Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B4/3 286585

xPole Home Circuit Breakers – Reliable Installation Protection

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton’s xPole Home series, with a rated current of 4A and B characteristic, is a fundamental element of electrical protection in every home. It provides effective protection of circuits against overload and short circuit, protecting devices and electrical installations from damage. Its compact size (3 modules wide) makes it easy to install in a distribution board.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PL6-B4/3 circuit breaker has been designed with ease of use and reliability in mind. The B characteristic makes it ideal for circuits with devices with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, minimizing the risk of unnecessary tripping. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA at 400V and 230V guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1 standards, confirming its safety and quality.

• Protects the electrical installation and connected devices against overload and short circuit.
• B characteristic is particularly useful in circuits with devices with high inrush current.
• Breaking capacity at 6kA ensures effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.
• Compact dimensions (3 modules wide) make it easy to install even in limited space of the distribution board.
• Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1 standards guarantees safety and high product quality.
• Rated voltage of 400V ensures versatility of application in typical electrical installations.
• Possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section of up to 25mm² allows adaptation to different types of cabling.
• Wide operating temperature range from -25°C to 75°C ensures reliability in various environmental conditions.

Installation and application

The PL6-B4/3 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a DIN rail, which ensures quick and easy installation and removal. It can be used in electrical installations of residential, commercial and industrial buildings, where effective protection against overload and short circuit is required. Thanks to the possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section of up to 25mm², this circuit breaker is compatible with various types of cabling. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the effects of water or dust – therefore, it should be mounted in distribution board enclosures.
