding environments. Its thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism combines a bimetallic element for overload protection with an electromagnetic release for instantaneous short-circuit protection, ensuring comprehensive circuit safety.
Designed with Type C tripping characteristics, this MCB is particularly well-suited for circuits with moderate inrush currents, including lighting circuits, distribution boards, and equipment with inductive loads. The 6kA breaking capacity provides adequate protection for most residential and commercial installations, while the compact 3-module width (54mm) allows for efficient use of distribution board space.
Built to withstand harsh environmental conditions, the TBC-320M operates reliably across a temperature range of -35°C to +70°C and tolerates humidity levels up to 95%. The toggle control mechanism ensures simple manual operation, while the DIN rail mounting system facilitates rapid installation and replacement. With a mechanical life of 20,000 cycles and electrical durability of 4,000 cycles, this MCB delivers long-term reliability and reduced maintenance requirements.
Tripping Characteristics: The TBC-320M employs Type C tripping characteristics, with magnetic trip activation occurring between 5 and 10 times the rated current (In). This makes it ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as fluorescent lighting, small motors, and transformers.
Breaking Capacity: With a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 415V AC, this MCB provides adequate protection for most residential and light commercial installations. The breaking capacity represents the maximum fault current the device can safely interrupt without damage.
Thermal-Magnetic Technology: The integrated thermal element responds to sustained overload conditions by heating a bimetallic strip that mechanically trips the breaker. The magnetic element provides instantaneous protection against short circuits by using electromagnetic force to trigger immediate disconnection.
Rated Impulse Voltage: The 4kV impulse voltage rating indicates the device's ability to withstand transient overvoltages without breakdown, providing additional protection against lightning strikes and switching surges.
Installation: Standard 35mm DIN rail mounting ensures compatibility with most modern distribution boards and enclosures. The three-pole configuration requires three module spaces (54mm total width) in the distribution panel.
