LS Electric BKN Miniature Circuit Breaker

The LS Electric BKN Miniature Circuit Breaker is a compact, IEC 60898-compliant overcurrent protective device designed for the protection of final distribution circuits in residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical installations across Saudi Arabia. Available in 1-pole, 2-pole, 3-pole, and 4-pole configurations from 6 A to 63 A, with trip characteristic curves B, C, and D (to IEC 60947-2 industrial versions), the BKN covers the full range of final circuit applications from lighting and socket outlet circuits in residential buildings to motor branch circuits and distribution feeder protection in industrial distribution boards. The BKN's compact 17.8 mm per pole pitch matches the standard DIN EN 60715 rail spacing used in Saudi Arabia's panel building industry, making it dimensionally compatible with existing panel layouts when replacing other branded MCBs.

The BKN's breaking capacity is 6 kA at 230/400 V AC (standard BKN) — sufficient for most residential and commercial distribution board applications in Saudi Arabia where the prospective short-circuit current at the point of installation is within this range. The BKN-H variant with 10 kA breaking capacity is available for higher fault-level locations such as main distribution boards and industrial panel incomer protection. The BKN's double-break contact geometry provides reliable interruption of fault current and a long contact life under repeated over-current clearing operations. An LED trip indicator on the BKN-H variant provides visual confirmation of trip versus manual-off status, simplifying fault finding during maintenance.

LS Electric BKN circuit breakers are among the most cost-effective MCB options available in the Saudi Arabia electrical market, typically priced 20–35% below equivalent Siemens 5SL and ABB S200 MCBs at the same ampere rating and breaking capacity. This price advantage, combined with full IEC 60898 and IEC 60947-2 compliance, makes them the preferred choice for Saudi electrical contractors, panel builders, and project developers seeking to reduce material costs on large projects where MCB quantities run into the thousands of units — such as residential compounds, NEOM worker accommodation, MODON factory buildings, and commercial tower developments.

Razz Middle East stocks the BKN range in all standard pole configurations, current ratings, and trip curves for immediate supply in Saudi Arabia. We offer volume pricing for electrical contractors and panel builders, and our team provides product selection guidance for circuit protection sizing to Saudi Electrical Code (SEC) distribution board standards.
