Overcurrent switchgear series 15kA 3+N-pole FAZ-B16/3N 278949

Electrical installation protection with FAZ-B16/3N circuit breaker

This three-pole circuit breaker from the FAZ series, with a rated current of 16A, is a reliable element protecting electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Breaking capacity at 15kA (at 230V and 400V) guarantees effective protection even in demanding conditions. Equipped with a neutral pole (N), it provides comprehensive protection of circuits.

The FAZ-B16/3N circuit breaker is characterized by a tripping characteristic of type B, which means it is ideal for protecting circuits with devices with moderate inrush current. This prevents unnecessary power disconnection during short-term current surges, e.g. when starting motors or transformers. Application in installations with a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz makes it a universal solution for a wide range of applications.

• High breaking capacity: 15kA at 230V and 400V ensures effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Characteristic B: Optimal for protecting circuits with devices with moderate inrush current – minimizes the risk of false tripping.
• Neutral pole: Provides full circuit protection, including against insulation faults.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -25°C to +75°C enables installation in various environmental conditions.
• DIN rail mounting: Facilitates and speeds up installation in electrical switchboards.
• Wire cross-section: Possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1mm² to 25mm² (solid and stranded) provides flexibility in wire selection.
• Energy limitation class: Class 3 provides adequate protection in the event of an electric arc.

The FAZ-B16/3N circuit breaker meets the requirements of EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards, confirming its safety and reliability. The degree of protection IP20 protects against accidental contact, and the compact dimensions (width of 4 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the switchboard. Additionally, the possibility of busbar connection from above and below and power connection from above and below increases the convenience of installation and wire connection.
