Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 1-pole FAZ-C4/1 278553

FAZ series circuit breakers – reliable installation protection

The Eaton FAZ-C4/1 circuit breaker is a single-pole device designed to protect electrical circuits against the effects of overloads and short circuits. Its rated current of 4A makes it an ideal choice for protecting lighting, socket outlets or small electrical appliances. Its compact design (1 module width) allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker is characterized by a C tripping characteristic, which means that it reacts with a certain delay to short-term current surges. This makes it perfect for circuits with loads generating surge currents during start-up, such as electric motors or transformers. The breaking capacity of up to 15 kA (at 230/400V) guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. This is crucial for ensuring the safety of people and property.

• Provides protection against overload, preventing damage to wires and devices caused by excessive current draw.
• Quickly disconnects the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of fire and equipment damage.
• Suitable for use in both domestic, commercial and industrial installations due to its versatility.
• Allows for easy and quick mounting in standard distribution boards thanks to its design adapted to TS35 rail.
• Allows for visual control of the circuit breaker status (on/off) using a contact position indicator.

Construction and product features

The FAZ-C4/1 circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, which ensures its durability and reliability. It has a protection class of IP20, which means protection against finger contact, but not against the effects of water or dust. The cross-section of the connected solid or stranded wire up to 25 mm² provides flexibility when selecting the power supply cables. The device operates at a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50-60Hz, making it compatible with most electrical installations in Poland and Europe. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III confirm its resistance to disturbances in the electrical network. Additionally, the rated impulse withstand voltage is as high as 4 kV, which increases its safety in the event of overvoltages.
