Description

The Timeguard TX2306C is a 6A, C-curve, single-pole miniature circuit breaker with a published 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity. It occupies one module position and mounts on a 35mm DIN rail in a compatible Timeguard TX-series consumer unit.

It provides overload and short-circuit protection for an individual circuit where the installation design calls for a 6A C-curve MCB.

Choose the Correct Trip Curve

The C-curve characteristic is an important part of the specification. It should not be treated as interchangeable with a B-curve device simply because both are rated at 6A.

The electrician must assess the load characteristics, cable protection and fault conditions before selecting the breaker. A change of trip curve should not be used as an automatic remedy for unwanted tripping.

The 6A rating identifies the device’s rated current. The 6kA figure describes its short-circuit breaking capacity; it is not a normal operating-current rating.

Overcurrent Protection, with RCD Protection Assessed Separately

This is an MCB, rather than an RCD or RCBO. It should not be described as providing built-in residual-current protection.

Where residual-current protection is required, the appropriate arrangement must be specified separately as part of the installation design.

FAQ's

What is the Timeguard TX2306C?

It is a 6A C-curve single-pole MCB with a 6kA breaking capacity for compatible Timeguard TX-series consumer units.

Is this exact model B curve or C curve?

The manufacturer’s SKU-specific datasheet identifies TX2306C as C curve. TX2306, without the final C, is listed as B curve.

What does the 6A rating mean?

It identifies the MCB’s rated current. It should not be confused with its short-circuit breaking capacity or instantaneous tripping characteristic.

What does 6kA mean?

It is the published short-circuit breaking capacity: 6,000A. Fault-level suitability must be checked as part of the installation design.

How does C curve differ from B curve?

C curve has a higher instantaneous magnetic-tripping range than B curve. The appropriate characteristic depends on the circuit design and load conditions.

Can I replace a B-curve breaker with this C-curve model to stop tripping?

Not on current rating alone. The cause of tripping and the circuit’s protection and disconnection requirements must be assessed first.

Is it automatically suitable for a lighting circuit?

No. Lighting loads, starting currents, cables and fault conditions must be checked. A 6A rating alone does not establish suitability.

Does it provide residual-current protection?

It must not be treated as an RCD or RCBO. Required residual-current protection must be provided by an appropriate separate arrangement.

Is C curve an RCD classification?

No. Here, C curve describes the MCB’s overcurrent-tripping characteristic.
