Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D40/3 286617

6kA Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Protection for Electrical Installations

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6 series is a key element ensuring safety in any electrical installation. Designed to protect against overloads and short circuits, it guarantees stable operation and long-term reliability. The D characteristic makes it particularly recommended for circuits with devices generating high inrush currents, such as motors or transformers. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA at 230V and 400V ensures an effective response in emergency situations, minimizing the risk of damage and fires.

Construction and Application

The PL6-D40/3 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail. Its compact dimensions – a width of 3 modules – allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. Suitable for operation in temperatures from -25°C to 75°C, it will perform well in various environmental conditions. The ability to use wires with a cross-section from 1 mm² to 25 mm² (solid and stranded) provides flexibility during installation. The IP20 degree of protection prevents accidental contact, increasing safety.
