Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C13/1N 106033

Overcurrent circuit breaker PL6-C13/1N is a reliable protection for electrical installations, designed for both home and commercial use. The device effectively protects circuits against overload and short circuit, ensuring safe operation and minimizing the risk of failure. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees an effective response in the event of sudden overvoltages.

Characteristics and application

The PL6-C13/1N circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it is designed to protect circuits with receivers generating inrush currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or heating devices. Thanks to this, it does not switch off unnecessarily during short-term current surges, but at the same time provides full protection in the event of overload or short circuit. This is particularly important in installations where devices with high power consumption at start-up are present.

The design of the circuit breaker allows for mounting on a TH35 rail, which simplifies and speeds up installation. The compact dimensions (2 module width) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Additionally, the ability to connect wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility in choosing the appropriate cables.

Advantages and technical parameters

• Provides a high short-circuit breaking capacity – 6kA at 400V and 230V, which guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.
• Characteristic C makes it ideal for protecting circuits with receivers generating inrush currents during start-up.
• Compact 2 module width saves space in the switchgear cabinet.
• Accepts wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm², providing flexibility in choosing the appropriate cables for the installation.
• Designed to operate at 400V, standard in most electrical installations.
• Has a protection degree of IP20 – provides a basic level of safety for devices mounted inside switchgear cabinets (protection against touching with a finger and solid bodies with a diameter greater than 12.5 mm).
• Resistant to impulse overvoltages thanks to the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 4kV.
• Possibility of expanding functionality with additional equipment (e.g. indicators).
• Disconnectable N pole simultaneously increases safety during maintenance and repair of the installation.

The PL6-C13/1N circuit breaker meets the requirements of EN 60898 standards and has energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category III, which confirms its compliance with applicable safety standards. The ambient operating temperature from -25°C to +75°C allows it to be used in a wide range of environmental conditions.
