Why Choose the Chint NB1-63C3P16 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The Chint NB1-63C3P16 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 3 pole C curve MCB features a 16 A rated current, making it suitable for three-phase lighting circuits, control circuits, small motors, transformers and mixed inductive loads. The C curve tripping characteristic allows for moderate inrush currents, making it suitable for commercial and light industrial applications.
With a rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6 kA and a standard 35 mm DIN rail mounting format, the NB1-63C3P16 is easy to install within distribution boards and electrical control panels. Its 3 pole design provides simultaneous isolation and protection across all three phases.

Reliable Protection for Three-Phase Mixed Load Circuits
Miniature circuit breakers such as the Chint NB1-63C3P16 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 trips between five and ten times the rated current, making it suitable for mixed resistive and inductive loads, lighting circuits, control circuits, small motors, transformers and three-phase circuits with moderate inrush current.
Typical Applications
- Three-phase distribution boards.
- Industrial control panels.
- Lighting circuits.
- Control and signalling circuits.
- Small motors and transformers.
- Electrical installations requiring 16 A three-phase protection.
