IMO UB10C3016A 16A UL 489 Circuit Breaker, 3-pole, C Curve, 10kA
16A 3-pole C-curve miniature circuit breaker with thermo-magnetic protection, 10kA breaking capacity, DIN-rail mounting, and UL 489 approval.
Why Choose the IMO UB10C3016A Circuit Breaker?
The IMO Precision Controls UB10C3016A is a 16A 3-pole miniature circuit breaker for three-phase machinery and control-panel branches designed for 16A protection with moderate startup current. 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 response during severe faults. The C curve accommodates moderate equipment inrush while still responding rapidly to severe faults. A contact-position indicator provides a clear visual reference during inspection and troubleshooting.
ā” 16A Rating
Protects a correctly sized 3-pole branch circuit rated for 16A
š C Trip Curve
5ā10 Ć In magnetic range supports loads with moderate startup current
š”ļø 10kA Capacity
Provides 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 Coordinate the 16A 3-pole Breaker with the Load
Confirm the 16A rating, 3-pole configuration, conductor current, 480Y/277V AC rating, available fault current, C trip curve, ambient conditions, and equipment requirements before installation.
š 16A C-Curve Magnetic Trip Range
The C-curve magnetic element operates at 5ā10 times rated current. For the UB10C3016A, this corresponds to an instantaneous magnetic range of approximately 80ā160A. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads. 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 16A 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.
