The TBC-325M 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-325M miniature circuit breaker represents a robust solution for three-phase electrical protection in diverse installation environments. Built with precision-engineered thermal-magnetic trip mechanisms, this 3-pole MCB provides dual-layer protection against both sustained overloads and dangerous short-circuit conditions.
Designed for 415V AC systems operating at 50/60 Hz, the TBC-325M features a Type C tripping characteristic, making it particularly well-suited for circuits with moderate inductive loads such as lighting circuits with transformers, small motors, and general-purpose distribution applications. The 6kA breaking capacity ensures reliable interruption of fault currents in typical low-voltage installations.
The compact 54mm width allows for efficient use of panel space, while the standard 35mm DIN rail mounting system ensures compatibility with most modern distribution boards. With an impressive mechanical durability of 20,000 operations and electrical durability of 4,000 cycles, the TBC-325M is built for long-term reliability in demanding applications.
Engineered to perform in challenging environmental conditions, this MCB operates reliably across a temperature range of -35°C to +70°C and tolerates relative humidity up to 95%, making it suitable for various installation locations. Full compliance with IEC 60898-1 standards and multiple international certifications ensure that the TBC-325M meets the highest safety and performance requirements.
Trip Mechanism Technology
The TBC-325M employs a sophisticated thermal-magnetic trip mechanism that combines two complementary protection methods. The thermal element provides time-delayed protection against sustained overload conditions, while the magnetic element delivers instantaneous protection against short-circuit faults. This dual-protection approach ensures comprehensive circuit safety across the full range of fault conditions.
Type C Tripping Characteristics
The Type C tripping curve is specifically designed for circuits with moderate inductive loads. The magnetic trip operates between 5 and 10 times the rated current (125A to 250A for this 25A model), providing the necessary discrimination to avoid nuisance tripping during normal inrush currents while still delivering fast protection during genuine fault conditions.
Breaking Capacity
With a rated breaking capacity of 6kA at 415V AC, the TBC-325M can safely interrupt fault currents up to 6,000 amperes. This breaking capacity is suitable for most residential and commercial installations where prospective short-circuit currents are within this range. The rated impulse voltage of 4kV provides additional protection against transient overvoltages.
Installation and Mounting
The circuit breaker is designed for standard 35mm DIN rail mounting, allowing for quick snap-on installation without the need for additional mounting hardware. The toggle control mechanism provides clear ON/OFF indication and manual operation for testing and maintenance purposes.
Environmental Performance
Rated for IP20 protection, the TBC-325M is suitable for installation in standard indoor electrical enclosures where protection against solid objects larger than 12.5mm is required. The wide operating temperature range and high humidity tolerance ensure reliable performance in various climatic conditions.
