Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA series BKN 3P 16A B characteristic BKN 3P B16A

Three-pole circuit breaker BKN 3P B16A is a reliable protection for electrical installations, designed for both professional and home use. The device protects circuits against overload and short circuit, ensuring safe operation. Its compact dimensions – occupies 3 modules on a DIN rail – facilitate installation in electrical switchboards.

Characteristics and application

The BKN series circuit breaker is characterized by a B characteristic, which means it is ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and other devices with a low inrush current. The B characteristic allows it to react quickly to overloads, but at the same time tolerates short-term current surges during device start-up. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity at 6kA guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious failure. The rated voltage of 400V AC makes the circuit breaker compatible with most standard electrical installations.

Construction and mounting

The BKN 3P B16A circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, ensuring its durability and reliability. Installation is done on a standard DIN rail, which simplifies and speeds up installation. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against touching fingers and solid objects larger than 12mm. The three-pole design allows protection of the entire phase circuit, providing comprehensive protection. A width of 3 modules allows for efficient use of space in the switchboard.
