Allen Bradley 1489-M2C005 - 5A, 2-Pole, Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)

Experience reliable overcurrent protection with the Allen Bradley 1489-M2C005, a compact 5A, 2-Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for industrial reliability and long service life. This device is built to safeguard essential circuits in panelboards, switchboards, and control panels, delivering precise protection where it matters most.

The 2-pole configuration ensures both conductors are disconnected during a fault, providing safer shutdowns, easier fault isolation, and coordinated protection across the protected circuit. Its compact footprint makes it a practical choice for retrofit or space-constrained panels without compromising protection quality.

Why this model stands out

• Exact 5A protection tailored for control circuits, sensing lines, and low-current feeders—reducing nuisance trips while preserving core functionality.
• Two-pole isolation delivers simultaneous disconnect on both lines, enhancing safety and simplifying troubleshooting in complex panel assemblies.
• Industry-ready integration aligns with Allen-Bradley standards and fits seamlessly into existing panel boards, switchboards, or motor control centers.
• Durable, commercial-grade design built to withstand the rigors of industrial environments, delivering dependable performance in distribution panels and MCCs.
