Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA BKN series 1P 20A characteristic C BKN 1P C20A

Electrical installation protection with BKN 1P C20A circuit breaker

The BKN 1P C20A overcurrent circuit breaker is a protective element that protects electrical circuits from overload and short circuit. It is a key component in any electrical installation, ensuring safe operation and minimizing the risk of failure. Manufactured by LS Electric, this single-pole circuit breaker with C characteristic is perfect for protecting lighting circuits, socket outlets and resistive devices.

Characteristics and application

BKN series circuit breakers are characterized by reliability and durability. C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts with a slight delay to the increase in current – this is particularly important when protecting circuits with devices generating surge currents during start-up (e.g. motors, transformers). This avoids unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker during normal operation of the devices.

This specific model, BKN 1P C20A, is designed to operate in installations with a rated voltage of 230V AC and a rated current of 20A. Its compact size makes it easy to mount in electrical distribution boards, and the modular design allows for easy adaptation to individual needs.

Advantages and benefits

• Overload protection: Protects the electrical installation from damage caused by excessive current draw.
• Short-circuit protection: Immediately interrupts the circuit in the event of a short circuit, minimizing the risk of fire and equipment damage.
• C characteristic: Ideal for protecting circuits with devices generating surge currents during start-up.
• Modular design: Allows for easy mounting and dismantling in the distribution board.
• Reliability and durability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Wide range of applications: Suitable for both domestic and commercial installations.
• Compact dimensions: Facilitate mounting even in tight distribution boards.

With this circuit breaker, you can be sure that your electrical installation is safe and reliable. It is an investment in peace of mind and property protection.
