Circuit breaker EATON xPole Home 1P B 25A 6kA AC (model 194823)

Single-pole EATON xPole Home circuit breaker type B, rated 25 A with 6 kA AC breaking capacity, designed for overcurrent protection in single-phase residential installations. The device provides overload and short-circuit interruption for lighting circuits, sockets and small appliances, and is compatible with standard DIN-rail mounting in consumer units. The compact form factor and clear current rating marking make it suitable for typical household distribution boards.

Advantages

The xPole Home 1P B 25A offers selective protection for small loads and general circuits thanks to its type B tripping characteristic, which responds quickly to low-level short-circuit currents while tolerating harmless inrush currents from appliances. With a rated breaking capacity of 6 kA AC it ensures safe disconnection under fault conditions common in residential networks. The product is designed for straightforward DIN-rail installation and reliable mechanical operation over repeated switching cycles.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Overcurrent protection for socket circuits and small household appliances
• Use in single-phase consumer units and compact distribution boards
• Replacement or expansion of residential protection modules

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P) for single-phase circuits
• Tripping characteristic: Type B (suitable for resistive and small inductive loads)
• Rated current: 25 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA AC
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible for standard domestic distribution boards
• Application: overload and short-circuit protection for household circuits

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail inside the consumer unit following local electrical regulations. Connect the line conductor to the input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws and correct polarity for single-phase circuits. Use the device as part of a complete protective scheme together with residual current devices and upstream protection. Verify operation after installation by switching the breaker on and off and checking the circuit under no-load conditions.

Usage recommendations

Choose a breaker with the correct rated current and tripping curve for the specific circuit. For circuits with high inrush currents (motors, certain electronic supplies), consider whether a different tripping characteristic is more appropriate. Ensure all work is carried out by a qualified electrician and that the installation complies with applicable standards and local regulations.
