LIVE Electrical DCM416C 4-Pole 16A C Curve 6kA DC Miniature Circuit Breaker

Product Overview

The LIVE Electrical DCM416C 4-Pole DC Miniature Circuit Breaker provides dependable protection for direct current (DC) systems operating up to 1000V DC. With a rated current of 16A and a 6kA breaking capacity, it ensures safe interruption of overloads and short-circuit faults, protecting sensitive DC circuits and equipment from electrical damage. Its C-curve thermo-magnetic release characteristic is well-suited for installations where moderate inrush currents occur, such as solar PV arrays, battery systems, and DC distribution networks.

Built to IEC/EN 60898-2 standards, the DCM416C combines safety, durability, and performance. Its modular design allows easy integration into DIN rail-mounted enclosures, while an IP20 protection rating provides safe handling and secure operation within enclosed installations.
