miniature breaker 16 amp
The miniature breaker 16 amp is a crucial electrical safety device designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overload or short circuit conditions. This compact yet powerful device serves as an automatic switch that interrupts electrical flow when detecting potentially hazardous situations. Operating at 16 amperes, it offers optimal protection for residential and light commercial applications, making it ideal for protecting lighting circuits, small appliances, and general-purpose outlets. The breaker employs advanced thermal-magnetic tripping technology, where a bimetallic strip responds to overload conditions while an electromagnetic mechanism handles short circuits. Its standardized DIN rail mounting system ensures easy installation and compatibility with most electrical panels. The device features clear ON/OFF position indicators and a manual trip-free mechanism that prevents the breaker from being held closed during fault conditions. Built to international safety standards, these breakers typically offer both B and C tripping characteristics, catering to different load types and applications. The 16 amp rating makes it particularly suitable for circuits powering multiple light fixtures, kitchen appliances, or office equipment, providing reliable protection while maintaining circuit continuity under normal operating conditions.
