DC overcurrent circuit breaker 1-pole FAZ-C16/1-DC 279128

DC Circuit Breaker – Reliable Installation Protection

This single-pole DC circuit breaker from Eaton, with a C characteristic and a rated current of 16A, is a key element ensuring safety in DC installations. Designed for both commercial and domestic applications, it effectively protects circuits against overload and short circuit. Its compact size (1 module width) makes it easy to install in distribution boards.

Characteristics and Application

The FAZ-C16/1-DC circuit breaker is designed to protect DC installations with a rated voltage of 250V. The C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts with a delay to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with motors or other elements generating high starting current. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA (at 230V and 400V) guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure. This minimizes the risk of damage to equipment and fire.

Advantages and Design Features

• Versatility: Suitable for operation in a wide range of ambient temperatures (-25°C to +75°C), allowing its use in various environmental conditions.
• Safety: Has energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category III, providing high resistance to interference and overvoltages.
• Installation: Possibility of busbar connection from above and below facilitates installation depending on the available space.
• Accessories: The possibility of adding a wide range of accessories later allows the circuit breaker to be adapted to specific installation needs.
• Status Indicator: Built-in contact position indicator (red/green) makes it easy to quickly identify the status of the circuit breaker – whether it is on or off.
• Durable Construction: Made of high-quality materials, ensuring long-lasting and reliable operation.
• Wire Cross-Sections: Accepts both solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 mm² to 25 mm².
• Degree of Protection: IP20 provides protection against finger contact and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
• Compliance with Standards: Meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60947-2 standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability of operation.
