Overcurrent circuit breaker, 6kA series BKN 4P 16A characteristic C BKN 4P C16A

Electrical installation protection with BKN 4P C16A circuit breaker

This four-pole BKN series overcurrent circuit breaker with a rated current of 16A and C characteristic is a reliable protection for your electrical installation. Designed to protect against overloads and short circuits, it meets the requirements of IEC 60898-1 standard, guaranteeing safe use. Its compact dimensions (width 71.2 mm – 17.8 mm per pole) allow for easy mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail.

Characteristics and application

The BKN circuit breaker with C characteristic trips slower with short-term current surges, making it an ideal solution for circuits with receivers generating high inrush currents during start-up – such as motors, transformers or heating devices. It provides effective protection against damage caused by overload or short circuit, protecting both the installation and the devices connected to it. Suitable for operation in circuits with a rated voltage of up to 400V AC.

Construction and parameters

The circuit breaker is equipped with lug terminals allowing the connection of wires with a cross-section of up to 25 mm². The thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism ensures precise and fast reaction in case of a dangerous situation. It has certificates of conformity with various standards (CCC, SABS, SEMKO CB, CE), which confirms its high quality and safety. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity is 6 kA, which ensures effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a serious short circuit.
