Circuit breaker EATON xPole Home HN-C10/1 1P C 10A 6kA AC (MPN 194829)

EATON xPole Home HN-C10/1 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker with a C tripping characteristic rated for 10 amps and a breaking capacity of 6 kA AC. It is designed to provide overload and short-circuit protection in residential and light-commercial distribution boards, offering reliable isolation of circuits for lighting, socket outlets and small appliances. The compact 1P form factor supports standard DIN-rail mounting and integration into modular consumer units.

Advantages

The device combines a defined thermal-magnetic trip curve (C characteristic) with a 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity to balance sensitivity to inrush currents and protection against faults. Its single-pole construction reduces space requirements in distribution boards while maintaining clear circuit separation. Eaton xPole Home breakers are manufactured to recognized safety standards and deliver repeatable tripping performance for household electrical circuits.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Protection of socket outlet circuits and small domestic appliances
• Use in small commercial or office distribution boards with similar load profiles

Key specifications

• Pole count: single-pole (1P)
• Tripping characteristic: C curve (thermal-magnetic)
• Rated current: 10 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA (AC)
• Mounting: DIN-rail, modular housing compatible with consumer units
• Application: overload and short-circuit protection for lighting, sockets and small appliances

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard 35 mm DIN rail inside the distribution board, ensuring the supply and load conductors are connected to the correct terminals and tightened to the manufacturer’s specified torque. Ensure the circuit is de-energized during installation and that the breaker matches the panel’s neutral and earth arrangements. After installation, switch the breaker to the ON position to restore power, and verify the protected circuit functions correctly. In the event of a trip, identify and rectify the fault before resetting the breaker.

Usage recommendations

Use this 10 A C-characteristic breaker for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting with LED drivers or motor-starting devices of small appliances; avoid using it where inrush currents or fault current requirements exceed the specified ratings. Regularly inspect connections and periodically test operation as part of routine electrical maintenance.
