With a 6kA breaking capacity and a Type C tripping curve, it suits residential, commercial, and light industrial circuits with moderate inrush currents. The 2-pole (Line + Neutral) configuration provides full double-pole isolation and mounts easily into Hager DIN-rail distribution boards used across UAE installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: MCN240, 40A rated current, 2P (double pole) configuration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6kA rated breaking capacity (Icn) to IEC 60898-1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType C tripping curve for circuits with moderate inrush current\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 modules (35mm total width) — compact double-pole DIN-rail footprint\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP20 enclosure rating with a wide -25°C to +70°C operating range\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScrew-terminal connections, rigid conductors up to 35mm² \/ flexible up to 25mm²\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFully compliant with IEC 60898-1, IEC 60947-2, and IEC 60664\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHager\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMCN240\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Current\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePoles\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2P (Double Pole)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBreaking Capacity (Icn)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 kA per IEC 60898-1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTripping Curve\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRated Operating Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e415 V AC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFrequency\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50 - 60 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInsulation Voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e500 V (4,000 V impulse withstand)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 modules (35 mm total width)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP Rating\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIP20\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOperating Temperature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e-25°C to +70°C\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConductor Capacity\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRigid 1-35 mm² \/ Flexible 1-25 mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStandards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIEC 60898-1, IEC 60947-2, IEC 60664\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOrigin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in France\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMounting\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN Rail (EN 60715)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eApplications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResidential villas and apartments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial buildings: offices, schools, hospitals, retail outlets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight industrial power distribution systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircuits requiring double-pole isolation with Type C tripping characteristics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between an MCB and an RCCB\/RCD?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn MCB (like the MCN240) protects the circuit and cabling against overload and short-circuit currents. An RCCB\/RCD instead protects against earth leakage and electric shock. The two devices do different jobs and are typically installed together, not as substitutes for one another.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does 2-pole (2P) mean and when do I need it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 2-pole breaker switches both the line and neutral conductors together, giving full double-pole isolation. It's typically specified where a circuit or sub-board needs complete disconnection from supply, rather than the single-pole (line-only) switching used on standard final circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIs the MCN240 compatible with existing Hager distribution boards?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. It's a standard DIN-rail (EN 60715) mounted MCB and integrates directly into Hager's modular consumer units and distribution boards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between Type B and Type C tripping curves?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eType C trips at roughly 5-10 times rated current, giving it enough margin to handle the inrush of motors, transformers, and lighting ballasts without nuisance tripping. Type B trips at a lower 3-5x threshold and suits purely resistive loads. Type C is the common choice for mixed commercial and light industrial circuits.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCan I install this myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This is a distribution board component and must be installed and connected by a licensed electrician in accordance with UAE wiring regulations — it is not a DIY consumer product.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hager","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41797538906211,"sku":"MCN240","price":82.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/6570\/1475\/files\/MCN240.webp?v=1786954812","url":"https:\/\/www.deluxeuae.com\/products\/hager-40a-2p-mcb-type-c-mcn240","provider":"Deluxe Electricals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
