Overcurrent circuit breaker 10 kA, In=6 A, characteristic C, 2-pole PLSM PLSM-C6/2-MW 242399

Overcurrent circuit breaker – reliable protection for electrical installations

This two-pole circuit breaker from Eaton's PLSM series, with a rated current of 6A and C characteristic, is a key element ensuring safety in every electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overload and short circuit, it performs well in both home and professional applications. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA guarantees an effective response in emergency situations.

Functionality and technical parameters

The PLSM-C6/2-MW circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design – it occupies only 2 modules in width. This makes it easy to mount in a distribution box, saving valuable space. The C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts with a delay to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with electric motors or other loads with high starting current. This ensures stable operation of the installation without unnecessary tripping under normal operating conditions.

• A circuit breaker with a rated current of 6A will perfectly protect circuits with moderate current consumption, such as lighting or sockets.
• Thanks to the high short-circuit breaking capacity (Icn) of 10kA at 230V and 400V, the installation is effectively protected against the effects of short circuits.
• Characteristic C provides a delayed response to short-term overloads, which is particularly important for devices equipped with motors.
• Two-pole design allows protection of two phase conductors in the electrical circuit.
• Compact dimensions – only 2 modules wide – make it easy to install even in tight distribution boxes.
• Rated voltage of 400V is a standard for most electrical installations, ensuring device compatibility.
• Protection class IP20 guarantees protection against finger contact and access of solid bodies with a diameter of more than 12.5 mm, increasing safety of use.

Installation and application

The PLSM-C6/2-MW circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a TH35 rail (standard mounting rail in distribution boxes). The cross-section of the connected wires can range from 1 to 25 mm², which ensures compatibility with various types of installation wires. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of EN 60898 standard, confirming its safety and reliability. The possibility of additional equipment allows you to adapt the circuit breaker to specific installation needs. The device operates in a temperature range from -25°C to +75°C and at a frequency of 50-60 Hz, making it a universal solution for various environmental conditions.
