Circuit Breaker EATON 1P B 32A 6kA AC xPole Home HN-B32/1 (MPN 194824)

The EATON xPole Home HN-B32/1 is a single-pole circuit breaker with a B characteristic and a rated current of 32 A, designed for overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial electrical installations. It provides thermal-magnetic tripping to detect and interrupt overloads and short circuits, and it fits standard DIN-rail distribution boards for straightforward mounting and replacement.

Advantages

The device integrates thermal and magnetic protection within a compact single-pole form factor, allowing reliable detection of both gradual overloads and sudden short-circuit currents. Its B characteristic makes it suitable for circuits with mainly resistive loads and moderate inrush currents. With a breaking capacity of 6 kA AC, the breaker complies with common safety requirements for residential distribution and offers a balance of protection and size compatible with standard consumer units.

Suitable for

• Overcurrent protection of individual circuits in homes and apartments
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits with resistive or low-inductive loads
• Use in small commercial or service premises with standard distribution boards

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Tripping characteristic: B-type (thermal-magnetic)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA (AC)
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail
• Application: residential and light commercial circuits

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board, ensuring correct orientation and secure mechanical engagement. Connect the line conductor to the breaker’s input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, following local wiring regulations and ensuring tight terminal connections. After installation, switch the breaker to the ON position and test the protected circuit under controlled conditions. For any modification or fault diagnosis, isolate the supply and follow safe working practices or consult a qualified electrician.

Usage recommendations

Use this B-characteristic 32 A breaker where circuits predominantly serve lighting, sockets, or appliances with low inrush currents. Avoid using it for circuits with high motor or inductive startup currents; in such cases select a breaker with an appropriate characteristic. Periodically inspect connections for tightness and signs of overheating, and replace the device if it shows visible damage or fails to trip correctly.
