Why it Matters

Built for Australian conditions

The MX9MC232 is designed to operate across a wide ambient range of −25°C to +70°C (with derating), making it suitable for switchboards in hot roof spaces, sheds and exposed plant rooms. It carries the RCM mark and is built to AS/NZS 60898, so it meets the compliance expectations of licensed electricians working to the Wiring Rules.

Handles heavier sub-circuits

At 32A the MX9MC232 suits larger power circuits, sub-mains feeds and mixed-load boards where a 25A device would sit too close to normal running current. Tunnel-type terminals accept up to 35mm² rigid conductors with a 3.5 N.m tightening torque, giving a solid, gas-tight connection on the heavier cables typical of these circuits.

Fast, flexible installation

Line connection can be taken from either the top or bottom, and the breaker is compatible with the MAX9 18mm pitch pin-type busbar system. A double locking clip speeds mounting and removal on the DIN rail. Endurance is rated at 20,000 mechanical and 10,000 electrical cycles.

Is the MX9MC232 a single or double pole breaker?
It is a 2-pole (double pole) MCB, switching and protecting two poles simultaneously.

What size cable can I use with the MX9MC232?
The tunnel terminals accept up to 25mm² flexible or 35mm² rigid conductors, from top or bottom, at 3.5 N.m tightening torque.

What is the breaking capacity of the MX9MC232?
It has a 6000A (6kA) short-circuit breaking capacity at 415V AC, conforming to AS/NZS 60898.
