Combined circuit breaker 6kA PFL6-16/1N/B/3 type AC 286431

Combined circuit breaker – protection and convenience in one device

This 6kA PFL6-16/1N/B/3 type AC combined circuit breaker is a reliable solution for protecting electrical installations. It combines the functions of an overcurrent circuit breaker and a residual current device (RCD), providing comprehensive protection against overload, short circuit and electric shock. This is particularly important in circuits where a high level of safety is required, e.g. in bathrooms, kitchens or damp rooms.

This circuit breaker is characterized by a rated current of 16A and a rated voltage of 230V, making it ideal for standard domestic and commercial installations. Characteristic B provides fast tripping in the event of short circuits, and also allows for the safe starting of devices with motors that generate short-term inrush currents. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure.

Construction and application

The PFL6-16/1N/B/3 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a DIN rail, which facilitates its installation and replacement. Its compact size – 2 module width – allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board. In addition, the presence of a simultaneously disconnecting N pole increases safety. The cross-section of the connected conductor up to 25mm² allows connection of conductors of different thicknesses, adapting to the needs of a specific installation.

This model is designed to protect AC voltage circuits and has a sensitivity to alternating current (AC). Energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3 confirm its resistance to interference and ability to protect against the effects of overvoltage. Protection degree IP20 provides protection against accidental contact.
