Legrand TX3 interruptor automático B16 1 polo 10kA 230/400V 1 módulo

Protecting electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits is critical in any residential or commercial installation. The Legrand TX3 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) B16 1-pole 10kA 230/400V 1 module offers reliable protection in a compact 1-module width, making it ideal for distribution boards where space is at a premium. With a rated current of 16 A and a tripping characteristic of type B, it is perfectly suited for protecting lighting circuits and socket outlets with moderate inrush currents.

Who is it for

This MCB is designed for electricians, panel builders, and maintenance professionals who need dependable circuit protection in residential, commercial, and light industrial settings. It is particularly well-suited for installations requiring compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 standards and where DIN rail mounting is preferred.

Tips

When installing, ensure the MCB is properly seated on the DIN rail and that the terminals are torqued to the manufacturer's specifications. For circuits with high inrush currents (e.g., motors, transformers), consider a type C or D characteristic. Always verify the short-circuit current at the installation point does not exceed 10 kA.
