Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, 1P KMB6-C6/1 KANLUX IDEAL TS 23157

Safety and electrical installation protection

This single-pole circuit breaker KMB6-C6/1 by KANLUX IDEAL TS is a basic element of every safe electrical installation. It serves to protect wires against the effects of overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage and fires. Its compact design – it occupies only one module on the TH35 rail – allows for efficient use of space in the distribution box.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with characteristic C is particularly recommended for circuits with devices generating surge currents during start-up, such as motors or transformers. Characteristic C allows it to react more slowly to short current spikes, so it does not switch off unnecessarily during normal operation of these devices, while effectively protecting against overloads and short circuits. The rated current of 6A makes it ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits or devices with low power consumption.

Installation and technical parameters

Installation is done on a standard TH35 rail, which simplifies and speeds up the installation. The circuit breaker meets the requirements of the PN-EN 60898-1 standard, which guarantees its reliability and safety of use. The degree of protection IP20 provides protection against finger contact, but does not protect against the effects of water or dust – therefore, the circuit breaker should be mounted in dry and closed rooms.

The circuit breaker is characterized by:

• Rated current of 6A, ideal for protecting circuits with lower load.
• Rated voltage of 230/400V AC, ensuring compatibility with most electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings.
• Rated short-circuit strength of 6kA, guaranteeing effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit.
• Operating temperature range from 5°C to 40°C, allowing use in typical ambient conditions.
• Possibility of connecting wires with a cross-section from 1 mm² to 25 mm², giving great flexibility during installation.
• Energy limitation class 3, providing adequate protection in the event of an electric arc.
