Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this circuit breaker?

The MK Sentry H5963S is designed to protect electrical circuits from damage caused by overcurrents (overloads and short circuits) in domestic installations.

Can this breaker be used for industrial applications?

No, this specific model is designed and rated for domestic installations only.

How does the padlock feature work?

The operating dolly can be fitted with a padlock (sold separately) to keep the breaker in either the ON or OFF position, preventing unauthorized operation.

What does 'Type B' mean for this breaker?

Type B indicates the tripping characteristic. It trips between 3 to 5 times the rated current and is generally suitable for resistive loads and some light inductive loads found in homes.

What is a '6kA' rating?

The 6kA rating refers to the short-circuit breaking capacity, meaning it can safely interrupt a fault current of up to 6000 Amperes.

Is the padlock accessory included with the breaker?

No, the padlock accessory is sold separately.

Can this breaker be used on a three-phase system?

This is a single-pole (SP) breaker, designed for single-phase circuits. It cannot be used to switch all three phases simultaneously on a three-phase system.

Troubleshooting

Breaker trips frequently.

Check the connected circuit for overloads (too many appliances) or short circuits. Investigate appliance functionality or wiring faults.

Breaker will not switch ON.

Ensure the circuit is clear of faults and the breaker is not locked in the OFF position by a padlock. Check for physical damage to the dolly.

Breaker feels loose on the DIN rail.

Re-seat the breaker firmly onto the DIN rail, ensuring the clip mechanism engages securely. Check the DIN rail itself for damage.
