Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C4/2 286563

Overcurrent circuit breaker PL6-C4/2 – reliable protection for installations

The PL6-C4/2 overcurrent circuit breaker is a two-pole protection device designed to protect electrical circuits against overload and short circuit. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees an effective response in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage and ensuring safety. This model, with C characteristic, is particularly well suited for protecting circuits with receivers generating inrush currents, such as motors or transformers.

Construction and application

The PL6-C4/2 circuit breaker occupies 2 modules on a TH35 rail, making it easy to install in electrical distribution boards. Its compact dimensions (installation depth 70.5 mm) allow installation even in limited spaces. Designed for operation 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, making it a universal solution for various applications. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility when selecting appropriate cables.

Key features and benefits

• C characteristic: provides a delayed response to short-term current increases, which is important when protecting circuits with devices with high starting current – e.g. electric motors or transformers. This prevents the circuit breaker from tripping unnecessarily during normal operation of these devices.
• Short-circuit breaking capacity 6kA: guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit, protecting the remaining elements of the installation from damage and minimizing the risk of fire.
• Compact dimensions: occupies only 2 modules on a TH35 rail, saving space in the distribution board.
• Wide range of voltages and frequencies: allows use in various types of electrical installations (400V, 50-60Hz).
• Expandability: compatible with additional equipment, allowing you to adapt the circuit breaker's functionality to the specific needs of the installation.
• Protection class IP20: provides protection against finger contact, increasing safety.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of EN 60898 and EN 60947-2 standards, confirming its high quality and reliability.

The PL6-C4/2 circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for professionals and end users looking for effective protection of their electrical installations. Its versatility and ease of installation make it ideal for both new installations and modernization of existing systems.
