Why Choose the IMO UB10C2016A UL489 Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The IMO UB10C2016A is a compact and dependable UL489 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect industrial electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, it is suitable for branch circuit protection in machinery, automation equipment and industrial control panels.

This circuit breaker combines thermomagnetic protection with a practical DIN rail-mounted design, allowing straightforward integration into new and existing electrical enclosures. Its robust construction makes it a suitable choice for OEM machine builders, control panel manufacturers and maintenance engineers requiring reliable circuit protection.

Featuring a 16 A rated current, a 2-pole configuration and a C curve tripping characteristic, the UB10C2016A is designed for circuits with moderate inrush currents. Its 10 kA interrupting capacity helps provide effective protection in demanding industrial installations.

Reliable Circuit Protection for Industrial Equipment

Miniature circuit breakers protect cables, machinery and electrical equipment by automatically disconnecting a circuit when an overload or short circuit occurs. Thermomagnetic operation provides delayed protection against sustained overloads and rapid disconnection during high-current fault conditions.

The IMO UB10C2016A is suitable for industrial installations that require compact branch circuit protection and convenient resetting after a fault. Its C curve characteristic accommodates the temporary starting currents commonly produced by motors, transformers, contactors and other inductive equipment.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial control panels.
  • Automation and process control systems.
  • OEM machinery and production equipment.
  • Motor and transformer control circuits.
  • Electrical distribution enclosures.
  • Industrial branch circuit protection.
