Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA series BKN 2P 10A characteristic C BKN 2P C10A

Electrical installation protection with BKN circuit breakers

The BKN series overcurrent circuit breaker is a reliable element protecting electrical installations from the effects of overloads and short circuits. Model 2P C10A, with a rated current of 10A, is designed to protect electrical circuits in residential and commercial buildings. It is characterized by high efficiency and durability, ensuring safe use.

Characteristics and application

BKN circuit breakers with characteristic C are designed to protect circuits where inrush currents occur when switching on receivers, such as motors or transformers. Characteristic C allows for a momentary exceeding of the rated current without unnecessary tripping of the circuit, which is particularly important in the case of devices with high power consumption during start-up. This model, two-pole (2P), ensures disconnection of both phase and neutral, increasing the level of safety.

• Overload protection: Protects the installation from damage caused by excessive load.
• Short-circuit protection: Reacts quickly to a short circuit, cutting off the power supply and minimizing the risk of fire or equipment damage.
• Characteristic C: Ideal for circuits with receivers generating inrush currents when switched on – motors, transformers, etc.
• Two-pole design (2P): Provides complete circuit protection by disconnecting phase and neutral.
• Rated current 10A: Suitable for most standard lighting and socket circuits.
• Breaking capacity 6kA: Guarantees effective interruption of a high-value arc.

Installation and operation

The installation of BKN circuit breakers is simple and intuitive, making it easier for installers. Made of high-quality materials, they ensure long-lasting and trouble-free operation. A wide range of available rated currents and characteristics allows you to match the circuit breaker to specific installation needs. It is important to remember to select the correct rated current value depending on the load protected by the circuit – a value that is too small will cause the circuit breaker to trip frequently, and a value that is too large – insufficient protection.
