Overcurrent circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D16/3 286613

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations.

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's xPole Home series, with a rated current of 16A and a short-circuit interrupting capacity of 6kA, is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed for reliability and ease of installation, it is suitable for both residential and commercial buildings. Characteristic D makes it particularly recommended for circuits with devices with high starting current, such as motors or welding transformers.

This circuit breaker protects the circuit against overload and short circuit – like most circuit breakers in this class. Its compact design (3 modules wide) allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board. Additionally, the ability to mount additional accessories expands the functionality of the device, adapting it to the individual needs of the installation.

Features and application

The PL6-D16/3 circuit breaker is not only a protective element, but also a convenient solution for installers. Double connection terminals (lift and busbar) facilitate the connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm², and the mounting clips speed up installation on the TH35 rail. This makes the installation faster and more precise.

The xPole Home series is characterized by high-quality materials and solid workmanship, which translates into long-lasting and trouble-free operation. These circuit breakers are ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and electrical devices requiring protection against overloads and short circuits. The use of characteristic D guarantees resistance to short-term current surges during the starting of devices with a motor or transformer.
