Powermax BRK-PMMCB10
The Powermax 10A MCB provides essential overcurrent protection for low-power electrical circuits in commercial and industrial environments. This miniature circuit breaker monitors current flow to prevent equipment damage from sustained overloads and sudden short circuits. It utilizes a C-curve tripping characteristic to manage moderate inductive loads without nuisance tripping. The unit mounts directly onto standard 35mm DIN rails for rapid integration into distribution boards. It maintains a compact 18mm width to optimize space within high-density consumer units.
Key Features
-
Thermal-Magnetic Trip Mechanism
The internal bi-metallic strip reacts to thermal overloads while an electromagnetic solenoid provides instantaneous protection against short-circuit faults. -
Advanced Arc Quenching
- Integrated arc chutes dissipate electrical arcs during high-current disconnection.
- Multi-plate cooling fins reduce contact wear during fault interruptions.
-
Contact Status Indication
The toggle switch features a mechanical flag indicator showing green for open contacts and red for closed circuits. -
Terminal Security
- Box-style terminals accommodate cable cross-sections up to 25mm².
- IP20-rated finger-safe housing prevents accidental contact with live components.
The 10-Ampere protective module consists of flame-retardant thermoplastic housing capable of withstanding high temperatures. This material ensures structural integrity during extreme fault conditions. The device supports a rated breaking capacity of 6,000 Amperes, allowing it to safely interrupt significant fault currents. It operates across a voltage range of 230V to 400V AC at a frequency of 50/60Hz. The mechanical service life exceeds 20,000 operations under normal load conditions. Silver-alloy contact points ensure low electrical resistance and minimize heat generation during continuous operation. This component complies with IEC 60898-1 international safety standards for household and similar electrical installations. Each unit undergoes rigorous factory testing to ensure trip accuracy within specified current tolerances. The side-clip mechanism allows for easy removal from the rail without disturbing adjacent breakers.

I’ve started switching to these Powermax units for my residential projects in Syokimau. This 10A single pole is very reliable for standard lighting loads. The C-curve characteristic is ideal because it handles the initial surge from LED drivers much better than the older B-type breakers we used to get. Terminals are solid and tighten down properly without stripping. Good value for money.

Installed this for our shop’s lighting circuit last month. The DIN rail fit is perfect and it doesn’t feel cheap like some other brands in the market. For a 10A breaker, it’s doing the job well without any nuisance tripping.
