Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 1-pole FAZ-C16/1 278561

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable installation protection

This single-pole circuit breaker from the FAZ series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. A rated current of 16A combined with a short-circuit breaking capacity of up to 15kA (according to IEC/EN 60947-2) guarantees effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Characteristic C provides optimal operation in circuits with devices generating surge currents, such as motors or transformers.

Design and technical parameters

The circuit breaker has been designed for easy installation and reliable operation. Compact dimensions – 1 module width – allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Made of high-quality materials, it meets safety standards and is resistant to environmental conditions (operating temperature from -25°C to 75°C). The rated insulation voltage Ui is 440V, and the impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV, confirming its high quality and reliability. The cross-section of the connected wire can range from 1 to 25 mm², providing flexibility when selecting wires. Protection degree IP20 provides protection against accidental contact.

Application and benefits

The FAZ-C16/1 circuit breaker is used in both domestic and industrial installations. It is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and electrical devices with moderate power consumption. Thanks to its high short-circuit breaking capacity, it minimizes the risk of damage to the installation and ensures continuity of supply. Additionally, the possibility of mounting additional accessories increases the functionality of the circuit breaker and allows it to be adapted to individual needs. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3 provide additional safety in the event of disturbances in the electrical network.
