Wylex NHXL miniature circuit breakers for the NM range of consumer units. These are the single module MCBs electricians fit day in, day out.
Type B covers general domestic and lighting circuits, and Type C handles inductive loads and small commercial. We stock Type B from 6A to 40A plus a 16A Type C, all clipping straight into Wylex NM and high integrity boards.
Buy the ratings a job actually eats through (6A, 16A, 32A) by the box. We hold live stock on the fast moving amps. Call the branch on 01656 765 300 for trade pricing on quantity.
NHXL MCBs are made for the Wylex NM range of consumer units and high integrity boards. Keep breakers and board the same brand, because consumer units are tested as an assembly with the maker's own devices.
Type B for most domestic circuits: lighting, sockets, showers and cookers. Type C trips at a higher surge current, for motors, transformers and large banks of LED lighting.
Type B: 6, 10, 16, 20, 32 and 40A (NHXLB06 to NHXLB40). Type C: 16A (NHXLC16).
An MCB protects against overload and short circuit only. An RCBO adds 30mA earth fault protection for that one circuit. For RCBO boards, see the Wylex NHXS1 RCBOs.
73mm deep and 1 module wide, to suit standard Wylex NM boards.
