Why Choose the IMO UB10C3016A Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The IMO UB10C3016A is a high-performance UL489 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable overload and short circuit protection for industrial control panels, machinery and commercial electrical installations. Part of the trusted IMO UB10 series, this three-pole circuit breaker delivers dependable protection while meeting recognised international standards.

Designed for demanding industrial applications, the UB10C3016A features a C curve tripping characteristic, making it ideal for protecting circuits with moderate inrush currents, including motors, transformers and industrial control equipment. Its thermal-magnetic protection mechanism ensures rapid fault isolation while helping to minimise unnecessary tripping during normal equipment start-up.

With a rated current of 16 A, a three-pole configuration and a 10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity, the IMO UB10C3016A is an excellent choice for OEM machine builders, panel manufacturers and electrical contractors requiring dependable circuit protection. Its compact DIN rail mounted design allows quick installation within electrical enclosures and distribution systems.
