Why it Matters

Protects all three phases together.
The MSN316 is a 16A three-pole miniature circuit breaker, protecting a three-phase circuit against both overload and short circuit and tripping automatically when either occurs. Its three linked poles switch and protect all three phases as one, a common choice for three-phase power sub-circuits, small motors and distribution feeds in homes and light commercial boards, with a 6kA breaking capacity for the fault levels found in those switchboards.

C curve for motor and mixed loads.
The C tripping characteristic trips on short circuit at 5 to 10 times rated current, the general-purpose curve suited to mixed resistive and inductive loads including the inrush of three-phase motors. Backed by a 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity to IEC 60898-1 and energy limiting class 3, the MSN316 limits let-through energy during a fault to help protect downstream cabling.

Built for Australian switchboards.
At three modules (52.5mm) wide, 83mm high and 70mm deep, the MSN316 clips onto standard 35mm DIN rail with 360° mounting flexibility, and its terminals take rigid conductors up to 35mm² at 2.8Nm. It is compliant with AS/NZS 60898.1, rated IP20, and operates from -25°C to 70°C to suit distribution boards and homes across Australian conditions. Hager auxiliaries including the MZ201 auxiliary contact, MZ202 alarm contact and MZ203/MZ204 shunt trips are available.

Q: Is the Hager MSN316 a three-phase breaker?
Yes. It is a 3-pole (3P) MCB that switches and protects all three phases of a 415V circuit together; it does not include a separate neutral pole.

Q: What does the C curve mean on the MSN316?
The C curve trips on short circuit at 5 to 10 times the rated current, making it the general-purpose characteristic for mixed resistive and inductive loads including motors.

Q: What is the difference between the MSN316 (6kA) and a 10kA MCB?
6kA is the rated short-circuit breaking capacity, suited to residential and light commercial boards; a 10kA breaker such as Hager's NT range is specified where fault levels are higher, typically in commercial and industrial installations.
