Overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 6 2P C16 002143516

Reliable protection of electrical installations

The ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker is a key element of every safe electrical installation. Designed for use in residential buildings, public and industrial facilities, it provides effective protection against the effects of short circuits and overloads. The design and parameters of this circuit breaker guarantee reliable operation and long-term use.

Characteristics and application

The ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker with C characteristic is particularly recommended for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents during start-up – e.g. electric motors, transformers or refrigeration units. The C characteristic allows for momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping, which minimizes the risk of downtime in device operation. The rated current of 16A makes this circuit breaker ideal for protecting lighting, sockets in office rooms or kitchens.

• Overload protection: Protects the circuit against overload – i.e. a situation where the drawn current exceeds the permissible value for a given conductivity.
• Short-circuit protection: Reacts immediately to a short circuit, disconnecting the circuit and preventing damage to the installation and fires.
• Versatility: Suitable for protecting various electrical receivers in different types of facilities.
• Mounting on TH35 rail: Standard mounting on a TH35 rail facilitates installation and replacement of the circuit breaker.

Technical specifications and additional functions

The ETIMAT 6 2p C16 circuit breaker is characterized by high quality workmanship and meets stringent safety standards (IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC 60947-2). The two-pole design provides full protection of the phase and neutral. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity (Icn) is 6kA at 400V and 230V, which guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. Additionally, the circuit breaker has a degree of protection of IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

• Wire cross-section: Possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 mm² to 25 mm², both solid and stranded.
• Operating temperature: Wide operating temperature range (-25°C to +55°C) allows the circuit breaker to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Expandability: Possibility of mounting auxiliary contacts (PS ETIMAT 10) and overcurrent release (DA ETIMAT 10) increases the functionality of the circuit breaker and allows it to be adapted to specific installation needs.
• Contact position indicator: Allows for quick visual control of the circuit breaker status (on/off).
• Sealing: Possibility of sealing the lever in the "On" and "Off" positions prevents unauthorized manipulation of the circuit breaker settings.
