Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA BKN series 2P 16A characteristic C BKN 2P C16A

Protection of electrical installations and devices

The BKN series overcurrent circuit breaker is a reliable element protecting electrical circuits in residential and commercial buildings. The 2P model with a rated current of 16A and characteristic C provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation and connected devices. The two-pole (2P) design allows disconnection of both phase and neutral, which increases safety during maintenance or repairs.

Characteristics and application

The C characteristic of the circuit breaker means that it is designed to protect circuits with devices generating inrush currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or heating devices. This allows avoiding unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker during normal operation of these devices, while ensuring a quick response in the event of a real threat. The short-circuit current of 6kA means the circuit breaker's ability to safely interrupt the circuit in the event of a short circuit with a value of up to 6000 amps.

Construction and mounting

The BKN circuit breaker is characterized by a compact design, which facilitates its installation in electrical switchboards. Mounting is done on a DIN rail, which is standard in most electrical installations. The two-pole design ensures complete circuit isolation after switching off, which increases safety during maintenance work. These circuit breakers are compatible with a wide range of additional accessories, allowing for the expansion of the security system's functionality.
