Overcurrent circuit breaker RX3 1P C 16A 6000A 419202

Safety and Reliability in Your Installation

This single-pole circuit breaker from Legrand's RX3 series is a key element in protecting electrical installations in residential and commercial buildings. Designed to protect circuits from overload and short circuit, it ensures safe and stable operation of electrical devices. Characteristic C makes it ideal for circuits with devices generating short-term inrush currents, such as motors or transformers – it allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, therefore tolerating the starting of such devices.

Functionality and Installation

The RX3 circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design, taking up only 1 module width, which facilitates installation in electrical distribution boards. Installation is carried out on a standard TH35 rail. With a rated voltage of 230V, it is intended for standard single-phase installations. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA (at 230V and 400V) guarantees effective protection in the event of a serious failure. Made of high-quality temperature-resistant plastic (RAL 7035) and with a black switching lever with the possibility of sealing, it ensures durability and safety of use.

Key Features and Benefits

• Overload and short-circuit protection: Ensures the safety of the electrical installation and connected devices. Protects the circuit against overload and short circuit — like most circuit breakers in this class.
• Characteristic C: Ideal for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents (e.g., motors, transformers).
• Compact dimensions: Occupies only 1 module width, saving space in the distribution board.
• High short-circuit breaking capacity: 6kA at 230V and 400V – effective protection in the event of serious failures.
• Mounting on TH35 rail: Standard mounting simplifies installation and replacement.
• Durable construction: Made of high-quality materials ensuring long-term operation.
• Compliance with standards: Meets the requirements of EN 60898-1 standard, guaranteeing safety and reliability.
• Protection class IP20: Protection against contact with fingers and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.

The RX3 circuit breaker is a solid and reliable solution for every installer and end-user looking for effective protection of their electrical installation. Its versatility and ease of installation make it an ideal choice for both new and modernized installations.
