Maxguard in Malaysia: the local breaker brand, its MCBs, RCCBs, RCBOs, surge protectors and DB boxes, and where to buy

Maxguard is a Malaysian switchgear brand, and one of the names wiremen fit every day in home distribution boards. It belongs to Maxguard Switchgear Sdn Bhd of Kota Kemuning, Shah Alam. The company says it was established in 1998 to make distribution boards with a range of circuit breakers, opened a factory in Sri Muda, Shah Alam, in 2001, and since 2022 has given a 60-month warranty on its MCBs, RCCBs, RCBOs, isolators, switch-fuses and MCCBs.

We worked from Maxguard’s product pages and its current catalogue, the March 2022 edition. The PDF’s file name says 2023 and the website’s button says “Catalogue 2026”, but it’s the same document. For surge protectors we also used the datasheets on Maxguard’s website marked “Edition: 2026 JANUARY”. Our MB63-1, RCCB, RCBO and surge protector pages list every order code in the catalogue’s tables and those datasheets.

What its researched ranges are for

MCBs. Maxguard has two miniature circuit-breaker families with almost identical order codes. The MB63-1 is the 6kA range in B and C curves, and the F2 is the one the catalogue heads at 10kA, adding D-curve codes. Maxguard’s F2 web page contradicts its catalogue on both points, so check the label of the unit you buy. The Maxguard MCB comparison explains the code layout (M116C6 against M116C10) and the differences.

RCCBs. The ML63-1 and ML100-1 are earth-leakage devices in 2 and 4 poles, 25–100A, at 10, 30, 100 and 300mA, in Type AC and Type A. The catalogue cites IEC 61008-2-1, the voltage-independent RCCB standard. There’s only one 10mA model, E25201N (2P 25A, Type AC), and Type A appears only at 30mA and 100mA in 40A and 63A ratings.

RCBOs. The ML32-1 combines overcurrent and earth-leakage protection in an 18mm-wide body (per the catalogue drawing): 6–32A in B and C curves, 10, 30 and 100mA, Type AC and Type A. So Maxguard does list 10mA Type A RCBOs, at every rating from 6A to 32A, including 25A and 32A for water heaters, even though most marketplace listings are the cheaper Type AC versions. Two caveats from the catalogue: it cites IEC 61009-2-2, the voltage-dependent RCBO standard, and it doesn’t state the poles. Sellers variously call it “2P”, “1P+N” or “1P”, so ask how the neutral is switched if your installer needs a 2-pole RCD.

Surge protectors. Maxguard’s website carries two generations of SPD, 27 codes in all as of 8 October 2026. The 2022 catalogue line (MY2-20MAX, MY2-40MAX, EL1C40 and MY3-65MAX) is what most sellers list, above all the MY2-40MAX. The newer M series (M20 and M40 Type 2, M12.5M Type 1+2, and heavier models up to the M25M and M25VG for main switchboards) has datasheets dated January 2026. Maxguard doesn’t say whether the M series replaces the older line. For a house board the Type 2 single-phase (1P+N) or three-phase (3P+N) models are the relevant ones.

DB boxes. Maxguard makes the enclosure as well as the breakers. Its catalogue has MG plastic consumer units, empty Economy (DB-E) and DB-N metalclad boards, boards for an MCCB incomer, and ready-to-use metal boards with wiring, busbar, a switchfuse, MCB or MCCB incomer and an RCCB fitted. That fitted RCCB is 100mA on single-phase boards and 300mA on three-phase ones, so the 30mA protection socket circuits need and the 10mA a water heater needs still have to be added. The Maxguard DB box page shows 62 of the 99 enclosure codes in the catalogue, with sizes, neutral links and prices.

The MCB, RCCB, RCBO, SPD and DB box category pages compare these ranges with Schneider’s, Hager’s and other brands’.

