Schelinger A02-G8-1P-B10 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P B 10A 6kA

The Schelinger A02-G8-1P-B10 is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide essential protection for electrical circuits. Designed for AC systems, this device effectively monitors current flow to prevent damage from overloads and short circuits, thereby safeguarding both the electrical infrastructure and the connected appliances in residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers robust performance through its 6kA breaking capacity, ensuring it can handle significant fault currents safely. The B-type tripping characteristic makes it particularly suitable for standard lighting and heating circuits where moderate inrush currents are expected. Its compact single-pole design allows for efficient space utilization within distribution boards, while the durable construction ensures long-term operational reliability and consistent safety standards for your electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting circuits
• Small household appliance power lines
• Commercial office electrical distribution
• Heating system control circuits

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in DC electrical systems. Furthermore, it may not be appropriate for circuits powering large motors or inductive loads with high starting currents, as the B-type tripping curve might lead to nuisance tripping in such applications.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 10A
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• System type: AC

How to use

The circuit breaker should be installed by a qualified electrician onto a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. Ensure that the supply power is disconnected before installation. The device is mounted by snapping it onto the rail and securing the input and output wires into the respective terminals, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10A rated current matches the requirements of your circuit wiring.
• Ensure the B-type characteristic is appropriate for the connected load.
• Confirm compatibility with your existing DIN rail distribution board.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to test the mechanical operation of the switch periodically to ensure it remains functional and responsive.
