Circuit breaker 3P EATON xPole Home HN-B32/3 32 A B-characteristic 6 kA AC

The Circuit breaker 3P EATON xPole Home HN-B32/3 32 A B-characteristic 6 kA AC is a three-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for overcurrent protection in residential and light-commercial distribution boards. It provides combined thermal and magnetic tripping to protect conductors and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits. The device is intended for DIN-rail mounting and integrates into standard single-phase or multi-phase electrical installations where coordinated protection and compact size are required.

Advantages

This three-pole breaker offers reliable thermal-magnetic protection with a B tripping characteristic suitable for general-purpose circuits with low inrush currents. Its 32 A rated current supports a range of household and small commercial loads while the 6 kA AC breaking capacity ensures safe interruption of short-circuit currents within typical installation limits. The compact form factor and DIN-rail compatibility make it straightforward to install and replace in standard distribution panels. The device is manufactured to conform with common installation standards, facilitating coordinated protection and predictable performance.

Suitable for

• Overcurrent protection in residential distribution boards
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits with moderate inrush currents
• Small commercial or service panels where three-pole protection is required
• Replacement or retrofit in standard DIN-rail switchboards

Key specifications

• Poles: 3-pole configuration for multi-phase or combined circuit protection
• Rated current: 32 A
• Tripping characteristic: B-type (thermal-magnetic)
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA AC
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible miniature circuit breaker

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board in accordance with local electrical regulations. Ensure supply is switched off before connecting conductors. Connect incoming and outgoing phase conductors to the corresponding terminals and tighten terminal screws to the manufacturer’s recommended torque. Verify that the breaker rating and tripping characteristic are appropriate for the circuit and load. After installation, switch the breaker on and test the circuit under normal conditions; use appropriate test procedures to confirm correct tripping behavior for overload and short-circuit simulations where required by installation rules.

Usage recommendations

Use this breaker for circuits with predominantly resistive or low-inrush inductive loads. Do not exceed the rated current and ensure coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices. Periodically inspect terminal tightness and the breaker for signs of overheating or damage. For installations with high inrush currents or motor loads, consider selecting a different tripping characteristic to prevent nuisance tripping.
