BG CUMB6 — 6A B Curve Single-Pole Bidirectional MCB (6kA, 1 Module)
The BG CUMB6 is a 6A B-curve, single-pole bidirectional MCB designed for precise overload and short-circuit protection on lighting, control and low-load domestic circuits. Its bidirectional design allows safe operation even when current flows in either direction, making it suitable for installations that incorporate solar PV, battery storage or other back-feed capable technologies.
With a slim 17.85mm single-module width, it fits neatly into BG consumer units and 35mm DIN-rail enclosures, offering a compact, space-efficient protective device for modern installations.
The B-curve tripping characteristic provides the fast response required for sensitive low-inrush circuits such as:
Domestic lighting
Control and switching circuits
Smart home and automation feeds
Low-load radials
A 6kA breaking capacity ensures dependable short-circuit protection suitable for domestic and small commercial environments.
Built for ease of installation and durability, the CUMB6 offers:
Positive contact status indication
PZ2 screw terminals for secure termination
Terminal capacity up to 16mm² (10–32A models; 6A model supports smaller conductors)
–25°C to +40°C operating temperature range
4,000 electrical and 10,000 mechanical endurance cycles
A robust choice for contractors seeking a high-quality protective device for low-load circuits.
