The TBC-420M miniature circuit breaker represents a robust solution for protecting electrical circuits in diverse environments. Its 4-pole design ensures complete protection for three-phase systems including the neutral conductor, making it particularly suitable for balanced load distribution in commercial and industrial settings.

Equipped with Type C tripping characteristics, this MCB is specifically designed to handle circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as those found in lighting systems, small motors, and transformers. The thermal-magnetic trip mechanism combines a bimetallic strip for overload protection with an electromagnetic coil for instantaneous short-circuit protection, ensuring comprehensive circuit safety.

Built to withstand demanding operational conditions, the TBC-420M features exceptional mechanical and electrical durability, with ratings of 20,000 and 4,000 cycles respectively. Its compact 72mm width (18mm per pole) allows for efficient use of panel space while maintaining easy accessibility for manual operation and maintenance.

The device operates reliably across a wide temperature range and maintains performance in humidity levels up to 95%, making it suitable for various installation environments. Full compliance with IEC 60898-1 standards and multiple international certifications ensure that the TBC-420M meets the highest safety and performance requirements.

Trip Characteristics: The Type C tripping curve provides instantaneous magnetic tripping at 5 to 10 times the rated current (In), making it ideal for circuits with moderate inductive loads. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element provides rapid protection against short circuits.

Breaking Capacity: With a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 415V AC, the TBC-420M can safely interrupt fault currents in typical residential and commercial installations. The breaking capacity is tested and certified according to IEC 60898-1 standards.

Electrical Coordination: The device is designed for use in AC networks at 50/60 Hz with a rated voltage of 415V AC. The rated impulse voltage of 4kV provides protection against transient overvoltages commonly encountered in electrical distribution systems.

Installation and Mounting: The MCB features standard 35mm DIN rail mounting for quick installation in distribution boards and enclosures. The toggle control mechanism provides clear ON/OFF indication and manual operation for testing and maintenance purposes.

Environmental Performance: Engineered to operate in temperatures ranging from -35°C to +70°C, the TBC-420M maintains reliable performance in extreme conditions. The IP20 protection rating ensures safety against solid objects larger than 12.5mm while being suitable for indoor installation environments.
