Overcurrent circuit breaker series 15kA 3-pole FAZ-B16/3 278847

Reliable protection of electrical installations – Eaton FAZ-B16/3 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 against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it guarantees reliable operation and long-term use. A rated current of 16A and a voltage of 400V make it an ideal solution for both domestic and industrial applications.

The FAZ-B16/3 circuit breaker is characterized by a high breaking capacity of up to 15kA (according to IEC 60947-2), which means it effectively interrupts the circuit in the event of a serious short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire. Characteristic B provides a quick response to sudden current increases, while allowing for short-term overloads, e.g. when starting motors.

Construction and mounting

The Eaton FAZ-B16/3 circuit breaker has been designed with easy installation and intuitive operation in mind. Compact dimensions (width of 3 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. The ability to connect wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate cables. The IP20 degree of protection protects against accidental contact, and the solid construction guarantees durability even in harsh working conditions (ambient temperature from -25°C to 75°C).

An additional advantage is the possibility of equipping the circuit breaker with additional accessories, allowing it to be adapted to the specific needs of the installation. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is as high as 4kV, which increases resistance to overvoltages. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III confirm its high quality and compliance with applicable standards. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards, guaranteeing its safety and reliability.
