Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D20/1 286546

6kA Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This single-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6-D series is a key protective element in any electrical installation. Designed to protect against the effects of overloads and short circuits, it ensures safe and stable operation of electrical devices. It is characterized by a high short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V, guaranteeing an effective response in emergency situations.

The PL6-D20/1 circuit breaker with a rated current of 20A and a D characteristic is particularly recommended for protecting circuits with devices with high inrush currents, such as motors or welding transformers. The D characteristic allows for temporary overloads without unnecessary tripping, which is important for the proper operation of these devices.

Construction and mounting

The circuit breaker is designed for easy mounting on a TH35 rail. Compact dimensions (1 module wide) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. Double connection terminals – both screw and spring – facilitate the connection of wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm². The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against accidental contact and the ingress of solid objects.
