Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B2/1 286516

Reliable protection of electrical installations with EATON PL6-B2/1 circuit breaker

The EATON PL6-B2/1 circuit breaker is a key element of every safe electrical installation. It provides effective protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to equipment and fires. The device is characterized by high reliability and durability, making it an ideal choice for both professional installers and demanding end-users.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PL6-B2/1 circuit breaker has been designed with ease of installation and use in mind. Compact dimensions (1 module width – 17.5 mm) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. A rated current of 2A makes it a suitable choice for protecting circuits with lower power consumption, e.g. lighting or sockets in residential premises. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 230V and 400V) guarantees a quick response in the event of a failure, cutting off the power supply and protecting the installation from more serious damage. B characteristic ensures fast tripping in case of overloads and short circuits, and also allows tolerance for short-term current surges, e.g. when starting motors.

• Overload and short circuit protection: Protects the circuit from damage caused by excessive load or short circuit.
• Fast response: Short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA ensures instantaneous disconnection of power in case of failure.
• Compact dimensions: 1 module width makes it easy to install in tight distribution boards.
• B characteristic: Suitable for protecting circuits with devices generating short-term current surges (e.g. motors).
• Versatility: Possibility to connect solid and stranded conductors with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm².
• Safety: Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 standard guarantees a high level of safety.

Construction and application

The EATON PL6-B2/1 circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, which ensures its durability and resistance to environmental conditions (operating temperature from -25°C to +75°C). It has a protection degree of IP20, which means protection against touching with fingers and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The device is intended for use in electrical installations with a rated voltage of 230V AC and an insulation voltage of 440V. Thanks to the universal mounting on a DIN rail, installation is simple and quick. This circuit breaker is used in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where reliable protection of electrical circuits with lower current intensity is required.
