Breaking Capacity | Industrial machinery, high-current systems | Industry Standard: 3–5 kA (IEC 60947-2) Our Base: 6 kA (IEC 60947-2) ▲ Our Advanced: 10 kA (UL 489) ▲▲ | Handles extreme surges (e.g., motor startups) Our Base: 60% higher than standard Our Advanced: 100% higher | Higher capacity models may require larger panel space Premium pricing for advanced tiers |
Rated Current | Residential/commercial circuits | Industry Standard: Up to 40 A Our Base: 16–32 A ▲ Our Advanced: 32–63 A ▲▲ | Flexible sizing for diverse loads Our Advanced: Supports heavy-duty appliances (e.g., HVAC systems) | Base models may underperform in high-demand scenarios Advanced tiers cost 30% more |
Material & Flame Resistance | Fire-safety critical areas (e.g., server rooms) | Industry Standard: UL 94 V-2 plastic Our Base/Advanced: UL 94 V-0 plastic (flame-retardant) ▲ | Our Versions: Self-extinguishing within 10 seconds (per ASTM E84) | No significant disadvantage; standard across tiers |
Polarity Sensitivity | DC-powered systems (solar panels, EVs) | Industry Standard: AC-only Our Base/Advanced: DC-compatible (IEC 60947-2) ▲ | Our Versions: Safely handles DC ripple effects Unique in competing MCBs | Requires proper polarity wiring (risk of misinstallation) |
Voltage Rating | High-voltage applications (industrial plants) | Industry Standard: ≤250 V Our Base: 250 V ▲ Our Advanced: 500 V ▲▲ | Our Advanced: Operates in 400 V DC systems (common in factories) | Base models limit use in high-voltage environments |
Arc-Flash Protection | Hazardous electrical environments | Industry Standard: Basic arc containment Our Base/Advanced: Arc-resistant design (IEC 61641) ▲ | Reduces explosion risk by 70% in fault conditions | Slightly heavier than non-arc-resistant models |
