Automatic switch ETIMAT 6 1P 6KA C-6A circuit breaker 6 A

Automatic switch ETIMAT 6 1P 6KA C-6A is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker designed to protect residential and light-commercial electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits. The device features a C tripping characteristic suitable for general-purpose circuits with moderate inrush currents. With a rated current of 6 A and a breaking capacity of 6 kA, the compact DIN-rail mount body includes a manual toggle for switching and a clear trip indication for easy inspection and replacement.

Advantages

The ETIMAT 6 1P 6KA C-6A provides reliable overcurrent protection in a compact footprint that saves DIN-rail space in distribution boards. The C curve balance offers dependable performance for circuits with motors, lighting and small appliances by tolerating short-term inrush current while still reacting quickly to sustained overloads and short-circuits. The manual toggle and visible trip indicator simplify operation and troubleshooting, and standard terminal connections make installation and replacement straightforward.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Small commercial installations and light-duty circuits
• Protection of lighting circuits and socket outlets
• Circuits with appliances that produce moderate inrush currents (e.g., motors, compressors)

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 6 A
• Tripping characteristic: Type C
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Mounting: DIN-rail (standard width)
• Operation: manual toggle with trip indicator
• Terminal type: screw/clamp (standard distribution board terminals)

How to use

Install the automatic switch on a compatible DIN-rail inside a distribution board following local electrical codes and safety standards. Ensure the supply is disconnected before wiring. Connect the phase conductor to the input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, securing conductors with the appropriate tightening torque for the terminal type. Set the switch to ON using the manual toggle; in the event of an overload or short circuit the device will trip to the OFF position and display trip status. After identifying and correcting the cause of the fault, reset the device by switching the toggle back to ON.

Usage recommendations

Use the ETIMAT 6 1P 6KA C-6A within its rated current and breaking capacity; avoid installing this device on circuits with expected fault currents above 6 kA. Select Type C characteristic for general circuits and for loads with moderate inrush currents. Verify conductor size and torque values according to local wiring regulations and perform testing after installation to confirm correct operation.
