10 kA short-circuit breaking capacity for solid downstream protection
Type C trip curve (5-10 × In) tames moderate inrush on motors & HVAC
Quick-break mechanism cuts fault energy fast
True red/green contact-position indicator for instant status checks
Energy-limiting Class 3 reduces thermal stress on cables
Anti-weld silver-alloy contacts + 13-plate arc-chute = long life, crisp arc-quench
Trip-free design with IP20 finger-safe terminals
Two-position DIN clamp for tool-free mounting
Rated -5 °C … 50 °C, 95 % RH—built “Made for India” tough
With the PLSI-C16/3-GI, Eaton shrinks premium 10 kA performance into a wallet-friendly package tailored for Indian switchboards. Its C-curve handles everyday inductive loads without nuisance trips, while silver contacts and an oversized arc-chute push service life up to 10 000 mechanical operations. Add the red/green window, and technicians can spot breaker status from across the panel—speeding maintenance and boosting safety.

Q1: Can I retrofit this MCB into an existing Schneider/ABB DIN rail?
A1: Yes—its 52.5 mm DIN footprint and two-position clamp fit standard 35 mm rails.
Q2: Will the C-curve nuisance-trip on LED lighting?
A2: No—C-curve tolerates 5-10 × In inrush, typical for LEDs and small motors.
Q3: Do you provide test certificates?
A3: Absolutely—Shansen Enterprises supplies ISI/CE conformity and factory routine-test reports upon request.
