Circuit breaker EATON HN-C6/1 6kA 1-pole (MPN 194828)

EATON HN-C6/1 is a 1-pole overcurrent circuit breaker with a 6 kA breaking capacity designed for protection of single-phase electrical circuits. It is intended for installation on standard DIN rails in residential and light commercial distribution boards. The device provides overload and short-circuit protection, enabling selective tripping and safeguarding connected equipment in single-phase lines.

Advantages

The single-pole design saves space in distribution boards while maintaining reliable protection for phase conductors. With a rated breaking capacity of 6 kA, the breaker interrupts fault currents quickly to limit damage to wiring and connected devices. Its form factor and DIN-rail compatibility allow simple mounting and replacement in common electrical panels. The device is suitable for coordinated protection schemes where selective tripping and clear fault discrimination are important.

Suitable for

• Residential single-phase circuit protection
• Light commercial distribution boards
• Protection of lighting and small appliance circuits
• Selective tripping in coordinated protection systems

Key specifications

• Poles: 1-pole
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Tripping characteristic: type C (suitable for moderate inrush currents)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible
• Application: single-phase branch circuit protection

How to use

Install the breaker onto a standard DIN rail in the distribution board according to local electrical regulations and wiring diagrams. Connect the phase conductor to the input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Verify that the breaker rating and tripping characteristic match circuit requirements before energizing. Test the circuit after installation and label the breaker for easy identification.

Usage recommendations

Use this breaker as part of a coordinated protection scheme, matching upstream and downstream protective devices for selective operation. Perform periodic visual inspections and test operations according to local standards; replace the device if it shows signs of mechanical damage, corrosion, or if it fails testing.
