Legrand DX3 MCB
Overview
The Legrand DX3 MCB (miniature circuit breaker) protects home and office electrical distribution boards from overload and short-circuit faults, automatically cutting power to the affected circuit before wiring or connected appliances are damaged. It's available across single-pole through four-pole configurations and a range of current ratings, covering everything from a single lighting circuit to a full three-phase distribution setup.
Key Specifications
- Type: Miniature circuit breaker (MCB), overload and short-circuit protection
- Pole configurations: 1 Pole, 2 Pole, 3 Pole, 4 Pole
- Current ratings: 10A to 63A depending on pole configuration
- Use: Home and office electrical distribution boards
Available Configurations
- 1 Pole (10A/20A/25A/32A) — for individual single-phase circuits like lighting or a socket circuit.
- 2 Pole (25A/32A/40A/63A) — for single-phase circuits needing both line and neutral switching, such as higher-load appliance circuits.
- 3 Pole (32A/40A/63A) — for three-phase circuits, typically for larger motors or three-phase distribution sub-boards.
- 4 Pole (32A/40A/63A) — for three-phase-plus-neutral circuits and main incomer protection on larger distribution boards.
How to Use
- Have a licensed electrician select the pole configuration and amperage matching your circuit's load and phase requirement.
- Mount the MCB onto the DIN rail inside the distribution board.
- Wire the circuit as per the terminal markings — this should always be done by a qualified electrician.
- If the MCB trips, identify and resolve the overload or fault before resetting it.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which amperage rating I need?
The rating should match the load and wire size of the specific circuit — this is a job for a licensed electrician to size correctly, not a general online estimate.
What's the difference between 1 Pole and 2 Pole?
A 1 Pole MCB switches only the line wire; a 2 Pole MCB switches both line and neutral, often used for higher-load or safety-critical single-phase circuits.
