Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA BKN series 4P 6A characteristic C BKN 4P C6A

Electrical installation protection with BKN 4P C6A circuit breaker

This four-pole circuit breaker from the BKN series, with a rated current of 6A and C characteristic, is a reliable protective element in any electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overloads and short circuits, it ensures safe operation and long-term system stability.

Construction and application

The BKN 4P C6A circuit breaker is designed to protect circuits with higher impedance, where inrush currents may occur when switching on receivers. The C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts more slowly to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with induction motors or transformers. This minimizes the risk of unnecessary tripping of the circuit during normal operation of the devices. The four-pole construction allows for full protection in three-phase systems as well as single- and two-phase systems with a neutral wire.

Advantages and benefits

• Overload protection: Protects the circuit from damage caused by excessive current draw – like most circuit breakers of this type.
• Short-circuit protection: Reacts quickly to sudden current surges, cutting off the power and minimizing the risk of fire or equipment damage.
• C characteristic: Ideal for circuits with inductive loads (motors, transformers) where inrush currents occur during start-up. This avoids unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker during normal operation of the devices.
• Four-pole construction: Provides comprehensive protection in various electrical installation configurations – three-phase, single-phase with neutral wire or two-phase.
• High reliability: Made of high-quality materials, guarantees long-lasting and trouble-free operation.
• Mounting on TH35 rail: Enables quick and easy mounting in electrical distribution boards.

For installers – quick installation and reliable operation

The BKN 4P C6A circuit breaker has been designed with the convenience of installers in mind. Mounting on a standard TH35 rail is simple and intuitive, and the compact dimensions allow for optimal use of space in the distribution board. The solid construction ensures a secure electrical connection and mechanical stability. This ensures that the installation runs smoothly and the end result is aesthetic and professional.
