Clopal Electric is one of Pakistan’s most trusted names in electrical protection. Their circuit breakers are designed and tested specifically for Pakistan’s electrical conditions — including voltage fluctuations, high ambient temperatures, and the demands of both single-phase residential and three-phase commercial installations.
What Are Clopal Circuit Breakers — and Why Do You Need Them?
A circuit breaker is an automatic electrical switch that monitors current flowing through a circuit and instantly disconnects power when a fault — an overload, short circuit, or earth leakage — is detected. Unlike a fuse that burns out and requires replacement, a circuit breaker trips and can be reset, making it the industry-standard safety device in every modern distribution board in Pakistan.
Pakistan’s electrical environment presents specific challenges that make high-quality circuit breakers essential:
- Frequent voltage fluctuations — Unstable supply causes sudden current spikes that damage wiring and appliances without proper breaker protection.
- High ambient temperatures — Summer heat stresses electrical components; Clopal breakers are rated for Pakistan’s climate.
- Aging infrastructure — Many Pakistani homes and buildings still have older wiring more susceptible to faults and overloads.
- Electric shock risk — Wet areas including bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor spaces are common sites of electrical accidents. A standard MCB alone cannot protect against shock — only an ELCB or RCBO can.
Fitting the right Clopal circuit breakers at the distribution board is the single most effective step for protecting both your electrical installation and the people inside a building.
Complete Range of Clopal Circuit Breakers at Arfa Trading
The Clopal Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) is the standard protective device found in every modern distribution board in Pakistan. It provides two essential types of protection:
- Thermal protection — Senses sustained overloads and trips the circuit before wiring overheats.
- Magnetic protection — Reacts instantaneously to short-circuit currents, disconnecting power in milliseconds.
Clopal MCB Key Specifications:
- Current ratings: 0.5A, 1A, 2A, 4A, 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 32A, 63A
- Frequency: 50/60Hz
- Mounting: DIN Rail EN60715 (35mm) — Fast Clip Device
- Terminal size: 25mm² / 18–3 AWG
- Tightening torque: 2.5 Nm / 22 In-lbs
- Pole configurations: Single Pole, Double Pole, Three Pole, Four Pole
- Protection: Overload and Short-Circuit
Recommended MCB ratings for Pakistani homes:
- Lighting circuits: 6A
- Power socket circuits: 16A–20A
- Air conditioner circuits: 20A–32A
- Geyser circuits: 20A
- Main incoming breaker: 40A–63A
Best for: Residential distribution boards, commercial offices, schools, retail units, control panels.
The Clopal Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker (ELCB) — also referred to as an RCCB — is the device that protects human lives rather than just electrical wiring. Unlike a standard MCB, an ELCB continuously monitors the difference between live and neutral currents. The moment even a small leakage current escapes to earth — such as through a person receiving an electric shock — the ELCB detects the imbalance and trips in under 40 milliseconds. That is faster than the human heart can be affected by the shock.
Clopal ELCB Key Specifications:
- Current ratings: 20A, 32A, 40A, 63A
- Pole configurations: Double Pole (2P), Four Pole (4P)
- Sensitivity: Detects leakage currents as low as 30mA
- Function: Earth leakage / residual current detection (install alongside MCBs for complete protection)
Important: An ELCB does not protect against overloads or short circuits. For full protection, pair it with MCBs — or use a single RCBO that combines both functions.
Critical Safety Note: Many Pakistani homes still lack ELCB protection in bathrooms. Every year, preventable fatalities occur from bathroom electric shocks that an ELCB would have interrupted in milliseconds. If your home does not have ELCBs on bathroom and kitchen circuits, contact a qualified electrician today.
Best for: Bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor circuits, swimming pools, and any circuit where occupants may come into contact with electrical equipment.
Where standard MCBs reach their limit at 63A, the Clopal Moulded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) takes over. Built into a robust, heat-resistant, injection-moulded insulating casing, the MCCB handles significantly higher fault currents and continuous load ratings — the essential protection device for industrial, commercial, and high-load applications.
Like an MCB, a Clopal MCCB provides dual-mode protection — thermal protection against sustained overloads and magnetic protection against short-circuit fault currents — but at current levels far beyond the capability of a standard miniature breaker.
Clopal MCCB Key Specifications:
- Current ratings: 30A, 60A, 100A, 150A
- Pole configurations: Double Pole (2P), Three Pole (3P), Four Pole (4P)
- Casing: Heat-resistant injection-moulded insulating body
- Protection: Thermal overload + magnetic short-circuit (dual-mode)
- Key distinction: A moulded case switch is a manual isolation device only — it has no automatic trip mechanism. A Clopal MCCB provides fully automatic protection, making it the correct choice wherever both switching and protection are required.
Best for: Factories, large offices, shopping centres, commercial buildings, three-phase distribution panels, main incomers for heavy sub-distribution circuits, industrial machinery.
Compact single-pole miniature circuit breakers designed for low-power circuit protection in residential and light commercial applications. Easy to install and reset — among the most widely used electrical safety components in Pakistani homes and commercial spaces.
Best for: Lighting circuits, control panels, home safety boards, individual appliance circuit protection.
A distribution box is the housing unit that organizes all circuit breakers for a building’s electrical installation. Clopal distribution boxes are available in a wide range of configurations:
- Indoor surface-mounted: 1-way to 22-way — the most common type for Pakistani residential and commercial installations. Premium ABS plastic, elegant white, corrosion-resistant construction.
- Waterproof outdoor (IP65 rated): 5-way and 12-way — for outdoor installations and monsoon conditions.
- Heavy-duty waterproof (IP66 rated): 4-way and 8-way — for industrial outdoor environments.
- Solar PV-compatible: Multiple configurations for solar inverter installations.
Clopal Distribution Box Key Features:
- Material: Premium ABS Plastic, corrosion-resistant board
- Quality: No deformation, no oxidation under standard conditions
- Sizes: From compact 1-way (12×5×3.7 cm) to large 22-way panels

Frequently Asked Questions — Clopal Circuit Breakers
Q1: What is the difference between an MCB and an ELCB?
An MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) protects electrical wiring and appliances from overloads and short circuits — it trips when too much current flows through a circuit. An ELCB (Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker) protects people from electric shock by detecting leakage currents as small as 30mA and disconnecting power in under 40 milliseconds — faster than the heart can be affected. Both are needed for complete protection.
Q2: What is the difference between an MCCB and an MCB?
An MCB handles up to 63A for individual residential and light commercial circuits. An MCCB begins where MCBs leave off — handling 30A to 150A with far greater fault-interrupting capacity, housed in a reinforced moulded casing. Use MCBs for household circuits and MCCBs for heavy-load industrial, commercial, and three-phase main incomers.
Q3: Are Clopal circuit breakers at Arfa Trading original and warranted?
Yes. Arfa Trading is an authorized distributor and supplier of Clopal Electric products. All circuit breakers are sourced directly and carry the manufacturer’s standard warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
Q4: How do I choose the right current rating for a Clopal MCB?
Select an MCB whose current rating matches the expected continuous load without exceeding the wiring capacity. Key Pakistan guidelines: 6A for lighting; 16A–20A for sockets; 20A–32A for ACs; 20A for geysers; 40A–63A for main incomers. Contact Arfa Trading for guidance on specific installations.
Q5: What size distribution box do I need for my home?
Pakistani homes typically need 6-way to 12-way distribution boxes. Count your circuits (lighting, fans, AC, geyser, sockets, outdoor) and select a Clopal box with that many ways plus 2–4 spare ways for future additions. For outdoor or solar PV installations, choose IP65 or IP66 waterproof Clopal distribution boxes.
