Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA HN-C50/1 194836

Overcurrent circuit breaker for electrical installation protection

This single-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's xPole Home series, model HN-C50/1, is a reliable solution for protecting electrical circuits in residential and commercial buildings. Designed for safety and ease of installation, it is a key element of any modern installation. Its compact size allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.

Functionality and parameters

The HN-C50/1 circuit breaker is characterized by a rated current of 50A and a C characteristic, which means it is ideal for protecting circuits with devices with moderate inrush currents – such as LED lighting or induction cooktops. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 6kA, guaranteeing effective protection against the effects of sudden overvoltages and short circuits. Therefore, in the event of a failure, the circuit breaker automatically disconnects the circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.

• Rated current: 50A – provides adequate protection for circuits with medium load.

• Characteristic C: Allows for short-term exceeding of the rated current without tripping, which is important when starting devices with motors or heating elements.

• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA – high value guarantees safety in the event of a short circuit.

• Mounting: On DIN rail TH 35 – standard mounting simplifies installation and replacement.

• Width: 1 module (17.7 mm) – saves space in the distribution board.

• Degree of protection: IP20 – protection against contact with fingers and solid objects.

Application and benefits

This circuit breaker is perfect for protecting socket circuits, lighting circuits and RTV and household appliances. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for a reliable solution to protect their electrical installation. Compliance with RoHS standards demonstrates a concern for the natural environment. Additionally, the possibility of flush mounting increases installation flexibility.

• Protection against overloads and short circuits in home and commercial installations.

• Protection of electrical appliances against damage caused by overvoltages.

• Easy mounting on standard DIN rail TH 35.

• Compact dimensions save space in the electrical distribution board.

• Compliance with applicable safety standards (IEC/EN 60898).
