Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C16/3N 106910

6kA Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6 series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it guarantees stable and safe operation of electrical circuits. Rated current of 16A and high short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA make it an ideal solution for both home and commercial installations.

Solid Construction and Wide Application

The PL6-C16/3N circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design, occupying 4 modules in width. Its mounting depth is 70.5 mm, making it easy to install in electrical distribution boards. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures long-lasting and reliable operation even in harsh environmental conditions (operating temperature from -25°C to 75°C). IP20 protection degree provides protection against touch and dust.

The C tripping characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts faster to an increase in short-circuit current than to short-term overloads, which is particularly important when protecting circuits with receivers with high starting current – e.g. motors or transformers. The rated impulse withstand voltage of 4kV further increases its resistance to sudden voltage surges.

Key Features and Benefits:

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): effectively interrupts the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.
• C characteristic: optimal for protecting circuits with receivers with high starting current – protects against false tripping caused by short-term overloads.
• Three-pole design (3P + N): provides comprehensive protection for the entire circuit, including the neutral conductor.
• Wide range of connectable conductors (1-25 mm²): allows connection of conductors of different thicknesses, adapting to the needs of a specific installation.
• Compliance with EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards: guarantee of safety and reliability confirmed by certificates.
• Expandability: compatible with additional Eaton accessories, allowing you to customize functionality to individual needs.
• Surge category III and energy limitation class III: provides adequate protection in installations exposed to atmospheric or switching surges.

The PL6-C16/3N circuit breaker is a solid choice for both professional installers looking for a reliable component for building safe electrical installations, and for end-users who care about the safety of their home or company.
