DC overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 10-DC 1P C20 6kA 002137717

DC overcurrent circuit breaker for protecting installations

The ETIMAT 10-DC circuit breaker is a compact device used to protect direct current (DC) circuits from overloads and short circuits. Designed for both domestic and industrial applications, it provides reliable operation and safety. Its modular design simplifies installation in distribution boards, and the C characteristic provides optimal protection for devices with high inrush currents.

Characteristics and application

The ETIMAT 10-DC circuit breaker with a C characteristic is particularly recommended for protecting circuits powering devices generating short-term current surges, such as motors, transformers or switch-mode power supplies. The C characteristic allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker, which minimizes the risk of false alarms and downtime. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective protection of the installation in the event of serious disturbances.

This circuit breaker is characterized by a rated current of 20A, making it suitable for most standard DC circuits. It operates at a rated voltage of 220V and has a C characteristic, ideal for protecting circuits with devices generating high inrush currents. Its short-circuit breaking capacity is 6kA, providing effective protection against the effects of short circuits. The compact width of 1 module saves space in the distribution board. The IP20 degree of protection protects against finger contact and solid objects larger than 12mm, and the operating temperature range from -25°C to +55°C allows its use in various environmental conditions. Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-2 confirms its safety and reliability.

This circuit breaker is used in photovoltaic installations, emergency power systems, electric vehicle chargers and other applications requiring reliable DC circuit protection. Its compact dimensions and easy installation make it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end users.
