Residual current circuit breaker 6kA PF6-40/2/01 286497

Residual Current Device – Safety and Installation Protection

This two-pole residual current device from Eaton's PF6 series, with a rated current of 40A and a tripping current of 0.1A type AC, is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect people from electric shock and to protect circuits from the effects of short circuits and overloads, it is a reliable solution for both professional installers and end users.

Features and Application

The PF6-40/2/01 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a DIN rail and is characterized by a wide range of wire cross-sections – from 1.5 mm² to 16 mm² for multi-strand wires and from 1.5 mm² to 35 mm² for solid wires. Its compact width of 2 modules allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board. The mechanical lock provides additional safety during maintenance and servicing. This circuit breaker is used in circuits with a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50Hz, effectively protecting against the effects of malfunctioning electrical devices.

Advantages and Benefits
