Eaton PFL6-16/1N/B/03-A Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection, 1P+N, 16A, 0.3A, Type A

The Eaton PFL6-16/1N/B/03-A is a professional-grade residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO), engineered to provide comprehensive electrical safety in 1P+N systems. This device combines the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device into a single compact unit, effectively detecting and interrupting circuits during overloads, short circuits, and leakage current events. It is designed to maintain high operational reliability in both residential and commercial electrical distribution boards.

Advantages

This RCBO offers a robust solution for modern electrical installations by integrating two critical protection functions into one space-saving module. The Type A sensitivity ensures reliable detection of both alternating and pulsating direct residual currents, which is essential for protecting modern electronic equipment. Its durable construction and precise tripping characteristics contribute to long-term system stability and enhanced safety for connected appliances and users.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building power circuits
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits
• Systems requiring protection against both overcurrent and earth leakage

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring higher breaking capacities or specific environmental ratings beyond standard indoor installation requirements. It is also not intended for use in DC-only electrical systems or circuits where the leakage current characteristics fall outside the Type A classification.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16A
• Residual current sensitivity: 0.3A
• Configuration: 1P+N
• Type: A
• Function: Combined overcurrent and residual current protection

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an appropriate distribution enclosure. Ensure that the supply voltage and load requirements are compatible with the device ratings before finalizing the connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required rated current for your specific circuit
• Ensure the 0.3A sensitivity meets your safety requirements
• Check compatibility with existing DIN rail enclosures
• Confirm the need for Type A protection for your specific load types

Usage recommendations

Regularly test the device using the integrated test button to ensure the mechanical tripping mechanism remains functional and provides ongoing protection for your electrical installation.
