Cbi DP-3816 - 10A, Circuit Breaker

The Cbi DP-3816 10A circuit breaker delivers reliable overcurrent protection for demanding electrical panels. Built for panelboards, switchboards, control panels, and OEM equipment, this compact device helps keep your distribution network safe, efficient, and compliant.

Where it fits

Ideal for industrial, commercial, and OEM environments where dependable protection matters. Use in distribution panels and motor control centers to guard feeders and control circuits against overloads and short circuits.

Key specifications

• Current rating: 10A
• Breaker type: Circuit Breaker

Why this 10A protection matters

A precise 10-amp limit ensures sensitive control circuits, lighting feeders, instrumentation runs, and small motor control lines stay safeguarded without unnecessary trips. In busy facilities, that translates to less downtime and more predictable operation.

Benefits and use cases

Designed to stand up to everyday industrial use, the DP-3816 is a practical choice for:

• Panelboard and switchboard protection in manufacturing lines
• Control panels in automation and packaging equipment
• OEM-equipped systems where compact, reliable overcurrent protection is required

Compared to higher current devices, the 10A rating provides targeted protection for low-load circuits, helping extend component life and reduce nuisance trips while maintaining safety across a distribution network.

Installation and best practices

To maximize performance, confirm the DP-3816 fits your panel and is wired per local electrical codes. Maintain clean wiring, verify the device's orientation and panel labeling, and replace only with the same current rating and type to ensure consistent protection.
