DC overcurrent circuit breaker 10kA PL7-C16/2-DC 264902

DC Overcurrent Protector – Reliable Installation Protection

This two-pole DC overcurrent protector from Eaton's PL7 series, with a rated current of 16A and a short-circuit interrupting capacity of 10kA DC, is a key element ensuring safety in DC installations. Designed for reliable operation, it protects circuits against overload and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage and fire. Its compact dimensions (2 module width) make it easy to install in distribution boards.

Characteristics and application

The PL7-C16/2-DC circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it is ideal for protecting circuits with loads generating inrush currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or switch-mode power supplies. It will be useful in photovoltaic installations, electric vehicle charging systems and other applications using direct voltage up to 250V per pole (500V for a two-pole device). It provides effective protection against the effects of overvoltage and short circuits, and its high impact resistance (4kV) guarantees long-term and trouble-free operation.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit interrupting capacity: 10kA DC provides effective protection even in the event of serious failures.
• C characteristic: Optimal for protecting circuits with loads generating inrush currents.
• Compact dimensions: Occupies only 2 modules in the distribution board, saving valuable space.
• Wide range of wire cross-sections: Possibility to connect wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm², which ensures installation flexibility.
• Compliance with standards: Ensures safety and compliance with applicable regulations.
• Resistance to environmental conditions: Operation at temperatures from -25°C to 75°C guarantees reliability in various conditions.
• Expandability: Compatible with additional Eaton accessories, allowing customization to specific installation needs.
• Safety confirmed by CE certificate.

This circuit breaker is a solid solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable protection of their electrical installations. Eaton is a renowned manufacturer of electrical equipment, a guarantee of quality and safety.
