Chint NXB63-1P-C16 Circuit Breaker

Chint NXB63-1P-C16 Circuit Breaker: Function, Parameters and Application Guide

 I. Core Functions and Technical Parameters

The **Chint NXB63-1P-C16 Circuit Breaker** is a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) specially designed for single-phase circuits. Its core functions include:

1. **Overload Protection* Schneider Circuit Breakers Price*:

   - **Tripping Curve**: Type C curve (suitable for lighting and general power distribution loads), which can withstand a short-term impact of 5-10 times the rated current.

   - **Setting Current**: 16A. When the circuit current exceeds 16A, the bimetallic strip heats up and bends to trigger tripping. The response time varies with the degree of overload (for example, it will operate within about 1 hour when the current is 1.5 times the rated current).

2. *Short-circuit Protection*Chint's NB1-63DC series DC circuit breakers Price*:

   - **Instantaneous Tripping**: When the current reaches 10 times the rated current (160A), the electromagnetic tripping device cuts off the circuit within 0.1 seconds.

   - **Breaking Capacity**: 6kA (suitable for residential and small commercial scenarios, and can safely cut off the short-circuit current).

3. **Under-voltage Protection*Chint NXR series thermal overload relays price*:

   - **Automatic Tripping**: When the voltage is lower than 70% of the rated voltage (for example, lower than 154V in a 220V circuit), the circuit breaker automatically disconnects.

4. **Isolation Function*CHINT contactor price*:

   - **Manual Operation**: The on-off control of the circuit is realized through the handle, and it supports the indication of the "on-off" status.

**Key Parameters**:

 II. Applicable Scenarios and Typical Applications

1. **Residential Power Distribution*CHINT surge protector price*:

   - **Lighting Circuit**: The single-pole 16A is suitable for the combined load of multiple LED lamps or small electrical appliances (such as fans, chargers).

   - **Socket Circuit**: It can protect a single or multiple ordinary sockets (to avoid overload or short-circuit).

2. **Commercial and Light Industry*Schneider LRD Thermal Relay Price*:

   - **Small Equipment**: It provides power supply protection for office equipment such as coffee machines, printers, and projectors.

   - **Temporary Power Supply**: Overload protection for temporary distribution boxes at construction sites or exhibitions.

3. **Replacement and Upgrade**:

   - **Replacement of DZ47 Series**: NXB63 is an upgraded version of DZ47. It is dimensionally compatible (width 18mm), but the breaking capacity is increased to 6kA.

III. Installation and Wiring Guide

1. **Physical Installation**:

   - **Rail Fixing**: It supports installation on a 35mm standard DIN rail and is quickly fixed by a snap spring.

   - **Size Reference**: 81mm×18mm×77.8mm (Length×Width×Height), saving space in the distribution box.

2. **Electrical Connection**:

   - **Incoming Line Terminal**: Connect the live wire (L) of the power supply to the "incoming line" terminal of the circuit breaker.

   - **Outgoing Line Terminal**: Connect the live wire of the load to the "outgoing line" terminal, and the neutral wire (N) is directly connected to the neutral wire busbar of the distribution box.

   - **Precautions**:

     - The tightening torque of the terminal needs to reach 2.5N·m to avoid overheating caused by poor contact.

     - Recommended wire cross-sectional area: 1.5-4mm² (copper wire).

3. **Debugging and Testing**:

   - **Manual Test**: After closing the switch, gently touch the handle with an insulated tool to confirm that the tripping function is normal.

   - **Load Test**: Gradually increase the load to 1.13 times the rated current (18A) and observe whether it trips within 1 hour.

IV. Certification and Compliance

1. **Domestic Certification**:

   - **CCC Certification**: It complies with the Chinese Compulsory Product Certification Standard (Certificate Number: 202408...).

   - **GB/T 10963.1**: It complies with the national standard for overcurrent protection circuit breakers for household and similar installations.

2. **International Compatibility**:

   - **CE Certification**: Some models (such as NXB-63H) have passed the EU certification, but the specific model needs to be confirmed.

   - **UL Certification**: It is not clearly mentioned in the search results. For the US market, it is recommended to choose Square D QO series or Eaton BR series as alternatives.

2. **Alternative Models**:

   - **Same Brand**: NXB63-1P-C20 (20A) or NXB63-2P-C16 (Two-pole 16A).

   - **Other Brands**:

     - **Schneider**: iC65N 1P C16 (Breaking capacity 6kA, compatible with rail installation).

     - **Siemens**: 5SJ6 116-7 (Breaking capacity 6kA, with a test button).

VI. Common Problems and Maintenance Suggestions

1. **Reasons for Frequent Tripping**:

   - **Overload**: Check whether the total load exceeds 16A (such as 16A×220V = 3520W).

   - **Short-circuit**: Use a multimeter to detect the insulation resistance of the circuit and check for short-circuit points.

   - **Poor Contact**: Check whether the terminals are loose and whether the wires are oxidized.

2. **Maintenance Key Points**:

   - **Regular Inspection**: Manually operate the circuit breaker once a quarter to ensure that the mechanical parts are flexible.

   - **Cleaning and Maintenance**: Wipe off the dust with a dry cloth to prevent metal debris from entering the interior.

   - **Life Prompt**: If the number of tripping times exceeds 10,000 times, it is recommended to replace the circuit breaker.

 VII. Summary and Suggestions

- **Core Advantages**: High cost-performance, small size, and the breaking capacity meets the standard, suitable for family and small commercial scenarios.

- **Limitations**: No leakage protection function (needs to be used with a leakage circuit breaker), and the UL certification needs to be confirmed for the US market.

- **Action Suggestions**:

  1. Check the load power before installation to ensure that it does not exceed the 16A capacity.

  2. If leakage protection is required, choose NXB63-1P+N-C16 (with neutral wire) or an external leakage module.

  3. US users should give priority to Square D QO116 (1P 16A, UL certification) or Eaton BR116.
