Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA HN-B16/2 194861

Safety and Reliability in Your Electrical Installation

This two-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's xPole Home series, model HN-B16/2, is a key element in protecting the electrical circuits in your home or business. It provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to equipment and fires. The B characteristic ensures that the breaker reacts quickly to sudden current surges, which is particularly important in socket and lighting circuits.

Versatility and Easy Installation

The HN-B16/2 circuit breaker has been designed with the convenience of both installers and end-users in mind. Mounting on a standard DIN TH 35 rail is quick and easy. The dual terminals – both screw-type for wire and rail-type for busbars – provide flexibility in choosing the connection method. The ability to power from both sides of the device further simplifies installation in tight spaces.

Key Features and Benefits

• Short-circuit capacity 6kA: guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, protecting against serious damage.
• B characteristic: ideal for protecting circuits with a resistive nature, such as sockets and traditional lighting. Reacts quickly to short-term overloads, protecting sensitive devices.
• Universal connection: dual terminals (screw and rail) and the ability to power from both sides provide flexibility during installation.
• Status indicator: a clear red-green indicator of the contact position allows for a quick visual assessment of the breaker's status.
• Width of 2 modules: compact size allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.
• Suitable for operation in a wide temperature range: from -25°C to 75°C, ensuring reliable operation even in difficult conditions.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of EN 60898, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
