3-pole circuit breaker PLSM-B16/3-MW 242448

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

The PLSM-B16/3-MW overcurrent circuit breaker from Eaton is a three-pole device designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. It ensures safe use of installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings. Its compact size (3 module width) allows for easy mounting in distribution boards.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with B characteristic is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other loads with a low inrush current. The B characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts quickly to overvoltage, but tolerates short-term current surges during device start-up – which is particularly important for loads with heating elements or motors. The rated current of 16A makes it a popular choice for protecting standard circuits in homes and apartments. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA at 400V and 230V guarantees effective protection in the event of serious disturbances in the network.

Key features and benefits

• Versatile application: Suitable for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other loads with low inrush current.
• High reliability: Compliance with EN 60898 standards ensures reliable operation in emergency situations.
• Compact size: 3 module width makes it easy to install in tight distribution boards.
• Wide operating temperature range: The ability to operate at temperatures from -25°C to 75°C allows it to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Safety: Energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category III provide a high level of protection against the effects of overvoltage and lightning strikes.
• Durability: The circuit breaker is designed for long-term operation, offering 20,000 mechanical cycles and 4,000 electrical cycles.
• Universal mounting: Mounting on DIN rail TH35 simplifies installation and device replacement.
• Optical indication: It has an optical trip indicator that makes it easy to identify the status of the circuit breaker.

The PLSM-B16/3-MW circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for every installer and end user looking for effective protection of electrical installations. Its versatility and ease of installation make it an ideal choice for a variety of applications.
