Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C40/3 286605

Overcurrent circuit breaker series PL6 – reliable protection of installations

The Eaton PL6-C40/3 overcurrent circuit breaker is a three-pole device designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. It is characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity – up to 6kA, which ensures effective protection in the event of a failure. It is a key element of every electrical installation, both in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Construction and application

The PL6-C40/3 circuit breaker has been designed for easy mounting on a TH35 rail. Its compact dimensions (width of 3 modules) allow for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Characteristic C provides a delayed tripping response to short-term overloads, which is particularly important for devices with electric motors or other elements generating high inrush currents. This prevents the circuit breaker from tripping unnecessarily during normal operation of these devices, while effectively reacting to real threats.

Application:

• Protection of circuits with a rated current of 40A

• Installations with a rated voltage of 400V and frequency of 50-60Hz

• Residential and public utility construction

• Industrial applications

• Protection against the effects of short circuits and overloads

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): Ensures effective protection of the installation even in the event of serious failures.

• Characteristic C: Ideal for circuits with loads generating high inrush currents, minimizes the risk of false tripping.

• Compact dimensions (3 modules): Allows for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet.

• Wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 75°C): Allows use in various environmental conditions.

• Possibility of mounting additional accessories: Expands the functionality of the circuit breaker and adapts it to specific installation needs.

• Compliance with EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2 standards: Guarantees the safety and reliability of the device.

• Wire cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm²: Allows connection of wires of different thicknesses, providing installation flexibility.

The PL6-C40/3 circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for professionals and end users who expect high quality and effective protection of their electrical installations. Its versatility makes it perfect for a variety of applications, ensuring safety and comfort of use for a long time.
