Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D10/2 286577

Overcurrent switch – reliable protection for your installation

This two-pole overcurrent switch with D characteristic is a key element of electrical protection in every circuit. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting both devices and the electrical installation. Its compact size – occupying only two modules – makes it easy to install even in crowded distribution boards.

Functionality and parameters for professionals

The PL6-D10/2 switch is designed for demanding applications. The D characteristic means delayed tripping, which is particularly important for pulsed loads or with high inrush current, such as motors or transformers. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 400V and 230V) guarantees safety in the event of a serious failure. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III confirm its resistance to interference.

• Rated current: 10A – ideal for protecting circuits with medium power consumption.
• Rated voltage: 400V – standard voltage in most electrical installations.
• Characteristic D: provides resistance to short-term current surges, typical of devices with motors.
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA – high value guaranteeing safety in the event of a failure.
• Width: 2 modules – saving space in the distribution board.
• Protection class IP20: protection against contact with fingers and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

Mounting and application

The PL6-D10/2 overcurrent switch is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Its versatility allows it to be used in a wide range of electrical installations:

• Home installations: protection of lighting circuits, socket circuits, and high-power household appliances.
• Industrial installations: protection of circuits powering machines and production equipment.
• Commercial buildings: protection of electrical installations in offices, shops and other public facilities.
• Main and sub-distribution boards: as an element of the overvoltage and short-circuit protection system.

The switch is compatible with solid and stranded conductors with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm². Operation in an ambient temperature from -25°C to 75°C ensures reliability even in difficult operating conditions. The possibility of mounting additional equipment allows the switch to be adapted to the specific needs of a given installation.
