Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A, C-curve, 6kA - EPB63ME2C16

Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A, C-curve, 6kA - EPB63ME2C16

The Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A circuit breaker is a magneto-thermal circuit breaker designed to effectively protect single-phase circuits against overloads and short circuits, ensuring safe and stable operation of the electrical installation.

Thanks to its two-pole configuration (2P), its rated current of 16 A, tripping curve C and breaking capacity of 6 kA, this circuit breaker is widely used in domestic, commercial and tertiary installations.

This device combines thermal and magnetic protection in a single unit, guaranteeing a rapid and precise response to any current anomaly, and helping to preserve both the installation and the connected equipment.

Main features of the Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A circuit breaker

Complete phase and neutral protection

Being from 2-pole (2P), This circuit breaker protects and disconnects the phase and neutral at the same time. This ensures that the circuit is completely isolated when the circuit breaker is manually tripped or switched off, increasing safety during maintenance or servicing work on the electrical panel.

This type of protection is particularly recommended for single-phase installations, lighting circuits, specific sockets, socket lines with moderate consumption, auxiliary and control circuits, and installations where a total circuit cut-off is required.

Typical use in domestic installations

With a rated current 16 amps, This circuit breaker is perfect for plug and socket circuits, where electrical appliances and equipment with medium power consumption are connected.

It is typically used to protect socket lines in homes, kitchens and utility areas, offices and small commercial premises, and circuits with several pieces of equipment operating at the same time.

Provided that the installation is properly carried out, the circuit breaker guarantees stable, safe operation without unnecessary outages.

Stability without nuisance tripping

The firing curve C allows the circuit breaker to withstand moderate current peaks, such as those that occur when switching on certain electrical appliances, without causing unnecessary tripping.

This means fewer unplanned outages, greater convenience of use, and good protection against real overloads and short circuits.

Therefore, the C-curve is one of the most commonly used curves in general installations.

High resistance

Your 6 kA breaking capacity means that this circuit breaker is capable of safely interrupting short-circuit currents of up to 6,000 amperes without damage or loss of protective properties.

This level of breaking capacity is more than sufficient for homes, commercial premises, secondary switchboards and circuits far from the transformation point.

In other words, this circuit breaker provides a reliable level of protection for everyday use.

Quick installation and practical design

The Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A is intended for DIN rail mounting, It is quick and easy to install in any standard electrical panel.

Your compact 36 mm wide design (18 mm per pole), helps to optimise the space available in the frame and features window for circuit marker y a visual status signalling (on/off), The circuit it protects can be easily identified.

In addition, it has some terminals that are prepared for cables suitable for this current (16mm² in flexible cable and 25mm² in rigid cable).
This ensures firm, secure and durable connections.

Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A, C-curve, 6kA - EPB63ME2C16 - Operation and Applications

This circuit breaker protects the circuit by means of two complementary systems:

• Thermal protection (overload): acts when the current exceeds safe values for a prolonged period of time, preventing excessive heating of the conductors and possible damage to equipment or risk of fire.
• Magnetic protection (short circuit): responds almost instantaneously to very high currents, cutting off the supply and protecting the installation against serious faults.

It is ideal for use in residential, commercial and office switchboards, socket circuits, and general single-phase line protection.

Main advantages of Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 16A

This circuit breaker has the following advantages:

• Complete phase and neutral protection.
• It has 16A, the standard rating for plugs and sockets.
• Balanced and versatile C-curve.
• 6 kA breaking capacity, suitable for domestic and commercial use.
• Easy DIN rail installation and simple maintenance.
• Compact, robust and reliable design.
• Compliance with international quality norms and standards.
