LIVE Electrical CN125C 25A Type C 6kA 1P+N Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
The LIVE Electrical CN125C 25A Type C Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is designed to provide reliable overload and short-circuit protection for domestic and commercial electrical installations. Specifically developed for LIVE Electrical SRN Dual Busbar consumer units, this compact circuit breaker combines a 25A rated current, Type C tripping characteristic and 6kA breaking capacity in a space-saving single-module design.
Featuring a 1P+N configuration, the CN125C provides overcurrent protection for the live conductor alongside neutral switching. Its Type C tripping characteristic is suitable for appropriately designed electrical circuits with moderate inrush currents, including selected motor-driven equipment, commercial lighting systems and inductive electrical loads.
Operating at a rated voltage of 240V AC and frequency of 50/60Hz, this LIVE Electrical MCB offers an efficient circuit protection solution for electricians and electrical contractors installing, upgrading or maintaining compatible single-phase distribution systems.
