Schneider Electric GB2CB16 Circuit Protector 10A Din Rail

Product Description

The SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC GB2CB16 is a 10 amp, 1-pole circuit protector designed for DIN rail installation in industrial and commercial control panels. It uses a thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism to protect downstream equipment from overloads and short-circuit faults. The toggle-switch reset actuator allows for fast manual reset after a trip event. At 0.11 pounds and a compact 2.9 x 2.8 x 0.6 inches, it fits cleanly into tight DIN rail assemblies. Licensed electricians and panel builders install this device in motor control centers, machinery control enclosures, and distribution panels where branch circuit protection is required.

The GB2CB16 is suited for residential, commercial, and light industrial control panel applications where a single-pole, DIN rail-mounted circuit protector is needed. It mounts via clip to backplate or standard DIN rail, making it compatible with common panel layouts. Typical install scenarios include protecting 24-volt control circuits, small motor branch circuits, and instrumentation wiring inside enclosed control assemblies. Its multiple breaking capacity ratings make it adaptable across a range of fault-current environments.

Key Features

• 10 amp continuous rating with thermal-magnetic trip for overload and short-circuit protection
• 1-pole configuration for single-phase or control-circuit branch protection
• DIN rail mount with backplate clip for fast, tool-friendly installation
• Toggle-switch reset actuator for quick manual reset after trip
• Multiple breaking capacity ratings for use in varied fault-current environments
• Compact footprint at 2.9 x 2.8 x 0.6 inches and 0.11 pounds

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement circuit protector for standard DIN rail control panel assemblies requiring a 10 amp, 1-pole thermal-magnetic device.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and any applicable local codes. De-energize and lock out the panel before mounting or wiring this device. Secure the unit firmly to the DIN rail via the backplate clip before making any load or line connections. Verify the upstream supply voltage and available fault current are within the rated breaking capacity of this protector before commissioning.
