Why Choose the IMO UB10C1040A Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The IMO UB10C1040A is a compact UL 489 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Part of the IMO UB10 circuit breaker series, it provides dependable branch circuit protection for industrial machinery, automation equipment, control panels and electrical distribution systems.
Featuring a 40 A rated current, a C curve trip characteristic and a 10 kA short-circuit interrupting capacity, the UB10C1040A is suitable for circuits containing equipment with moderate starting currents. Typical connected loads can include motors, transformers, solenoids, power supplies and industrial control equipment.
The UB10C1040A combines thermal overload protection with magnetic short-circuit protection to provide effective fault isolation. Its compact single-pole construction and DIN rail mounting format support straightforward installation inside machinery panels, distribution boards and industrial electrical enclosures.
