Description
The Timeguard TX2310C 10A C-curve MCB provides overload and short-circuit protection for an individual circuit within a compatible Timeguard TX series consumer unit. Its single-pole, one-module design fits onto a 35mm DIN rail and has a 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity.
For electricians ordering components for a consumer unit installation or replacement, this model combines a 10A current rating with a C-curve tripping characteristic. It must be selected to suit the circuit design, connected equipment and installation conditions.
Understanding the C-curve characteristic
A C-curve MCB has a higher instantaneous magnetic operating threshold than an equivalent B-curve breaker. This can help accommodate brief starting currents where the circuit has been designed for that characteristic.
The 10A rating still applies: choosing C-curve does not increase the circuit’s permitted continuous load. It should not be substituted for a B-curve device simply to stop unexplained tripping.
Practical features for installation and maintenance
The terminal cages incorporate blanking plates designed to help prevent the cable or busbar from being incorrectly positioned outside the clamp. Maximum terminal capacity is 25mm², with a specified tightening torque of 2.5Nm.
A contact position indicator provides a visible indication of contact status. The MCB can also be removed without removing the busbar, helping with maintenance when the installation has been safely isolated.
Measuring 18mm wide × 81mm high × 73mm deep, this compact breaker occupies one module. Timeguard provides a five-year guarantee.