What Malaysian electricians say

In Malaysian wiring groups, Maxguard sits in the budget mainstream tier with EPS and Himel: brands many wiremen install routinely, cheaper than Schneider, Hager or ABB. The common verdict on Maxguard versus EPS is “lebih kurang sama” (more or less the same). One wireman prefers Maxguard because they’ve seen cloned EPS units.

Opinion on Maxguard itself is split. Many use it without complaint (“boleh je guna”), and one commenter put it as the acceptable minimum, with Hager or Schneider better still. Another called it a budget brand with Type AC RCBOs that they wouldn’t recommend for homes any more. One homeowner reported a Maxguard RCCB that stopped tripping on its test button after about a year; replies ranged from upgrading the brand to having the device tested first. These are individual opinions from group threads, not product tests. Our guide to what electricians say about breaker brands has the wider picture. The repeated advice there applies to any brand: check the rating, sensitivity, poles and type, and the ST-SIRIM label.

Maxguard says its products are type-tested to IEC standards by ETL Semko, approved by the Energy Commission and audited by SIRIM QAS each year. JKR’s Electrical Material Approved List (eMAL) for government projects includes Maxguard RCCBs, recorded as made in China and in Malaysia, and Maxguard MCBs, recorded as made in China. Being listed means JKR approved those products for government work; it doesn’t rate durability.

How to buy Maxguard

Maxguard reaches buyers through electrical dealers and online shops. These are the routes we checked; a listing shows what a seller advertises, not confirmed stock.

Dealers. Maxguard’s dealer list can be filtered by 11 states, including Sabah but not Sarawak. The first page alone includes Actgen Industry in Taman Johor Jaya (07-357 3133), Bestlite Electrical in Cheras (03-9286 3900) and E-Lite Electrical in Puchong (03-5882 8435). Maxguard’s website also takes quotation requests.
Shop sites with prices. Quintex in Shah Alam lists MB63-1 MCBs from RM4.20 for a 1-pole unit. ene2u lists the 10mA E25201N RCCB at RM91.40 and ML100-1 RCCBs from RM255.90. KVC lists E25201N with prices for signed-in accounts.
Shopee and Lazada. Many stores list Maxguard. In October 2026, 20A 10mA Type AC RCBOs were about RM66–103 at most stores, and one store listed a Type A version at RM169. Listings often describe poles and types loosely, so order by the full code: R2501CA is a 25A 10mA C-curve Type A RCBO by our reading of the catalogue, and R2501C the Type AC version. The ML32-1 page explains the code pattern.

Shop and marketplace prices for the surge protectors and boards, from October 2026: the MY2-40MAX 1P+N was mostly RM140–175 on Shopee and Lazada, and two online stores listed the Economy DB1018E (one row, 18 ways) at RM157. We found almost no prices for the M-series SPDs, and no listings on the price-comparison site BigGo for the MG plastic units or the ready-to-use boards with an MCB or MCCB incomer; that doesn’t mean they aren’t sold.

At the water-heater rating, 2-pole 25A 10mA Type AC, the RCCB category page compares October 2026 prices across brands: Maxguard’s E25201N at RM91.40 sat above Himel’s HDB6VR225LC (RM50–62.55) and below Schneider’s Easy9 EZ9R14225 (RM100–121.53), ABB’s F202 AC-25/0.01 (RM149.32–220) and Hager’s CC225B (RM215–253.65). These are listed prices for devices with different datasheets, not a like-for-like comparison.

The family pages above have the full price tables and sellers.

What we haven’t researched yet

We haven’t written up Maxguard’s isolators, switch-fuses or MCCBs, and the F2 MCB has no family page of its own yet, beyond the MCB comparison. Maxguard’s catalogue calls it a “Registered switchboard manufacturer (≤600V)” with the Energy Commission; we haven’t checked that against ST’s list. We also haven’t walked every page of the dealer list. Prices change: the Maxguard, Schneider and Hager breaker figures above are dated 6 October 2026; the ABB and Himel figures and the surge protector and DB box figures are dated 8 October 2026.
