Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 3-pole FAZ-C10/3 278869

Reliable protection for electrical installations – Eaton FAZ-C10/3 circuit breaker

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's FAZ series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overload and short circuit, it guarantees reliable operation in both domestic and industrial conditions. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating inrush currents, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, while effectively protecting against prolonged overload.

The FAZ-C10/3 circuit breaker stands out with a high short-circuit capacity of up to 15 kA at 400 V, making it a suitable choice even for more demanding applications. The compact design (only 3 modules wide) facilitates mounting in distribution boards, and the universal connection possibilities for wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provide flexibility during installation.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit capacity: 15 kA at 400 V ensures effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Characteristic C: ideal for circuits with devices generating inrush currents, minimizing the risk of unnecessary tripping.
• Compact dimensions: 3 modules wide makes it easy to install in tight spaces.
• Universal wire connection: possibility of connecting solid and stranded wires with a cross-section of 1-25 mm².
• Safety and compliance with standards: meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60947-2 and EN 60898 standards, guaranteeing safety of use.
• Durable construction: high quality workmanship ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation of the device.
• Wide operating temperature range: from -25°C to 75°C allows use in various environmental conditions.

Application and installation

The FAZ-C10/3 circuit breaker is used in electrical installations of residential, commercial and industrial buildings. It is perfect for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and electrical appliances with moderate power consumption. Installation is carried out on a TH35 rail (standard mounting rail in distribution boards). The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the effects of water – the circuit breaker should be mounted in dry and well-ventilated places.

Information about technical parameters, such as rated current (10 A), rated short-circuit capacity (15 kA at 400 V), tripping characteristic (C), number of poles (3), width (3 modules) and rated voltage (400 V) are important when selecting the appropriate circuit breaker for a specific application. The wire cross-section should be selected in accordance with the requirements of the installation – from 1 to 25 mm².

Remember that proper selection of a circuit breaker is crucial for the safety of the electrical installation. If in doubt, consult a qualified electrician!
