Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C25/3N 106912

Three-phase overcurrent circuit breaker with neutral protection

This PL6 series overcurrent circuit breaker from Eaton is a reliable solution for protecting electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Designed for operation in AC networks, it provides effective protection for circuits with a rated current of 25A. The 3P+N construction (three-phase poles plus a neutral pole) guarantees comprehensive protection, and the ability to simultaneously disconnect the N pole increases safety. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V ensures effective disconnection in the event of a failure.

Characteristics and application

The PL6-C25/3N circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it is designed to protect circuits with devices generating inrush currents during start-up – such as motors or transformers. This prevents unnecessary tripping during short-term load surges, while effectively responding to overloads and short circuits. The width of 4 modules allows for easy mounting in standard distribution boards. It is an ideal solution for both home and commercial installations where reliable protection against the effects of electrical failures is required.

Construction and user features

The circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, which guarantees its durability and reliability. It has double connection terminals – both screw and spring-loaded – which facilitates the connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm². The degree of protection IP20 provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the effects of water. The possibility of mounting additional equipment, such as auxiliary contacts or indicators, allows for expanding the functionality of the circuit breaker and adapting it to the specific needs of the installation. Operation in a temperature range from -25°C to 75°C makes it suitable for use in various environmental conditions. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III demonstrate a high level of safety and resistance to interference.
