Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B6/2 286552

Reliable protection of electrical installations – 6kA circuit breaker

This two-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6-B6/2 series is a key element of protection in every electrical installation. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting both devices and the installation from damage. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees a quick and safe response in the event of a failure.

Functionality and application

The PL6-B6/2 circuit breaker is characterized by a B characteristic, which means it is ideal for protecting circuits with devices with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers. This prevents unnecessary tripping of the circuit when starting these devices. A width of 2 modules allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board. Designed for use in AC networks with a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz.

Key features and benefits

• High breaking capacity: 6kA ensures effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage.
• B characteristic: Allows for trouble-free starting of devices with high inrush current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker.
• Compact dimensions: A width of 2 modules makes installation easier and optimizes space in the distribution board.
• Versatility: Suitable for connecting solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm².
• Wide operating temperature range: The ability to operate at temperatures from -25°C to +75°C ensures reliability in various environmental conditions.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1 standards, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
• Solid construction: Made of high-quality materials, which translates to long life and reliable operation.

Installation and technical parameters

The PL6-B6/2 circuit breaker is mounted on a DIN rail, which greatly simplifies its installation. It has a protection degree of IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The rated current is 6A, and the rated insulation voltage Ui is 440V. Power losses are 3.6W. The circuit breaker is intended for use in overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2.
