XL8-63 Circuit Breaker 2P 16A 400V AC Curve C

Product Description

The Magnetotérmico XL8-63 2P 16A 400V AC Curve C is designed to protect medium-consumption branch circuits against prolonged overloads and instantaneous short circuits. Its 2-pole architecture simultaneously disconnects both paths of the circuit (phase-neutral or two phases), increasing safety in single-phase/biphase installations at 400 V~. The Curve C tripping characteristic provides immunity to inrush currents typical in switched-mode power supplies, small compressors, pumps, IT equipment, and power electronics associated with PV systems, while maintaining a fast response to short circuits.

Main Features

• In 16 A for socket circuits, LED lighting, small motors, and electronics.
• Curve C (thermal + magnetic) for moderate startups without unwanted tripping.
• Breaking capacity up to 6 kA, suitable for most residential and commercial panels.
• Modular construction for DIN rail with position indicator and reliable operation.
• High-quality terminals ensure stable contact and low transition resistance.
• Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1, suitable for low-voltage distribution.

Advantages or Benefits

• Effective protection of wiring and equipment, reducing costs due to failures.
• Simple selection of rating (16 A) for general-purpose lines in homes and small businesses.
• Compatibility with busbars and DIN accessories that speed up wiring and improve panel aesthetics.
• Self-extinguishing materials and durable mechanism for prolonged service life.
• Quick installation and maintenance; visual diagnosis of circuit status.

Purpose or Applications

Recommended for general socket branches, light power circuits, lighting, small pumps, water treatment units, domestic air conditioning, subpanels, and AC outputs of inverters. Useful in self-consumption panels, homes, offices, shops, and small industrial installations.
