Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA HN-C16/2 194871

Overcurrent circuit breaker, an essential element in every electrical installation, provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits. The HN-C16/2 model from Eaton is a two-pole circuit breaker with a rated current of 16A and a breaking capacity of 6kA, designed to operate in AC circuits with a voltage of 230V. Its versatility makes it suitable for both home and commercial installations.

The C characteristic of the circuit breaker allows for safe protection of circuits with devices with high inrush currents – such as motors, pumps or certain types of LED lighting. This means that the circuit breaker reacts a little slower to short-term current surges, which prevents unnecessary tripping of the circuit when starting devices. At the same time, the high breaking capacity guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.

The circuit breaker is easy and intuitive to install thanks to the standard mounting on a DIN TH 35 rail. The double terminals – both screw and busbar – provide flexibility in connecting wires and busbars. The possibility of powering from both sides of the device also facilitates installation in tight spaces. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of EN 60898 standard, which confirms its safety and reliability.

• Versatile application: ideal for protecting socket circuits, lighting circuits and RTV and household appliances.
• C characteristic: provides protection against overloads and short circuits while avoiding unnecessary tripping of the circuit during the start-up of devices with high inrush current.
• High breaking capacity (6kA): guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure.
• Easy installation: standard mounting on a DIN TH 35 rail and double terminals facilitate installation.
• Universality: possibility of powering from both sides of the device increases installation flexibility.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of EN 60898 standard, ensuring safety and reliability.

The HN-C16/2 circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for every installer and end-user looking for effective protection of their electrical installation. Its compact dimensions (width 2 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear, and the high quality of workmanship guarantees a long service life. In addition, the degree of protection IP20 provides protection against accidental contact and against the ingress of small solid objects into the device.
