Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C20/4 166522

PL6 Series Circuit Breakers – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

The PL6-C20/4 circuit breaker is a protective element for electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Designed by the renowned company Eaton, it provides effective protection for devices and cables, minimizing the risk of failures and fires. This single-pole circuit breaker with C characteristic, rated current of 20A and short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA, is an ideal solution for both home and commercial installations.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PL6-C20/4 circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design – it occupies only one module width, which facilitates installation in distribution boards. Its versatility is confirmed by the possibility of connecting solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm². The rated impulse withstand voltage level of 4 kV guarantees resistance to sudden voltage surges. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category 3 indicate its ability to protect against the effects of overvoltages.

• C characteristic: provides a quick response in the event of short circuits, but allows for short-term overloads without unnecessary tripping (e.g., during motor starting).
• 6kA short-circuit breaking capacity: effectively interrupts the circuit in the event of a short circuit, protecting the remaining elements of the installation.
• 1 module width: saves space in the distribution board.
• Operating temperature range from -25°C to 75°C: allows use in various environmental conditions.
• Rated insulation voltage Ui 440V: ensures safe use.
• Protection degree IP20: protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

Installation and application

The installation of the PL6-C20/4 circuit breaker is simple and intuitive – it is carried out on a standard TH35 rail. This element is intended for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and other electrical devices with moderate power consumption. Thanks to the possibility of additional equipment (e.g., auxiliary contacts), it can be adapted to the specific requirements of the installation. This circuit breaker is used in residential buildings, offices, shops and other public facilities.
