Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 1-pole FAZ-C2/1 278549

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from the FAZ series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed by Eaton, a renowned manufacturer of power engineering solutions, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits. The rated switching capacity of 15 kA (according to IEC 60947-2) guarantees a quick and reliable response in emergency situations, minimizing the risk of damage and fires.

Characteristics and application

The FAZ-C2/1 circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it is ideal for circuits with devices generating surge currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or certain types of lighting. This allows you to avoid unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker during normal operation of these devices, while ensuring full protection in the event of a short circuit. The rated current of 2A makes it a suitable choice for circuits with relatively low power consumption.

Construction and mounting

The circuit breaker is designed for easy mounting on a standard DIN rail (width 1 module). The compact dimensions (installation depth 70.5 mm) allow installation even in limited space of the distribution board. It accepts both solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm², which provides flexibility during connection. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures durability and reliable operation for a long time. The IP20 degree of protection protects against finger contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
