IMO UB10C301.6A 1.6A UL 489 Circuit Breaker, 3-pole, C Curve, 10kA, 480Y/277V AC
1.6A 3-pole miniature circuit breaker with C-curve thermo-magnetic protection, 10kA interrupting capacity, DIN-rail mounting, and UL 489 approval.
Why Choose the IMO UB10C301.6A Circuit Breaker?
The IMO Precision Controls UB10C301.6A is a 1.6A 3-pole miniature circuit breaker for very low-current three-pole AC branches where a 1.6A rating is needed to coordinate with sensitive equipment and conductor sizing. It is rated for 480Y/277V AC and provides UL 489 branch-circuit protection in industrial control panels, machinery, and distribution equipment when applied within its electrical ratings.
Thermo-magnetic operation combines a thermal response for sustained overloads with rapid magnetic tripping during severe faults. The C-curve characteristic is designed for correctly engineered loads with moderate inrush, while the contact-position indicator gives maintenance personnel a clear visual reference during inspection and troubleshooting.
ā” 1.6A Rating
Protects a correctly sized circuit rated for 1.6A
š 3 Poles
Provides 3-pole protection for a properly designed three-conductor AC branch
š”ļø 10kA Capacity
Offers 10kA short-circuit breaking capacity for suitable electrical systems
ā
UL 489 Approved
Approved for branch-circuit protection when selected and installed correctly
ā ļø Verify the Complete 1.6A 3-pole Circuit Design
Do not select this breaker from current rating alone. Confirm the 1.6A rating, 3-pole configuration, conductor current, load requirements, 480Y/277V AC rating, available fault current, C trip curve, ambient conditions, and applicable electrical codes before installation.
š 1.6A C-Curve Magnetic Trip Range
The C-curve magnetic element operates at 5ā10 times rated current. For the UB10C301.6A, that corresponds to a specified instantaneous magnetic range of approximately 8ā16A. The thermal element provides overload response below severe fault levels. Always confirm coordination with normal startup current and upstream or downstream protective devices.

š 3-pole Breaker Selection and Installation Overview
1. Calculate the Load: Confirm that conductor current and connected equipment are compatible with a 1.6A protective device.
2. Verify Pole and Voltage Requirements: Confirm that the circuit requires 3 poles and operates within the 480Y/277V AC rating.
3. Check Fault and Inrush Current: Verify the available fault current, 10kA breaking capacity, and compatibility of the C curve with normal startup demand.
4. Mount and Terminate: Install on DIN rail using conductors within the specified 18ā3 AWG range and apply the listed 2.5 Nm terminal torque.
5. Inspect Before Energizing: Verify wiring, labeling, protective-device coordination, and code compliance before commissioning.
Circuit-breaker selection and installation must be completed by qualified personnel in accordance with the equipment documentation and applicable electrical codes.
