Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA, 3P KMB6-B40/3 KANLUX IDEAL TS 23168

Electrical installation protection with KANLUX IDEAL TS circuit breaker

The KMB6-B40/3 circuit breaker from the IDEAL TS series is a reliable element of every electrical installation, providing effective protection against overloads and short circuits. Designed for use in circuits with a rated current of 40A, it is a key component in home and industrial security systems. Its mounting on a TH35 rail is quick and intuitive, which will be appreciated by both professional installers and people who independently care about safety in their homes.

Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with characteristic B reacts quickly to current increase, making it an ideal choice for protecting circuits with devices with high power consumption during start-up – such as electric motors or heating devices. The rated voltage of 230/400V AC allows for universal use in single-phase and three-phase installations. It meets the requirements of PN-EN 60898-1 standard, guaranteeing compliance with applicable safety standards.

• Fast reaction: Characteristic B ensures quick tripping in case of overloads and short circuits.
• Versatility: Can be used in 230/400V AC installations.
• Easy installation: Mounting on a standard TH35 rail facilitates installation and replacement.
• Safety: Protects wires from damage caused by overloads and short circuits.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and reliable operation.

Parameters and construction

The KMB6-B40/3 circuit breaker has 3 modules, which allows for efficient use of space in the switchgear cabinet. The degree of protection IP20 provides protection against accidental contact, but does not protect against the effects of water. The accepted range of wire cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm² provides flexibility when selecting appropriate cables for the installation. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V, and the energy limitation class is 3 – which means the ability to withstand high short-circuit energies (6kA). The rated short-circuit current is as high as 6000A, which confirms its high effectiveness in emergency situations. The device operates in the range of ambient temperatures from 5°C to 40°C, which ensures its stable operation in typical operating conditions. The manufacturer's warranty is 5 years.
