Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C32/4 166526

Electrical installation protection with circuit breaker PL6-C32/4

This four-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6 series provides reliable protection for your electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits from overload and short circuit, it ensures safe use and long-term system stability. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V guarantees an effective response in emergency situations.

Functionality and application

The PL6-C32/4 circuit breaker is characterized by a C characteristic, which means it allows for short-term overloads, such as those occurring during the starting of motors or devices with heating elements. This minimizes the risk of unnecessary circuit tripping. It is intended for use in AC installations with a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50-60Hz. The ability to connect solid and stranded wires with a cross-section of 1…25 mm² provides installation flexibility.

• Overload protection: Protects the circuit from damage caused by excessive load.

• Short-circuit protection: Reacts quickly to a short circuit, disconnecting the circuit and preventing more serious failures.

• C characteristic: Ideal for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents, e.g. motors or heating devices.

• Versatility: Can be used in both single-phase and multi-phase (AC) installations.

• Width of 4 modules: Compact dimensions make it easy to install in electrical distribution boards.

Technical parameters and construction

The PL6-C32/4 circuit breaker has been designed with durability and reliability in mind. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against accidental contact, and the operating temperature range from -25°C to 75°C allows it to be used in various environmental conditions. Made of high-quality materials, it meets safety standards and is resistant to mechanical damage. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4 kV, which further increases its resistance to overvoltages. Additionally, the possibility of expanding with additional equipment allows you to adapt the circuit breaker to the specific needs of the installation.
