Overcurrent circuit breaker ETIMAT 6 3p B40 002115520

Overcurrent circuit breakers ETIMAT 6 are reliable and proven protection for electrical installations, used in both residential buildings and public and industrial facilities. Their main task is to protect electrical circuits from the effects of short circuits and overloads, ensuring safety and installation durability. The construction based on proven technology guarantees reliable operation in various working conditions.

Characteristics and application

The ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker with B40 characteristic is a three-pole device with a rated current of 40A, designed to operate in networks with a voltage of 400V (230/400V). The B characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts quickly to a short circuit, but allows for a short-term exceeding of the rated current without tripping, which is important when starting devices with electric motors or other loads with a high inrush current. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 6kA at 400V and 230V, which ensures effective protection in the event of a failure. The width of the device, 3 modules, facilitates mounting in electrical switchboards.

Construction and user features

The construction of the ETIMAT 6 circuit breaker has been designed with ease of installation and operation in mind. The possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility when selecting appropriate cables. The device has a degree of protection IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The circuit breaker can operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures (-25°C to +55°C), making it suitable for use in various climatic conditions. Additionally, the possibility of mounting auxiliary contacts and an overcurrent release expands the functionality of the device and allows it to be adapted to the specific needs of the installation. The contact position indicator and the possibility of sealing the lever increase safety.
