BG CUMB20 — 20A B Curve Single-Pole Bidirectional MCB (6kA, 1 Module)
The BG CUMB20 is a 20A B-curve, single-pole bidirectional MCB designed for dependable overload and short-circuit protection on domestic and light-commercial circuits. With certified bidirectional operation, it provides safe tripping even where current may flow from either direction—ideal for systems incorporating solar PV, battery storage or other back-feed capable technologies.
Its slim 17.85mm module width ensures a clean, space-efficient fit within all BG consumer units and standard 35mm DIN-rail enclosures.
Reliable Protection for General-Purpose Circuits
The B-curve tripping profile ensures fast response on low-inrush circuits commonly found in domestic installations. With a 6kA breaking capacity, the CUMB20 provides robust short-circuit protection for:
General radial circuits
Socket circuits
Small appliance loads
Utility and lighting sub-circuits
Built to support quick installation and long-term durability, the CUMB20 includes:
