Circuit breaker 3P, 16kA, thermal-magnetic tripping (thermal adjustment) EB2S 160/3LA 160A 3p 004671885

Power switch – reliable protection for electrical installations

This three-pole power switch with a rated current of 160A is a key element of every safe and efficient electrical installation. Designed to protect against overloads and short circuits, it ensures stable circuit operation and minimizes the risk of failure. Its robust construction and high short-circuit breaking capacity (16kA) guarantee long-lasting and trouble-free operation in demanding conditions.

Characteristics and application

The EB2S 160/3LA switch features thermal adjustment, allowing precise adaptation to the specific needs of the installation. This allows the device to react quickly to overloads, protecting sensitive equipment from damage while allowing for short-term current surges, e.g. when starting motors. It is ideal for protecting circuits powering devices with high power consumption, such as furnaces, electric heaters or industrial motors. TH rail mounting simplifies integration with existing electrical infrastructure.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity (16kA): effectively interrupts the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of damage to equipment and fire.
• Thermal adjustment (100.8…160A): allows precise adjustment to the load characteristics and protection against overloads.
• Three-pole design: provides comprehensive protection for three-phase electrical circuits.
• TH rail mounting: facilitates quick and safe mounting in electrical switchboards.
• Trip indicator: informs about the operation of the switch, facilitating the location of the problem in the installation.
• Screw connection: ensures a secure and durable connection of power cables.
• Protection degree IP20: protects against accidental contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12mm – standard protection for devices mounted inside switchboards.
• Solid construction of a fixed device: ensures stable operation and long life even in difficult working conditions.

Construction and parameters

The switch is designed with simplicity of installation and reliability in mind. The lever allows easy switching of the switch status, and screw connections ensure a secure electrical contact. The rated continuous current of 160A allows for safe power supply of devices with high power consumption, and the range of short-circuit release setting (1600…1600A) provides effective protection against sudden current surges. The lack of a built-in motor drive and auxiliary contacts simplifies the construction and increases the reliability of the device.
