Eaton PL6-C10/3 Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

The PL6-C10/3 overcurrent circuit breaker is a protective device that effectively safeguards electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for both home and professional applications, it ensures safety and reliable operation. Its compact size and TH35 rail mounting allow for easy integration with existing distribution boards.

Characteristics and Application

The PL6-C10/3 circuit breaker features a C characteristic, making it ideal for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush currents – such as motors, transformers, or heating devices. This characteristic allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit, which is especially important for devices requiring a current pulse during start-up. The rated current of 10A makes this circuit breaker perfect for protecting lighting, socket outlets, and other electrical devices with medium power consumption. The three-pole design (3P) provides complete protection for the entire circuit.

• Versatile application: ideal for protecting lighting, sockets, heating devices and motors.
• C characteristic: provides protection against overload and short circuit while taking into account inrush currents.
• Rated breaking capacity: 6kA at 400V and 230V – guarantee of effective intervention in the event of a failure.
• TH35 rail mounting: quick and easy mounting in the distribution board.
• Compact dimensions: width of 3 modules allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.

Technical Parameters and Construction

The PL6-C10/3 circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, guaranteeing its durability and reliability. It has a protection degree of IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. Its construction meets the requirements of EN 60898 standards and has energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category III – confirming its safety of use. The rated impulse withstand voltage is as high as 4kV. The possibility of additional equipment allows you to adapt the circuit breaker to specific installation needs. Conductors with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² can be connected both single-wire and multi-wire. The ambient operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to +75°C, making it resistant to changing environmental conditions. Power losses are only 4.5W, which translates to energy efficiency of the installation.
