Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-B63/3 286595

Overcurrent switch – reliable protection of electrical installations

This three-pole overcurrent switch from Eaton's xPole Home series, with a rated current of 63A, is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical circuit. Designed for both home and commercial building use, it effectively protects against the effects of overloads and short circuits. A rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees a quick and reliable response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage and fires.

Functionality and application

The PL6-B63/3 switch with characteristic B is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other electrical devices with moderate inrush current. Characteristic B means that the switch reacts quickly to overvoltage, but tolerates short-term current surges during device start-up, which prevents unnecessary tripping. A width of 3 modules allows for easy mounting in standard distribution boards.

• Versatile application: ideal for securing lighting circuits, socket outlets and electrical devices.
• Fast response: characteristic B ensures quick tripping in case of overloads and short circuits.
• Easy installation: 3 module width facilitates installation in standard distribution boards.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
• Universality: suitable for AC installations with a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz.

Construction and technical parameters

The switch is made of high-quality materials, which ensures its durability and reliability even in difficult working conditions (ambient temperature from -25°C to 75°C). The IP20 degree of protection protects against finger contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² (solid or stranded) provides flexibility during installation. The rated impulse withstand voltage of 4kV further increases the device's resistance to sudden voltage changes. The energy limitation class is 3 and the surge category is III, which indicates a high level of protection.
