Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A, C-curve, 6kA - EPB63ME2C40

The Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A circuit breaker is a magneto-thermal circuit breaker designed to protect single-phase electrical installations with high consumption against overloads and short-circuits, being a robust and reliable solution.

This circuit breaker is typically used when safe protection is required on single-phase main lines, dedicated circuits or high-power equipment, both in residential and commercial premises. It can even be used in light industrial environments.

In addition, it integrates thermal and magnetic protection in a single device, cutting the current quickly and precisely when it detects any electrical anomaly and preventing damage to wiring and connected equipment. It also reduces the risk of serious incidents.

Main features of the Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A circuit breaker

Complete phase and neutral protection

Being a 2-pole MCB (2P), This switch disconnects the phase and neutral at the same time, guaranteeing total isolation of the circuit when it is manually tripped or switched off.
This provides a great deal more safety, especially during maintenance work or servicing at the control panel.

It is a configuration widely used in single-phase main lines, dedicated high consumption circuits, demanding electrical equipment such as air conditioning or light machinery, and installations where a complete power cut-off is required.

High demand loads

With a 40 ampere rated current, This circuit breaker is designed for single-phase circuits with high loads or high power consumption.

This current rating is typically used to protect single-phase main lines, heavy-duty sockets, air conditioning equipment, high-power electrical appliances, and machinery.

Provided that the wiring is correctly dimensioned and appropriate additional protection is used, the circuit breaker operates stably, reliably and without problems.

Balanced and stable protection

The firing curve C allows the circuit breaker to withstand normal and moderate current peaks, such as those that occur when starting motors, compressors or switching on certain electrical equipment, preventing it from tripping unnecessarily.

This translates into greater continuity of supply, fewer unexpected outages, greater convenience of use, and effective protection against real overloads and short circuits.
In other words, it is good protection for when it is really needed.

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

High short-circuit resistance

The 6 kA breaking capacity means that the circuit breaker can safely interrupt significant short-circuit currents of up to 6,000 amperes without damage or loss of protection.

This value is suitable for dwellings, commercial premises, secondary switchboards, standard electrical installations and circuits far from the transformation point.

It offers a reliable day-to-day level of protection for most standard low-voltage installations.

Easy installation and practical design

The Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A is designed for DIN rail mounting, It is quick and easy to install in any standard and modular electrical panel.

Your compact and robust 36 mm wide design (18 mm per pole) optimises the available space, and features window for circuit marker and visual status signalling (on/off), The circuit it protects can be easily identified.

In addition, it has some terminals which are prepared for cables of this current rating (25mm² in flexible cable and 35mm² in rigid cable).
This ensures firm, secure and durable connections.

These features facilitate both installation and maintenance.

Maxge Alpha+ 2P, 40A, C-curve, 6kA - EPB63ME2C40 - Operation and Applications

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

• Thermal protection (overload): acts by cutting off the current when there is a prolonged overload, preventing overheating of the cables and possible damage to the installation.
• Magnetic protection (short circuit): acts almost instantaneously when there is a strong short-circuit, cutting off the supply and protecting both the installation and the connected equipment.

It is an ideal switch for high-demand residential switchboards, commercial premises, main single-phase lines, and circuits dedicated to high-consumption equipment.
