Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B50/3 286594

Overcurrent switch – reliable protection of electrical installations

This three-pole overcurrent switch from EATON, model PL6-B50/3, is a key element of every safe electrical installation. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting both devices and the installation itself. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees a quick response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage.

Characteristics and application

The switch is characterized by a B characteristic, which means it is ideal for circuits with devices with moderate inrush current – typical for home and commercial installations. It is perfect for lighting circuits, socket circuits and powering devices with low power consumption. The 3P (three-pole) construction provides protection for all phase conductors.

• Rated current: 50A – suitable for circuits with medium load.
• Rated voltage: 400V – standard voltage in most electrical installations.
• Breaking capacity: 6kA – high value guaranteeing effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Characteristic B: provides a quick response to overloads and short circuits, protecting wires and devices.
• Width: 3 modules – compact dimensions make it easy to mount in switchboards.

Construction and mounting

The PL6-B50/3 switch has been designed with easy installation and convenience in mind. It has double connection terminals (lift and busbar), which gives flexibility in choosing the method of connecting the wires. Mounting is done on a standard TH35 rail, and the installation depth is 70.5 mm. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against touch and ingress of solid objects. Made of high-quality materials, it guarantees durability and reliable operation for a long time. The ambient temperature in operating conditions is from -25 to 75°C, which allows it to be used in various environmental conditions. The cross-section of the connected single-wire or multi-wire conductor is 1-25 mm².
