This is the Fusebox MT06B101 10A Single Pole B-Curve 6kA Miniature Circuit Breaker – Thermal-Magnetic DIN-Rail Protection available at SparksDirect.co.uk for the best price.
The Fusebox MT06B101 is a Single Pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. It is part of the Fusebox MT06 B-Curve range, a popular choice for domestic and light commercial electrical systems where reliable, cost-effective protection is required.
Operating on a Type B tripping curve, this MCB trips when the current exceeds approximately 3–5× the rated load, making it suitable for standard circuits such as lighting and general power outlets with modest inrush currents.
Mounted easily on a 35mm DIN rail, the MT06B101 is compact, simple to install and resettable in the event of a fault — unlike a traditional fuse which would need replacing.
This breaker is manufactured to meet recognised standards such as IEC/EN 60898-1 and is compliant with UK wiring regulations (18th Edition) when used in the appropriate consumer unit.
Features and Benefits
- 10A rated current – ideal for protecting low-to-medium power circuits like lighting and small sockets.
- Thermal-magnetic tripping – combines overload and short-circuit protection in one device.
- Type B tripping curve – fast acting for standard residential loads with minimal inrush current.
- 6kA breaking capacity – safely interrupts fault currents up to 6000A.
- DIN-rail mounting – easy installation and integration into standard consumer units.
- Compact 1-module width – saves space in distribution boards.
- IP20 finger-safe rating – basic protection against contact with live parts.
- Compliance with safety standards – meets IEC/EN 60898-1 and UK wiring regs.
