• Tripping characteristic: type C (designed for moderate inrush)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA (AC)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible for distribution boards
• Application: AC single-phase circuit protection

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the electrical distribution board following local electrical codes and Eaton installation instructions. Connect the incoming phase conductor to the breaker’s line terminal and the load conductor to the load terminal, ensuring tightened terminals to the recommended torque. Use appropriate cable cross-sections and protective earth and neutral arrangements per installation requirements. After installation, verify correct operation by switching the breaker on and performing functional checks on the protected circuit.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 32 A type C breaker where coordinated protection against overloads and short circuits is required, especially on circuits with moderate inrush currents such as small motors or fluorescent lighting. Ensure overall system coordination by verifying upstream and downstream protective device ratings and observe local wiring regulations during installation.
