Why Choose the Chint NB1-63C2P20 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Chint NB1-63C2P20 is a compact and dependable miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect low voltage electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. As part of the Chint NB1-63 series, it provides reliable circuit protection for residential, commercial and light industrial electrical installations.
This 2 pole C curve MCB features a 20 A rated current, making it suitable for socket outlet circuits, radial circuits, control panels, auxiliary supplies and lightly inductive loads. The C curve tripping characteristic allows for moderate inrush currents, making it ideal for mixed resistive and inductive applications.
With a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA and a standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting format, the NB1-63C2P20 is easy to install within consumer units, distribution boards and electrical control panels. Its 2 pole design enables simultaneous disconnection of both conductors for improved circuit isolation.

Reliable Protection for Mixed Load Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the Chint NB1-63C2P20 automatically disconnect electrical circuits when overloads or short circuits occur. This helps protect wiring, connected equipment and electrical installations from excessive current and fault conditions.
The C curve characteristic makes this MCB suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, including socket outlet circuits, radial circuits, control equipment, relays, small motors, transformers and mixed electrical loads where a B curve device may nuisance trip.
Typical Applications
- Residential consumer units.
- Commercial distribution boards.
- Socket outlet circuits.
- Radial final circuits.
- Control and auxiliary circuits.
- Electrical installations requiring 20 A protection.
