1P ALF6K mcb: 6kA Single Pole Protection for Modern Panels
Upgrade your Electrical Panels with the1P ALF10K MCB.Designed for modern residential and commercial distribution boards, this 6kA single-pole Miniature Circuit Breaker delivers reliable short-circuit protection and overload protection for standard single-phase 240V AC electrical systems. Built for global construction and panel upgrade projects, the ALF6K series balances standard breaking capacity, compact DIN-rail mounting, and long-term durability, all backed by a3-year warranty. Fully certified to IEC 60898-1, it covers rated currents from 0.5A to 63A with versatile B, C, and D trip curves to match lighting, general power, and inductive heavy-load applications.
Why Choose the 1P ALF10K?
1. Standard Breaking Capacity (6kA)
Cost-effectively protect your electrical installations. Most conventional residential and light commercial Distribution Panels adopt standard 6kA MCBs that perfectly match regular grid fault level conditions. The ALF6K provides reliable 6kA short-circuit protection, safely interrupting conventional fault currents to protect wiring, electrical equipment, and entire panel systems, complying with standard international electrical codes.
2. Wide Current Range (0.5A – 63A)
One unified Miniature Circuit Breaker series supports low-current control circuits starting at 0.5A up to heavy residential and commercial mains loads at 63A. This extensive current coverage drastically reduces SKU inventory pressure for distributors and streamlines standardized assembly for OEM panel builders.
3. Installation Efficiency
Engineered with a dual lug-and-pin terminal design to fit all standard Consumer Units and distribution boards. The ultra-compact single-pole body saves valuable cabinet space and speeds up DIN rail mounting and wiring processes. Pair it with our dedicated busbar comb accessories to further optimize panel assembly speed and project turnaround time.
4. Global Compliance & OEM Support
Fully compliant with the IEC 60898-1 international standard and equipped with CE and CB certifications for global market access. ELECO provides flexible OEM and private labeling solutions to support custom brand positioning, with every unit covered by a reliable 3-year product warranty for long-term project safety.
Technical Specifications

Note: At 240V AC, the 63A model delivers a theoretical maximum power of ~15.1kW. Continuous loads should be derated to 80% (approx. 12.1kW) per standard electrical codes. Additional derating may apply under high ambient temperatures, typical for GCC Middle East projects.
Ideal Applications & Market Segments
Built for universal single-phase electrical protection scenarios, this high-performance miniature circuit breaker is widely adopted across global residential, commercial, and new energy projects, perfectly adapting to diverse regional grid and environmental conditions.
OEM Panel Builders
The wide 0.5A–63A current range and dual universal terminals enable full production standardization. A single MCB model series covers nearly all conventional single-phase distribution board requirements, simplifying production scheduling and reducing inventory costs.
GCC & Middle East Contractors
Suitable for conventional ambient temperatures and standard grid fault level requirements with stable 6kA short circuit protection. The ALF6K is ideal for villa, apartment, and light commercial building projects across the Middle East, fully meeting local standard project compliance standards.
African Importers & Distributors
Authoritative CE and CB certifications ensure fast, smooth customs clearance across African markets. Factory-direct pricing maintains competitive profit margins while adhering to strict international electrical safety and quality standards.
EV Charging Stations
Suitable for Mode 2 and Mode 3 single-phase EV charging point protection. For complete residual current and overload safety, pair the ALF10K MCB with a [Type A RCCB 30mA]([rccb-product-url]) for full charging system protection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between 6kA and 10kA MCB?
A: A 6kA miniature circuit breaker can safely interrupt short-circuit current up to 6,000 amperes, while a premium 10kA MCB supports a maximum 10,000A breaking capacity. For regular residential and light commercial grids with standard fault levels, 6kA protection is sufficient and cost-effective for daily electrical safety compliance and equipment protection.
Q: Is the ALF10K 1P suitable for EV charging?
A: Yes. Select 16A or 25A C-curve ALF10K MCB models, matched with a professional [Type A RCCB]([rccb-product-url]), to provide stable overload and short-circuit protection for Mode 2 and Mode 3 single-phase EV charging installations.
Q: What certifications does the ALF10K have for Middle East markets?
A: The ALF10K complies with IEC 60898-1 standards and holds official CE and CB certificates. These credentials are widely recognized across all GCC countries, and the complete CB test report can be used to support local certification applications, including SASO and ESMA. Contact our sales team for project-specific certification documents.
Q: Can I get custom branding on the breaker?
A: Yes. ELECO offers full OEM and private label services, including custom logo laser marking, personalized packaging, and customized product specifications. Custom order minimum quantities apply; contact us for a detailed quotation and customization solutions.
