Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, 1P KMB6-B20/1 KANLUX IDEAL TS 23142

Protection of electrical installations and devices

This single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker KANLUX IDEAL KMB6-B20/1 is a key element of every safe electrical installation. Its task is to protect wires and connected devices against the effects of overloads and short circuits, ensuring continuous operation and minimizing the risk of failure. Mounting on a standard TH35 rail makes it easy to integrate with the existing distribution system.

Characteristics and application

A circuit breaker with B characteristic means that it reacts quickly to an increase in current, but is more tolerant to short-term surges, typical for starting motors or other devices with high inrush current. The rated current of 20A makes it ideal for protecting circuits with medium loads, such as lighting, sockets in residential premises or small electrical appliances. The rated voltage of 230/400V AC allows it to be used in both single-phase and two-phase installations.

Construction and parameters for professionals

The circuit breaker has been designed with ease of installation and reliability in mind. Its compact design – it occupies only 1 module – allows for optimal use of space in the switchgear cabinet. Energy limitation class 3 provides adequate protection in the event of a short circuit. The rated short-circuit current at 6kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. The degree of protection IP20 protects against accidental contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The wire cross-section range from 1 to 25 mm² ensures compatibility with various types of installations. The PN-EN 60898-1 standard confirms compliance with European safety standards.
