Circuit breaker 6kA PL6-D6/3 286610

Reliable protection of electrical installations – circuit breaker PL6-D6/3

This three-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PL6 series is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed for both home and commercial use, it effectively protects circuits from overload and short circuit. Its compact size (3 module width) makes it easy to install in distribution boards.

Characteristics and application

The PL6-D6/3 circuit breaker is characterized by a D characteristic, which means delayed tripping during short-term overloads. This is particularly important when powering devices with electric motors or other loads generating high inrush currents – it helps to avoid unnecessary tripping of the circuit when the device is started. The rated current of 6A makes it ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits or devices with lower power consumption. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective protection even in the event of serious failures.

• Versatile application: ideal for protecting lighting, sockets, household appliances and other electrical receivers.
• D characteristic: delayed tripping during short-term overloads – ideal for devices with motors.
• Compact dimensions: 3 module width makes installation easy in tight distribution boards.
• High reliability: ensures long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Compliance with standards: meets the requirements of EN 60898 standards and ensures safe operation.

Technical parameters and construction

The PL6-D6/3 circuit breaker has been designed with durability and ease of installation in mind. Its housing made of high-quality plastic provides resistance to mechanical damage and external factors (IP20 protection). Wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² can be connected both single-core and multi-core, which provides great flexibility during installation. The device operates in a temperature range from -25°C to 75°C, which allows it to be used in various environmental conditions. Energy limitation class 3 and surge category III demonstrate a high level of protection against the effects of overvoltage. Additionally, the possibility of installing additional equipment increases the functionality of the circuit breaker and allows it to be adapted to individual installation needs. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 440V and the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is 4kV.
