Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA BKN series 1P 4A C characteristic BKN 1P C4A

Electrical installation protection with BKN 1P C4A circuit breaker

The BKN 1P C4A overcurrent circuit breaker is a reliable element protecting electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for mounting on a DIN rail, it provides effective protection in installations with a voltage of 230/400V AC. Its compact size (1 module wide) makes it easy to install even in crowded distribution boards.

### Characteristics and application

The circuit breaker with characteristic C is particularly recommended for protecting circuits with receivers generating inrush currents during start-up, such as motors, transformers or heating devices. Characteristic C allows it to react more slowly to short current surges, which prevents unnecessary tripping, while ensuring rapid intervention in the event of an overload or short circuit. The rated current of 4A makes it ideal for protecting lighting or socket circuits with lower loads.

### Key features and benefits

* **Wide application:** ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and devices generating inrush currents.

* **High efficiency:** ensures reliable protection against overloads and short circuits thanks to a short-circuit strength of 6kA.

* **Compact size:** occupies only 1 module on the DIN rail, making it easy to install in tight spaces.

* **Contact position indicator:** visual information about the status of the circuit breaker (on/off) facilitates diagnostics and maintenance of the installation.

* **Protection class IP20:** provides protection against touching with a finger and solid objects larger than 12mm.

* **Safety and compliance with standards:** the circuit breaker meets the required safety standards, guaranteeing safe operation of the electrical installation.
