The Schneider GB2CB16 Motor Circuit Breaker is a robust and reliable solution designed to protect motors in industrial applications. This single-pole breaker is rated for 10 A and can handle voltages up to 277 V ac, making it suitable for a wide range of control circuits. Its compact dimensions of 74 x 15 x 67 mm allow for efficient use of space on a DIN rail mount, facilitating easy installation within electrical enclosures.

Crafted with thermal-magnetic trip unit technology, the GB2CB16 ensures precise protection by responding to both thermal (overload) and magnetic (short-circuit) conditions. The magnetic tripping current is set at 138 A, providing a swift response to fault conditions and helping to minimise potential damage to the motor and associated equipment.

The breaker is engineered to perform reliably, with a mechanical and electrical durability of 8000 cycles, ensuring long-term operation with minimal maintenance. It also boasts a breaking capacity of 2 kA at 110 V AC and 1.5 kA at both 230/240 V AC and 24 V DC, in accordance with IEC standards.

For ease of use, the GB2CB16 features a toggle control type and offers a variety of connection options to accommodate different wire sizes and types. It is designed to meet international standards, including EN/IEC 60947-1 and 60947-2, CSA C22.2 No 235, and UL 1077, ensuring compliance with global electrical regulations.

The Schneider GB2CB16 is a dependable choice for motor circuit protection, offering both performance and peace of mind in a compact, easy-to-install package.
