1-pole circuit breaker PLSM-C16-MW 242206

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

This single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker from Eaton's PLSM series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits with a rated current of 16A, it effectively reacts to overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage and fires. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating short-term current surges, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to these surges, avoiding unnecessary tripping.

This circuit breaker finds application in both home and industrial installations, where reliable protection against the effects of overloads is required. Mounting on a TH35 rail (standard rail) is simple and intuitive, making it easier for installers. Compact dimensions (1 module wide) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board.

Key features and benefits

• High breaking capacity: Rated breaking capacity of 10kA at 230V and 400V guarantees effective protection even in the event of serious failures.
• Versatile application: Suitable for protecting various circuits, including lighting, socket outlets and electrical appliances.
• Characteristic C: Provides optimal protection for devices generating surge currents, such as motors or transformers.
• Compact size: 1 module width allows for space-saving use in the distribution board.
• Solid construction: Made of high-quality materials ensures long-lasting and reliable operation.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN 60898, confirming its safety and effectiveness.
• Wide operating temperature range: Allows operation in difficult environmental conditions (-25°C to +75°C).
• Expandability: Compatible with additional Eaton accessories, allowing it to be adapted to individual installation needs.

Additional information

The PLSM-C16-MW circuit breaker has been designed with ease of installation and use in mind. The cross-section of the connectable single-wire or multi-wire conductor up to 25 mm² provides flexibility in connecting different types of conductors. Rated voltage of 230V and frequency range of 50-60Hz make it compatible with most electrical installations in Europe. IP20 protection class provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against water – therefore, installation in damp rooms without appropriate housing should be avoided. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III indicate its resistance to network disturbances.
