Overcurrent circuit breaker 10 kA, In=16 A, B characteristic, 3+N pole PLSM PLSM-B16/3N-MW 242517

Overcurrent switch 3P+N – reliable installation protection

This 3-pole plus neutral (3+N) overcurrent switch from Eaton, with a rated current of 16A and B characteristic, is a key element of every safe electrical installation. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting both devices and the installation itself. The short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees a quick response in the event of a failure.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PLSM-B16/3N-MW switch is designed for easy mounting on a TH35 DIN rail. Its width of 4 modules allows for optimal use of space in the distribution board. The B characteristic means that the switch reacts quickly to a short circuit, but is more tolerant of short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with electric motors or other inductive loads. The rated impulse withstand voltage of 4kV provides additional safety in the event of overvoltage.

• The switch is ideal for protecting typical lighting and socket circuits thanks to the rated current of 16A.
• Effective protection in the event of serious failures is guaranteed by the high short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA at 230V and 400V.
• Fast response to short circuits and tolerance to short-term overloads are ensured by the B characteristic.
• Comprehensive protection of the circuit with a neutral conductor is possible thanks to the 3-pole plus neutral (3P+N) construction.
• Mounting on a TH35 DIN rail facilitates installation and replacement.
• Protection against finger contact and solid objects larger than 12.5 mm is ensured by the IP20 degree of protection.
• A wide range of operating temperatures from -25°C to +75°C enables use in various environmental conditions.

For installers and end users

This switch is not only a protective element, but also an investment in peace of mind. For installers, this means easy installation, reliable operation and compliance with safety standards. For end users – a guarantee of protection for their electrical appliances and the safety of their households. By choosing Eaton products, you are opting for proven quality and reliability, confirmed by the company's many years of experience in the energy sector. Additionally, the possibility of additional equipment allows you to adapt the switch to the specific needs of a given installation.
