Circuit breaker 6kA HN-C40/2 194875

Highly reliable protection for electrical installations – Eaton HN-C40/2 circuit breaker

This two-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's xPole Home series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it guarantees reliable operation in both residential and commercial buildings. The HN-C40/2 model combines compact size, easy installation and high efficiency, making it an ideal choice for professionals and demanding users.

Functionality and application

This circuit breaker is characterized by a rated current of 40A and a breaking capacity of 6kA at voltages of 230V and 400V, providing effective circuit protection. Characteristic C makes it ideal for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as induction cookers, motors or LED lighting. Mounting on a DIN TH 35 rail is quick and intuitive, and universal terminals (lift and rail) allow for flexible connection of wires. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of insulation coordination, ensuring a safe distance between contacts.

Advantages for installers and users

• Versatility: The ability to power from both sides of the device facilitates installation in various configurations.

• Safety: Provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation and fires.

• Compatibility: A wide range of voltages (AC) and compliance with EN 60898 standards make the circuit breaker universally applicable.

• Durability: Made of high-quality plastic (IP20), resistant to external factors.

• Easy installation: Quick mounting on a DIN TH 35 rail and double terminals facilitate the work of installers.

• Status indicator: A clear contact position indicator (red/green) allows for quick identification of the circuit breaker status.

• Possibility of sealing: Provides additional protection against unauthorized switching on or off of the circuit breaker.

Technical parameters in practice

The Eaton HN-C40/2 circuit breaker has been designed with reliability and long-term operation in mind. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3 guarantee resistance to interference in the electrical network. Pollution degree 3 means that the device can operate in environments with increased dust or humidity. Ambient temperature in operating conditions from -25°C to 75°C allows the circuit breaker to be used in various climatic conditions. The cross-section of the connected solid or stranded wire up to 25 mm² ensures compatibility with various types of wires. The rated impulse withstand voltage is as high as 4 kV, which further increases its resistance to sudden voltage surges.
