The NHP MOD6+ MD6M3 3 Pole MCB offers high-performance protection in a compact, DIN-rail format for three-phase applications. With its robust design, 6kA short-circuit capacity, and reliable C-curve trip profile, it’s a trusted solution for protecting circuits in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

Q: What is the benefit of a C curve trip characteristic?
A: A C curve MCB trips at 5–10x the rated current, suitable for general-purpose circuits including those with moderate inrush currents (e.g. small motors, lighting loads).

Q: Can I use this MCB in a residential switchboard?
A: Yes, particularly for three-phase circuits such as air conditioning systems, ovens, or dedicated workshop tools.

Q: Is this circuit breaker compliant with Australian standards?
A: Yes, the MD6M3 is certified to AS/NZS 60898, ensuring compliance with local safety requirements.

Q: Is this breaker suitable for outdoor installations?
A: The breaker has an IP40 rating, so it must be installed within a suitable weatherproof enclosure for outdoor applications.
