Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA BKN series 1P 3A characteristic C BKN 1P C3A

Electrical installation protection with BKN 1P C3A circuit breaker

This single-pole circuit breaker from the BKN series with a rated current of 3A and C characteristic is a reliable safety element in any electrical installation. It provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, protecting both devices and cables. It is a key component for the safety and proper functioning of the electrical system in residential, commercial and industrial buildings.

Characteristics and application

The BKN 1P C3A circuit breaker with C characteristic is particularly recommended for protecting circuits with receivers generating inrush currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or refrigeration units. The C characteristic allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, which prevents unnecessary tripping under normal operating conditions of these devices. This ensures the stability of the installation and minimizes the risk of downtime.

• Rated current: 3A – ideal for circuits with lower power consumption.
• Characteristic C: provides protection against overloads and short circuits, and also allows for starting devices with high starting current.
• Breaking capacity: 6kA – guarantees safe disconnection of the circuit in the event of a short circuit.
• Number of poles: 1P (single-pole) – designed to protect a single circuit.

Installation and reliability

BKN circuit breakers are characterized by a solid construction and easy installation on a TH-35 rail. A wide range of operating voltages and high quality of workmanship ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation. Installation is intuitive for both experienced installers and people performing electrical work occasionally. It is important to select the circuit breaker correctly for the protected circuit to ensure optimal protection and avoid unnecessary tripping.
