Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA HN-C13/1 194830

Overcurrent switch for protecting electrical installations

This single-pole overcurrent switch from Eaton's xPole Home series, model HN-C13/1, is a reliable device designed to protect electrical circuits in residential and commercial buildings. It provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation and increasing user safety. Characteristic C makes the switch cope well with loads with high inrush currents, such as devices with motors or LED lighting.

Functionality and installation

The HN-C13/1 switch is designed for easy installation and use. Mounting is done on a standard TH 35 DIN rail, and universal terminals allow connection of both solid and stranded wires (with a cross-section of 1…25 mm²) as well as busbars. Thanks to the double terminals, the connection is flexible and adaptable to various installation configurations. The gray lever combined with the ON/OFF indicator allows for easy visual control of the device status. The ability to seal the lever in the ON and OFF positions further increases safety.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 6 kA at 230 V and 6 kA at 400 V guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, protecting against serious damage.
• Characteristic C: Ideal for protecting circuits with devices with high inrush current (e.g., motors, LED lighting). Allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit.
• Versatility: Possibility of power supply from the top and bottom facilitates installation in various conditions.
• Wide voltage range: Operation at 230 V AC and 48 V DC ensures compatibility with various electrical systems.
• Durability: The switch withstands 20,000 mechanical cycles and 10,000 electrical cycles, guaranteeing long-term and reliable operation.
• Safety: Meets the requirements of coordination of insulation and has a degree of protection of IP20, providing protection against accidental contact.
• Status indicator: Optical tripping indicator allows for quick identification of problems in the circuit.

Eaton overcurrent switches are an investment in the safety and reliability of your electrical installation – both for professional installers and end users.
