Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B16/1N 106028

6kA Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This 6kA overcurrent circuit breaker from Eaton's xPole Home series is a key element of every safe and functional electrical installation. Designed for both home and commercial use, it provides effective protection for circuits against overload and short circuit. Its compact size (2 module width) makes it easy to install in distribution boards, and its versatility makes it an ideal choice for installers and end-users.

Characteristics and Application

The circuit breaker features a C tripping characteristic, meaning it responds with a delay to short-term current surges. This makes it perfect for circuits with devices with high inrush currents, such as motors or heating appliances. The rated current of 16A allows for the protection of typical lighting and socket circuits. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees safety in the event of serious failures.

This circuit breaker is designed to operate in AC networks with a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz. It meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1 standards, confirming its high quality and reliability. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² (solid and stranded) provides flexibility during installation.
