Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 1-pole FAZ-C32/1 278564

Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from the FAZ series is a key component for protecting electrical installations in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings. Designed to protect against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it ensures safe and stable operation of electrical circuits. A breaking capacity of up to 15 kA (according to IEC/EN 60947-2) guarantees an effective response in emergency situations, minimizing the risk of damage and fires.

The circuit breaker features a compact design, occupying only one module width, which facilitates installation even in crowded distribution boards. Adapted to operate in a temperature range from -25°C to 75°C, it maintains reliable operation in various environmental conditions. The ability to connect wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility when selecting appropriate cables.

Characteristics and Application

The FAZ-C32/1 circuit breaker has a C characteristic, meaning it is ideal for circuits with devices generating inrush currents during start-up – e.g., motors, transformers, or heating devices. The C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore it handles starting devices with a motor well. A rated current of 32A makes it an optimal solution for protecting circuits with medium loads. A rated voltage of 230V makes it compatible with most standard electrical installations.

• Overload Protection: Protects the circuit against overload and short circuit — as with most circuit breakers in this class.
• Wide Application: Ideal for protecting lighting, socket outlets, and other electrical devices in residential and commercial buildings.
• Easy Installation: Compact dimensions (70.5 mm depth) facilitate installation in electrical distribution boards.
• Durable Construction: Manufactured from high-quality materials ensuring long-term and reliable operation.
• Versatility: Suitable for use in both new installations and when modernizing existing electrical systems.
• Standards Compliance: Meets the requirements of EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards, guaranteeing safety of use.

Thanks to its high short-circuit breaking capacity (15 kA at 400V) and energy limitation class 3, this circuit breaker provides effective protection of the electrical installation even in the event of serious failures. The IP20 protection rating protects against finger contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm – important for safety of use in various conditions.
