Hager MCB 1-Pole 6kA Type C Range — Made in France
The Hager 1-Pole MCB range delivers dependable overcurrent protection for 230V circuits, Made in France and available across the full 6A-63A rating band from a single Hager product family (MCN106, MCN110A, MCN116, MCN120, MCN125, MCN132, MCN140, MCN150, MCN163). With a 6kA breaking capacity and Type C tripping curve, it suits residential consumer units and commercial distribution boards where a compact, single-module DIN-rail breaker is needed for lighting, socket, and general power circuits.

FAQ
-
Which rating (6A-63A) do I need for my circuit?
The correct rating depends on the connected load and the cable's current-carrying capacity — an undersized breaker will nuisance-trip, an oversized one won't protect the cable. Always size the MCB to the circuit design, not just the appliance rating; a licensed electrician can confirm the correct choice.
-
What does the Type C tripping curve mean?
Type C breakers trip instantaneously at roughly 5-10 times their rated current, giving them enough headroom to ride out the brief inrush of motors, transformers, and fluorescent/LED lighting ballasts without nuisance tripping, while still tripping fast on a genuine fault.
-
Is this MCB compatible with other Hager DIN-rail distribution boards?
Yes. It's a standard 1-module, DIN-rail (EN 60715) mounted breaker and clips directly into Hager's modular consumer units and distribution boards alongside other Hager DIN-rail devices.
-
How many poles do I need for a single-phase circuit?
A single 1-pole (1P) breaker switches the line conductor only, which is the standard choice for individual single-phase final circuits (lighting, sockets). Where full double-pole isolation is required, a 2-pole device is used instead.
-
Can I install this myself?
No. This is a distribution board component and must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations — it is not a DIY consumer product.
