Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B2/3 286584

6kA Overcurrent Switch – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This three-pole overcurrent switch from Eaton's PL6 series, with a rated current of 2A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA, is a key element ensuring safety in any electrical installation. Designed for both home and professional use, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Characteristic B provides a quick response to current increases, which is particularly important in circuits with devices with high inrush current.

Construction and Application

The PL6-B2/3 switch is designed to protect electrical circuits with a rated voltage of 400V. Its compact design (3 module width) makes it easy to install in distribution boards. The switching capacity at 6kA at 230V and 400V guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit. This switch is used to protect lighting, socket outlets and other electrical devices. The ability to mount additional accessories allows the switch to be adapted to the specific needs of the installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): Ensures quick and reliable disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of equipment damage and fire.
• Characteristic B: Ideal for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers – allows for short-term exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping.
• Compact dimensions (3 modules): Allow for easy installation even in tight distribution boards.
• Wide range of connectable conductors (1-25 mm²): Provides flexibility in choosing conductors matched to the load.
• Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 standards: Guarantee of safety and reliability confirmed by certificates.
• Protection degree IP20: Protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm – ensures safe use.
• Operating temperature from -25°C to 75°C: Possibility of use in a wide range of ambient temperatures.
• Rated insulation voltage Ui 440V: Ensures safe operation of the device in various installation conditions.

The PL6-B2/3 switch is a solid and reliable solution for anyone who values safety and comfort when using an electrical installation. Its versatility makes it an ideal product for both professional installers and end-users who care about the safety of their home or business.
