Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C40/4 166528

Electrical installation protection with 6kA overcurrent switch

This four-pole overcurrent switch, with a rated current of 40A and C characteristic, is a reliable protection for your electrical installation. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting devices and infrastructure from damage. The C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, making it well suited for starting devices with a motor.

Functionality and application

This switch is designed for use in circuits with a rated voltage of 230V and 400V, offering a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA in both cases. This makes it suitable for protecting various circuits, both in residential and commercial buildings. The ability to mount additional accessories expands its functionality, allowing it to be adapted to the specific needs of the installation. The cross-section of the single-wire or multi-wire connecting cable up to 25 mm² ensures compatibility with a wide range of cables.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): guarantees quick and effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure, minimizing the risk of damage.

• C characteristic: ideal for circuits with devices generating surge currents during start-up (e.g. motors, transformers).

• Wide voltage range (230V/400V): versatility of application in various electrical installations.

• Possibility of mounting additional accessories: flexibility of configuration and adaptation to individual needs.

• Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 standard: confirmation of device safety and reliability.

• Protection degree IP20: protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm – standard protection for devices mounted inside enclosures.

• Width of 4 modules: compact dimensions facilitate mounting in electrical switchboards.

• Operating temperature from -25°C to 75°C: possibility of use in a wide range of ambient temperatures.

• Rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp 4kV: increased resistance to impulse overvoltages.

This switch is a solid solution for professionals and end-users looking for reliable electrical installation protection. Its high quality of workmanship and compliance with standards ensure long-lasting and safe operation.
