Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D10/1 286543

PL6 Series Overcurrent Circuit Breakers – Reliable Installation Protection

The PL6-D10/1 overcurrent circuit breaker is a protective element for electrical installations against overloads and short circuits. Designed by the renowned Eaton company, it provides effective protection for devices and cables, minimizing the risk of failures and fires. This single-pole circuit breaker with characteristic D is an ideal solution for both home and commercial installations.

Characteristics and Application

The PL6-D10/1 circuit breaker with a rated current of 10A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA effectively protects circuits against the effects of sudden current surges. Characteristic D makes it particularly recommended for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current, such as electric motors, transformers or heating devices. Thanks to this, the circuit breaker does not trip unnecessarily during the start-up of these devices, ensuring uninterrupted power supply.

Application in AC installations with a voltage of 230V guarantees the versatility of the product. Compact dimensions (1 module width) allow for easy mounting in electrical distribution boards. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against touch and ingress of solid objects.

Advantages and Benefits for Professionals and End Users

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (6kA): Ensures effective protection of the installation in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage and fire.
• Characteristic D: Ideal for protecting circuits with receivers with high inrush current – motors, transformers, heaters. Eliminates unnecessary tripping during device start-up.
• Compact dimensions (1 module): Allows saving space in the distribution board and facilitates installation.
• Versatility: Designed for operation in 230V AC installations, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
