Why Choose the IMO US10C1020A UL1077 Miniature Circuit Breaker?
The IMO US10C1020A is a compact and dependable UL1077 supplementary miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to protect industrial control circuits against overload and short circuit conditions. Manufactured by IMO Precision Controls, it provides reliable supplementary protection for machinery, automation equipment, OEM systems and electrical control panels.
Designed for panel builders, machine manufacturers and industrial maintenance engineers, the US10C1020A combines thermal-magnetic protection with a space-saving DIN rail mounted format. Its C curve tripping characteristic accommodates the moderate inrush currents associated with motors, transformers, contactors, solenoids and other inductive electrical loads.
With a rated current of 20 A, a single-pole configuration and a 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity, the IMO US10C1020A delivers effective circuit protection while helping reduce equipment damage, electrical downtime and maintenance requirements.
Key Advantages
- Compact UL1077 supplementary protector for industrial control applications.
- 20 A current rating suitable for machinery and automation circuits.
- 10 kA breaking capacity for dependable short circuit protection.
- C curve tripping characteristic suitable for moderate inrush currents.
- Space-saving single-pole modular design.
- Quick installation onto a standard 35 mm DIN rail.
Key Features
- IMO US10 UL1077 series.
- 20 A rated current.
- Single-pole (1P) configuration.
- C curve tripping characteristic.
- 10 kA short circuit breaking capacity.
- Thermal-magnetic overload and short circuit protection.
