Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B20/1 286522

6kA Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from the PL6 series, with a rated current of 20A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA, is a key element ensuring safety in any electrical installation. Designed for both home and commercial use, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits. The B characteristic ensures a quick response to current increase, which is particularly important in circuits with devices with high inrush current.

Construction and Application

The PL6-B20/1 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Its compact dimensions (1 module width) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. The rated voltage of 230V and the insulation voltage of 440V make it a universal solution for most standard installations. The ability to connect wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility during installation. This circuit breaker is used to protect lighting circuits, socket circuits and other electrical loads.

Key Features and Benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): Provides effective protection against the effects of serious short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to equipment and fire.
• B characteristic: Ideal for protecting circuits with loads with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers – allows for short-term exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping.
• Compact dimensions (1 module): Enables space-saving use in the distribution board, which is particularly important in tight spaces.
• Wide range of wire cross-sections (1-25 mm²): Provides flexibility when selecting the appropriate wires for the load.
• Protection degree IP20: Provides basic protection against touch and contamination, increasing safety.
• Compliance with EN 60898 standards: Guarantee of safety and reliability confirmed by a certificate of conformity with European standards.
• Possibility of additional equipment: Allows expanding the functionality of the circuit breaker by adding accessories, such as status indicators or locks.

The PL6-B20/1 circuit breaker is a replacement for the CLS6 series from Eaton, which simplifies the modernization of existing installations without the need to replace the entire distribution board. It is a solid and reliable device that will meet the expectations of even the most demanding users and installers.
