Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B16/1 286521

Overcurrent switch for safe installation

This single-pole Eaton PL6-B16/1 overcurrent switch is a reliable safety element for electrical installations, protecting them from the effects of overloads and short circuits. A rated current of 16A combined with a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective protection in both home and commercial installations. The device is characterized by a compact design – it occupies only one module on a DIN rail, which facilitates installation even in crowded distribution boards.

Characteristics and application

The switch with B characteristic is particularly recommended for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers. Thanks to the fact that it reacts delayed to short-term current surges, it minimizes the risk of unnecessary tripping of the installation during the start-up of devices. The rated voltage of 230V AC makes it an ideal solution for standard power grids. The possibility of mounting additional equipment allows you to adapt the functionality of the switch to the specific needs of the installation.
