Installation Tips

Always isolate power before installation. Fit securely on a standard DIN rail and tighten terminals firmly to prevent arcing. For outdoor or portable use, install the breaker inside an IP65-rated mini enclosure and use quality 1.5 mm² or 2.5 mm² Cable Coils for wiring — that’s why we test them.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does C16 mean on the Tomzn TOB1-63H MCB?

“C” is the trip curve for moderate inrush loads like motors. “16” is the current rating in amps under normal load.

Is the Tomzn TOB1-63H 3-pole MCB suitable for three-phase systems?

Yes — it’s a 3-pole breaker that protects all phases of a 400 V AC supply in one unit.

Can the Tomzn C16 MCB be used in residential installations?

It can, but it’s mainly used in commercial or industrial sites with three-phase supply.

What’s the difference between B, C and D curve MCBs?

B trips at 3–5× current, C at 5–10× and D at 10–20×. C-curve is best for motors and lighting with moderate inrush.

Will the Tomzn TOB1-63H fit my consumer unit or enclosure?

DIN-rail fit alone does not establish compatibility with a consumer unit. A qualified installer must confirm the manufacturer-approved device range, busbar fit, breaking capacity and circuit requirements.
