Eaton PLSM-C25-MW Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P 25A C-Curve 10kA

The Eaton PLSM-C25-MW is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection for electrical circuits in both residential and commercial environments. This device is specifically designed to safeguard wiring and connected equipment by automatically interrupting the power supply in the event of an overload or short circuit, thereby preventing potential electrical hazards.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional reliability and durability, ensuring consistent performance in demanding AC power systems. Its 10kA breaking capacity provides a high level of safety, making it suitable for installations where higher fault currents might occur. The C-curve tripping characteristic is optimized for standard applications, offering a balanced response to both moderate overloads and instantaneous short-circuit currents, which helps to minimize nuisance tripping while maintaining effective protection.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office building power circuits
• Protection of lighting and general-purpose socket outlets
• Small industrial machinery and equipment circuits

This device may not be suitable for applications requiring specific tripping characteristics other than the C-curve, such as those involving high inrush currents like large motors or transformers, where a D-curve breaker might be necessary. It is also intended for AC systems and should not be used in DC installations unless explicitly rated for such use.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 25A
• Number of poles: 1P
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• Voltage type: AC

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution enclosure. Ensure that the supply voltage and frequency match the specifications of the breaker before connection. Once mounted, verify that the cable connections are secure and tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque settings to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 25A current rating matches the requirements of your circuit load
• Ensure the 10kA breaking capacity is sufficient for your electrical installation's prospective fault current
• Confirm that the single-pole configuration is appropriate for your specific circuit design
• Check compatibility with your existing DIN rail distribution board

For optimal safety and longevity, regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to test the functionality of the breaker periodically to ensure it remains operational and capable of protecting your electrical system effectively.
