Description

Schneider Acti9 iKQ SE10C106 6A Type C MCB

Choosing the correct circuit breaker is about more than matching the current rating.

The Schneider SE10C106 is a professional-grade 6A Type C miniature circuit breaker designed to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in commercial and industrial electrical installations. Part of the trusted Acti9 iKQ range, it is specifically engineered for use within Schneider LoadCentre KQ distribution boards.

Unlike Type B devices that trip more quickly under inrush conditions, a Type C MCB is designed to tolerate higher startup currents. This makes it particularly suitable for circuits supplying equipment with moderate inrush characteristics, such as LED lighting drivers, control equipment, small motors and commercial electrical systems.

With a 10kA breaking capacity, the SE10C106 offers a higher level of fault protection than many standard domestic MCBs, making it suitable for commercial switchboards and installations where fault currents may be significantly higher.

The breaker features positive contact indication, a trip-free mechanism and lockable ON/OFF functionality, providing electricians and maintenance teams with additional safety and isolation options during installation and servicing.

Built to Schneider Electric's recognised quality standards, the SE10C106 delivers dependable circuit protection, long operational life and compatibility with KQ distribution systems used throughout commercial buildings across the UK.

FAQ's

When should I use a Type C MCB instead of a Type B MCB?

Type C MCBs are commonly used where equipment generates higher startup currents. Examples include LED drivers, small motors, HVAC controls and certain commercial lighting installations. A Type B breaker may nuisance trip in these situations, whereas a Type C device is designed to tolerate higher inrush currents before operating.

Is a 10kA MCB necessary for commercial installations?

Many commercial and industrial installations have higher prospective fault currents than domestic properties. A 10kA MCB provides greater short-circuit protection capability and is often specified in commercial distribution boards where fault levels exceed the limits of lower-rated devices.

Why do LED lighting circuits sometimes require Type C protection?

Large groups of LED drivers can generate significant inrush current when energised. Although the running current may be low, the initial startup surge can cause nuisance tripping if the protective device is not correctly selected. Type C devices are frequently specified to help manage this effect.
