Why Choose the IMO UB10D3016A Miniature Circuit Breaker?

The IMO UB10D3016A is a robust UL489 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in industrial and commercial electrical installations. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, this compact circuit breaker helps protect machinery, electrical equipment and distribution circuits while supporting safe and dependable operation.

Featuring a 3-pole configuration, a 16 A rated current and a D curve tripping characteristic, the UB10D3016A is particularly suitable for circuits supplying motors, transformers, solenoids and other inductive loads with high starting currents. Its modular DIN rail format enables straightforward installation inside control panels and electrical distribution boards.

With a 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity and thermal-magnetic protection, the UB10D3016A provides effective fault interruption in demanding industrial environments. Its durable construction and compact design make it a practical choice for machine builders, panel manufacturers, automation engineers and electrical contractors.

Reliable Protection for Industrial Electrical Systems

Miniature circuit breakers automatically disconnect an electrical circuit when excessive current is detected. Thermal protection responds to sustained overload conditions, while magnetic protection provides rapid operation during short circuits. This helps protect wiring, machinery and connected equipment from electrical damage.

The D curve characteristic of the IMO UB10D3016A permits higher temporary inrush currents before magnetic tripping occurs. This makes the breaker suitable for industrial equipment that draws substantial current during start-up while maintaining reliable protection against genuine electrical faults.

Typical Applications

  • Three-phase motor circuits.
  • Industrial control panels.
  • Transformers and inductive loads.
  • Machine building and OEM equipment.
  • Factory automation systems.
  • Commercial and industrial distribution boards.
