Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D40/1 286549

Safety and Reliability in Your Electrical Installation

The PL6-D40/1 circuit breaker is a key element in protecting electrical installations, designed for both home and commercial use. The device effectively protects circuits against overload and short circuits, ensuring safe and stable operation of electrical devices. Characteristic D makes the breaker ideal for handling loads with high inrush currents, such as motors or welding transformers.

Functionality and Technical Parameters

This single-pole circuit breaker with a rated current of 40A and a short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V meets the requirements of EN 60898 standard. Designed to operate in AC networks at 230V, it offers solid protection for electrical installations. The compact design (1 module width) facilitates mounting in distribution boards. The circuit breaker has an IP20 protection degree, which means protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The cross-section of the connected conductors can range from 1 to 25 mm², providing flexibility in cable selection.

Installation and Application

The PL6-D40/1 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Thanks to the possibility of expansion with additional equipment, it can be adapted to the specific needs of the installation. It is an ideal solution for electrical installations requiring reliable protection against overloads and short circuits, especially where devices with high inrush currents are present. Made of high-quality materials by a renowned manufacturer – Eaton – guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation. The ambient operating temperature is in the range of -25°C to +75°C, allowing its use in various environmental conditions.
