Tesla MCB1P32 Single Pole 32 Amp 6kA C Curve Miniature Circuit Breaker

Description

Thirty-two amps, single phase. Compressors, EV fast chargers, heavy loads.

The Tesla MCB1P32 is a Single Pole 32A 6kA C Curve Miniature Circuit Breaker built to IEC/EN60898. At 32A it's the high-capacity end of the single-phase MCB range — the standard choice for workshop air compressors, higher-output EV chargers, large hot water systems, and single-phase sub-main feeds across Australian trade, industrial, and commercial installations.

Built for Workshop and Heavy Single-Phase Loads

The 32A rating is where single-phase MCBs step into serious load territory. Workshop air compressors are one of the most common applications — a single-phase compressor in an auto workshop, fabrication facility, or trade premises typically draws 20–28A running current, with inrush that the C Curve handles comfortably. Higher-output single-phase EV chargers (7.2kW / ~32A) also land squarely at this rating, making the MCB1P32 increasingly common on residential garage and light commercial EV charging jobs.

The thermal-magnetic trip delivers two-stage protection: bi-metal for sustained overloads, magnetic for instantaneous short-circuit response. At 6kA it handles fault levels typical in Australian commercial and light industrial switchboards. The 1 module footprint keeps boards compact even at high current ratings — same slim profile as the 10A, none of the bulk of a two-pole device.

Termination and Installation

Clips straight onto 35mm DIN rail. The pillar clamp terminal accepts rigid conductors up to 25mm² — no ferrules required. IP20 is appropriate for any enclosed switchboard or distribution enclosure. Same HPC2 construction, approval (V08030), and IEC/EN60898 compliance as every other MCB in the range.

Q: Is the MCB1P32 the right breaker for a 7.2kW single-phase EV charger?
A: A 7.2kW single-phase EV charger draws approximately 32A at full output, so a 32A breaker is the correct rating for this application. Always confirm with the charger manufacturer's installation guide and the cable sizing requirements of AS/NZS 3000, and ensure installation is carried out by a licensed electrician.

Q: Is the Tesla MCB1P32 approved for use in Australian switchboards?
A: Yes. The MCB1P32 carries Australian regulatory approval number V08030 and is manufactured to IEC/EN60898. It is suitable for use in compliant Australian residential, commercial, and light industrial switchboard installations.

Q: What conductor sizes does the MCB1P32 accept?
A: The pillar clamp terminal accepts rigid (solid or stranded) copper conductors up to 25mm². Always confirm cable sizing against the circuit load, installation method, and AS/NZS 3000 for 32A circuit requirements.
