Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C20/3 286602

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

This three-pole overcurrent circuit breaker from Eaton, with a rated current of 20A and C characteristic, is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect against overloads and short circuits, it performs well in both domestic and professional applications. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees an effective response in emergency situations, minimizing the risk of damage and fires.

Construction and parameters

The PL6-C20/3 circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design – it occupies 3 modules in width, which facilitates mounting in distribution boards. Its embedding depth is 70.5 mm. Adapted to operate in AC networks with a voltage of 400V and a frequency of 50-60Hz, it meets the requirements of overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2. Made of high-quality materials, it ensures durability and reliable operation even in difficult conditions – the ambient operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to +75°C. The IP20 protection degree indicates protection against touching with a finger.

Application and benefits

The PL6-C20/3 circuit breaker is widely used in protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and electrical devices with moderate starting current. The C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, so it tolerates the starting of devices with a motor well. This minimizes the risk of unnecessary circuit tripping during normal operation. The ability to mount additional equipment increases the functionality of the circuit breaker and allows it to be adapted to individual installation needs. Compliance with EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards confirms its safety and high quality of workmanship. The cross-section of the connected single-wire or multi-wire conductor is 1-25 mm².
