Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C16/2 286567

Overcurrent switch – reliable protection of electrical installation

This two-pole overcurrent switch from Eaton's PL6 series is a key element of every safe electrical installation. It provides effective protection of circuits against overload and short circuit, protecting both devices and users. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees a quick response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage and fire. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices with higher starting current, such as motors or lamp sets.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PL6-C16/2 switch is designed for easy installation and use. Its compact size – 2 module width – allows for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Adapted to work in the voltage range of 400V and frequency of 50-60Hz, it meets the requirements of most standard electrical installations. The use of high-quality materials and a solid construction ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation. The cross-section of the connected wire up to 25mm² allows you to connect wires of different thicknesses, adapting to the needs of a specific installation.

• Protects the circuit against damage caused by excessive current.
• Characteristic C is ideal for circuits with devices with higher starting current (e.g. motors, pumps).
• Breaking capacity of 6kA ensures a quick response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage.
• Compact dimensions (2 modules) save space in the switchgear cabinet.
• Wide voltage range (400V) and frequency (50-60Hz) ensure compatibility with most installations.
• Wire cross-section up to 25mm² provides flexibility in choosing wires.
• Protection class IP20 protects against finger contact and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
• Energy limitation class 3 provides adequate protection in the event of an electric arc.

This switch finds application both in home installations (lighting, sockets) and industrial installations, where reliable protection against the effects of overloads and short circuits is required. It is a product recommended for both professional installers and end-users looking for a safe and effective solution to protect their electrical installation.
