Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA HN-C2/1 EP-500762

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's HN series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits with a rated current of 2A, it effectively reacts to overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage and fires. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 400V) guarantees a quick and reliable response in emergency situations.

Construction and application

The circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design, taking up only 17.5 mm in width (1 module). Its versatility makes it suitable for both home and commercial installations. Characteristic C provides delayed tripping with short-term overloads, which is particularly important for devices with motors or other elements generating high starting current – this avoids unnecessary tripping of the circuit during normal operation. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures long-lasting and reliable operation.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA at 400V and 10kA at 230V – effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Characteristic C: ideal for circuits with devices with high starting current, such as motors or transformers. Allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit.
• Compact dimensions: width of 17.5 mm (1 module) makes it easy to install in switchboards with limited space.
• Wide operating temperature range: from -25°C to 75°C – allows use in various environmental conditions.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
• Wire cross-section: possibility of connecting solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm², which provides flexibility when selecting supply wires.
• Degree of protection IP20: protection against finger contact and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm – ensures safe use.
• Rated insulation voltage Ui: up to 440V - high resistance to insulation breakdown.
• Rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp: 4kV - protection against surge voltages.

Thanks to its solid construction and precise workmanship, this overcurrent circuit breaker is an investment in the safety and durability of your electrical installation. It is a product recommended for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable protection for their electrical devices.
