Eaton xPole Home HN-B16/2 Miniature Circuit Breaker 2P 16A B-Curve 6kA

The Eaton xPole Home HN-B16/2 is a high-quality 2-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits in residential and light commercial environments. This device is designed to monitor current flow and automatically disconnect the power supply in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby safeguarding your wiring and connected appliances from potential damage or fire hazards.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers robust performance through its B-type tripping characteristic, which is specifically optimized for standard household loads. Its 6kA breaking capacity ensures that the device can safely interrupt fault currents, providing a reliable safety margin for modern electrical installations. The compact design allows for efficient use of space within distribution boards, while the durable construction ensures long-term operational stability and consistent protection for your electrical infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Protection of lighting circuits
• General purpose power outlets
• Small commercial office installations

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring higher breaking capacities or specific tripping characteristics for large motor starting currents. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme temperatures or high levels of corrosive substances without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16A
• Number of poles: 2
• Tripping characteristic: B-curve
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Mounting type: DIN rail

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within a consumer unit or distribution board. Ensure that the supply voltage is disconnected before beginning the installation process and verify that all terminal connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 16A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the B-curve characteristic is appropriate for your connected loads
• Confirm compatibility with your existing DIN rail distribution board
• Check that the 2-pole configuration meets your circuit wiring needs

Usage recommendations: Regularly inspect the distribution board for any signs of heat damage or loose connections. It is recommended to test the functionality of the circuit breaker periodically to ensure it remains in optimal working condition.
