Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA series BKN 2P 6A B characteristic BKN 2P B6A

Protection of installations and devices – circuit breaker BKN 2P B6A

This two-pole circuit breaker from the BKN series, with a rated current of 6A and B characteristic, is a reliable protection for your electrical installation. Designed to protect circuits against overload and short circuit, it performs well in both domestic and professional applications. Its compact size allows for easy mounting on a DIN rail.

Characteristics and application

The BKN 2P B6A circuit breaker is characterized by a B characteristic, which means it is ideal for protecting circuits with inductive or resistive loads. This characteristic provides a faster response to current increase than in the case of type C circuit breakers, which is particularly important when protecting lighting, socket outlets and circuits powering household appliances. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 6kA guarantees effective protection even in the event of high overvoltages.

Construction and mounting

The circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a DIN rail, which simplifies and speeds up installation. It has a visual indicator of contact position, which allows for a quick assessment of the device's status. The housing made of high-quality materials ensures durability and resistance to mechanical damage. The cross-section of the conductors connected to the circuit breaker ranges from 1 to 25 mm², which provides great flexibility in choosing conductors. The device operates in a temperature range from -5°C to 40°C, which allows it to be used in various environmental conditions. The circuit breaker meets IP20 standards, which means protection against touching with a finger and against the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
