Circuit breaker 6kA HN-C16/3 194891

Safety and reliability in your electrical installation

The Eaton HN-C16/3 overcurrent circuit breaker is a key element protecting the electrical installation from the effects of overloads and short circuits. Designed for both professional installers and end-users, it provides effective protection of devices and safety in the home or company. This model, with a rated current of 16A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA, is perfect for protecting circuits with higher power demand.

Versatility and easy installation

The HN-C16/3 circuit breaker is characterized by its versatility. The possibility of power supply from both sides and double terminals – both screw and busbar – facilitate installation and connection to the existing infrastructure. Mounting on a standard DIN TH35 rail is quick and intuitive. The device is three-pole, providing comprehensive protection of the entire circuit.

Characteristics and application

The C characteristic of the circuit breaker means that it reacts a little slower to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with high inrush current, such as motors or inductively powered devices. This avoids unnecessary tripping of the circuit during normal operation of these devices. This circuit breaker is ideal for protecting:

• Socket circuits
• Lighting
• RTV and household appliances
• Capacitive devices (e.g. LED lighting)

Key product features:

• Rated current: 16 A – provides adequate protection for most standard household and industrial circuits.
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA – guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage.
• Characteristic C: Optimal for devices generating high inrush currents.
• Mounting: Quick and easy mounting on DIN TH35 rail.
• Terminals: Double screw and busbar terminals for flexible connection of wires.
• Rated voltage: 230 V AC - standard voltage in most electrical installations.
• Degree of protection: IP20 – protection against finger contact and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
• Operating temperature: From -25°C to +75°C - possibility of use in various environmental conditions.

The Eaton HN-C16/3 overcurrent circuit breaker is an investment in the safety and reliability of your electrical installation. By choosing Eaton products, you can be sure that you are using solutions of the highest quality, meeting strict safety standards.
