Garo 20A Curve C 6kA MCB – 20A Single-Pole Circuit Protection
This single-pole MCB may be selected for circuits with suitably assessed equipment start-up currents. The Garo 20A Curve C 6kA MCB is a DIN-rail mounted, single-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 20A, with a 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity. It provides overcurrent protection against overloads and short circuits in appropriately designed electrical installations.
Key Features

Curve C Tripping Characteristic
The 6kA rating must be suitable for the prospective short-circuit current. The typical instantaneous magnetic tripping band for a Curve C MCB is 5–10 times its rated current; confirm suitability using the manufacturer’s published characteristics and the installation design.
Selection and Installation
Check the design current, conductor protection, prospective fault current, disconnection requirements and compatibility with the specific distribution board. An MCB does not itself provide residual current protection. Installation and device selection should follow BS 7671 and the manufacturer’s instructions.
Explore Garo circuit protection devices or compare Garo RCBOs where combined residual current and overcurrent protection is needed.
