Residual current circuit breaker 6kA type AC HNC-40/2/003 194691

Residual Current Circuit Breaker – reliable protection for your installation

This 2-pole residual current circuit breaker from Eaton’s xPole Home series is a key element ensuring safety in every home and building. The device effectively protects against electric shock, and its compact size (2 modules) makes it easy to install in standard distribution boards. The HNC-40/2/003 circuit breaker, with a rated current of 40A and AC sensitivity, is an ideal solution for electrical installations requiring reliable protection.

Key features and applications

The HNC-40/2/003 residual current circuit breaker is designed to protect people and equipment from the effects of leakage currents. Thanks to its sensitivity to alternating currents (AC), it provides effective protection in typical household conditions. The rated breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees safety even in the event of short circuits. The possibility of connecting wires using both screw terminals and busbars facilitates installation and integration with the existing installation.

• Protection against electric shock: Fast disconnection of power in the event of a leakage current minimizes the risk of electric shock.

• Versatile installation: The possibility of connecting wires using screw terminals or busbars facilitates installation.

• Compact dimensions: Occupies only 2 modules in the distribution board, saving space.

• Compliance with standards: Ensures compliance with applicable regulations and safety standards.

• Wide range of applications: Ideal for use in residential buildings, commercial facilities and other electrical installations.

Technical parameters and construction

The HNC-40/2/003 circuit breaker has been designed with durability and reliability in mind. Its housing made of high-quality plastic provides resistance to mechanical damage and environmental conditions. The contact position indicator (red/green) makes it easy to quickly identify the device’s status. The use of dual terminals (screw and busbar) increases flexibility during installation, and the possibility of supplying power from the top or bottom of the device facilitates integration with the existing electrical infrastructure.

The circuit breaker is characterized by a rated current of 40A, has 2 poles and operates at AC voltage. Its rated breaking capacity is 6kA, and the rated differential current is 0.03A. The degree of protection is IP20, and the width of the device is 2 modules. The installation depth is 45 mm. It is possible to connect solid wires with a cross-section from 1.5 to 35 mm² and stranded wires with a cross-section from 1.5 to 16 mm².

Remember to regularly test the operation of the residual current circuit breaker (recommended every 6 months) to ensure its proper functioning and continuous protection of your electrical installation. The HNC-40/2/003 circuit breaker is an investment in safety and peace of mind.
