Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-C6/3 286598

PL6 Series Circuit Breakers – Reliable Installation Protection

The PL6-C6/3 circuit breaker is a protective element for electrical installations against the effects of overloads and short circuits. Designed by Eaton, it provides effective protection for circuits with a rated current of 6A. Thanks to its C characteristic, this breaker is ideal for applications where short-term current surges occur, such as starting motors or devices with heating elements. It is a solid and reliable solution for both professional installers and end-users looking for safe and effective electrical protection.

Construction and Application

The PL6-C6/3 breaker is a three-pole modular device designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Its compact dimensions (width 3 modules, depth 70.5 mm) allow for easy integration with existing switchboards. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 440V, and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV, guaranteeing high resistance to overvoltages. The device meets the requirements of overvoltage category III and pollution degree 2, making it suitable for use in industrial and commercial environments. This breaker is used in lighting circuits, electrical outlets, and for protecting electrical devices with moderate power consumption.

Key Features and Benefits

• C characteristic: provides delayed tripping during short-term overloads, minimizing the risk of unnecessary circuit disconnection when starting devices with motors or heating elements.
• Rated breaking capacity: 6kA at 400V and 230V guarantees effective circuit interruption in the event of a short circuit, protecting the installation from damage.
• Modular construction: enables easy mounting and dismounting of the breaker on a TH35 rail, facilitating maintenance and modernization of the installation.
• Wide connection range: the ability to connect solid and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility during installation.
• Energy limitation class 3: provides a high level of protection against the effects of electric arc occurring during a short circuit.
• Operating temperature: A wide operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C allows the breaker to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Expandability: Compatibility with additional Eaton accessories allows you to customize the breaker's functionality to specific application needs.

The PL6-C6/3 breaker is the optimal choice for anyone who values safety, reliability and ease of installation. Its solid construction and compliance with applicable standards ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation in various electrical applications.
