Havells SP Circuit Breaker (Single Pole): Precision Protection for Single-Phase Circuits (Seba Electric)
What is an SP (Single Pole) Circuit Breaker?
An SP Circuit Breaker is a safety device that protects one live wire (Phase/L) in single-phase electrical systems. It monitors current flow and trips instantly during:
- Overloads: When current exceeds safe limits (e.g., too many appliances on one circuit).
- Short Circuits: When live/neutral wires touch, causing dangerous current surges.
Key Differentiator: SP breakers control only the Phase wire, leaving the Neutral (N) wire untouched. This makes them ideal for low-risk residential applications.
Why Choose Havells SP Circuit Breakers?
Havells redefines circuit protection with innovation and reliability:
-
Dual Tripping Mechanism:

Seba Electric Havells SP Breaker: Key Specifications
Product Description: Engineering Excellence in Every Breaker
Havells SP Circuit Breakers at Seba Electric are precision-engineered for fail-safe performance. The heart of the breaker is its dual tripping system:
- The thermal element uses a bimetallic strip that heats and bends during overloads, tripping the breaker after a calculated delay (e.g., 1 hour at 1.3x current).
- The magnetic element uses an electromagnet that generates a magnetic field during short circuits, tripping instantly (<0.1 seconds).
Key Design Innovations:
- Arc Chute Technology: Splits and cools electrical arcs during tripping, preventing fires.
- Silver Alloy Contacts: Ensure low resistance and high durability against welding.
- Modular Snap-Fit Mounting: Installs on 35mm DIN rails without tools.
Why Havells? With 60+ years of expertise, Havells subjects every SP breaker to:
- 10,000+ electrical endurance tests.
- Temperature cycling (-40°C to +85°C).
- Humidity resistance tests (95% RH).
At Seba Electric, we verify authenticity and performance before delivery.

Installation Guide (Seba Electric Best Practices)
-
Select Correct Rating:
- 6A-10A: Lighting circuits.
- 16A-20A: Socket outlets.
- 25A-32A: ACs/geysers (only if single-phase).
-
Mounting:
- Snap onto 35mm DIN rail in the distribution board.
- Ensure vertical orientation for proper tripping.
-
Wiring:
- Connect Live (L) to the top terminal.
- Connect Load to the bottom terminal.
- Neutral wire bypasses the SP breaker.
-
Testing:
- Turn ON → Press “TEST” button (if available) → Verify trip.
- Manually toggle ON/OFF to check smooth operation.
SP Breaker vs. DP Breaker: Critical Differences
Seba Electric Recommendation: Use SP breakers for lighting/sockets and DP breakers for ACs/heaters to ensure complete disconnection.
