Why it Matters

High-current single-module protection.
The NT150C is a 50A miniature circuit breaker, protecting a circuit against both overload and short circuit and tripping automatically when either occurs. A 50A rating suits sub-mains and heavy feeds – sub-boards, large machinery and high-demand distribution circuits – and its high 10kA breaking capacity handles the fault levels found in commercial and industrial switchboards, all in a single DIN module.

C curve for general-purpose 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 moderately inductive loads. Backed by a 10kA short-circuit breaking capacity to IEC 60898-1 and energy limiting class 3, the NT150C limits let-through energy during a fault to help protect downstream cabling and equipment.

Built for Australian switchboards.
At one module (17.5mm) wide, 83mm high and 70mm deep, the NT150C 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 meter boxes, distribution boards and plant rooms across Australian conditions. Hager auxiliaries including the MZ201 auxiliary contact, MZ202 alarm contact and MZ203/MZ204 shunt trips are available.

Q: What is the Hager NT150C used for?
It is a 50A single-pole MCB for protecting sub-mains and heavy distribution feeds – such as sub-boards and large machinery circuits – against overload and short circuit, with a 10kA rating suited to commercial and industrial boards.

Q: What does the C curve mean on the NT150C?
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 moderately inductive loads.

Q: What is the difference between the NT150C (10kA) and a 6kA MCB?
10kA is the rated short-circuit breaking capacity, suited to higher-fault commercial and industrial boards; a 6kA breaker such as Hager's MSN range is used where fault levels are lower, typically residential and light commercial.
