The MCB from this range offers dependable performance even at a higher short circuit level, thanks to its highest claim of energy-limiting class 3.

Ease and efficiency in managing project cost and quality

To improve cost efficiency, Easy9 Pro MCBs are budget-friendly and versatile. This offering makes it easy to control project costs without compromising quality or functionality, benefiting panel builders, contractors, and end-users looking for reliable electrical components that meet industry standards.

Advanced safety features

Easy9 Pro’s MCB and Residual Circuit Current Breaker (RCCB) devices include a green strip on the toggle for Positive Contact Indication. This visual indicator provides confirmation that the product is in the OFF state while ensuring product safety. Easy9 Pro ensures optimal safety at the system level by providing a higher conditional SC current for RCCB. When connected to an MCB in the system, it can withstand a short circuit fault of up to 10kA without getting damaged. The RCCB stays functional and continues to protect the system until the MCB clears the fault. This ensures that the system remains protected at all times.
