Frequently Asked Questions
What is a C16 Double Pole MCB used for?
A C16 Double Pole MCB is the most common MCB in Indian homes. It protects general power circuits — refrigerators, TVs, power sockets, and mixers. Unlike a Single Pole MCB, it disconnects both live and neutral wires simultaneously, providing complete electrical isolation. It trips automatically during overload or short circuit up to 16 Amperes.
What does “C16” mean in MCB?
“C” is the tripping curve for general loads. “16” is the current rating the MCB trips when current exceeds 16 Amperes.
What is the difference between a C16 and C20 MCB?
C16 is for general home power circuits. C20 is required for higher-load appliances like geysers and washing machines. If your geyser trips a C16 frequently, upgrade to C20.
Can I use a C16 MCB for AC?
C16 can handle a small 0.75-ton AC. For 1.5-ton or larger ACs, use a C32 MCB. Check your AC’s nameplate current rating before selecting the MCB.
Is the Konn C16 Double Pole MCB ISI certified?
Yes, the Konn C16 Double Pole MCB is ISI certified, making it safe and reliable for standard Indian residential wiring.
