Combined circuit breaker 6kA type A HNB-B16/1N/003-A 195133

Combined switch – protection and convenience in one device

This combined switch from Eaton combines the functions of an overcurrent and residual current circuit breaker, providing comprehensive protection for the electrical installation. Model HNB-B16/1N/003-A with a rated current of 16A and characteristic B is an ideal solution for both professionals and end-users who value safety and reliability. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees an effective response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage.

Functionality and construction for demanding applications

This switch is characterized by a two-pole construction (number of protected poles: 1, total number of poles: 2) and occupies 2 modules on the DIN rail, allowing for space saving in the distribution board. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against touching and the ingress of solid objects. The use of characteristic B means that the switch reacts quickly to short circuits, but is more tolerant to short-term overloads, which is particularly important when connecting devices with electric motors or other pulse loads. Additionally, the presence of a simultaneously disconnecting N pole increases safety.

Safety and ease of use

The Eaton xPole Home HNB-B16/1N/003-A switch has been designed with ease of installation and use in mind. It has dual terminals (lift/busbar) allowing for flexible connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm². The contact position indicator (red/green) allows for quick visual control of the device status. Importantly, the manufacturer recommends testing the switch every 6 months using the "T" test button, which ensures its correct operation when needed. The device meets the requirements of overvoltage category III and energy limitation class 3, confirming its high quality and reliability. Sensitivity A ensures effective response to pulsating leakage currents with a DC component, providing protection against electric shock.
