Eaton CLS6-C16 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, 16A, 230/400V

The Eaton CLS6-C16 is a professional-grade 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits. Designed to handle a rated current of 16A and compatible with 230/400V electrical systems, this device serves as a critical safety component in both residential and commercial power distribution networks. It effectively detects and interrupts electrical faults, safeguarding wiring and connected equipment from the risks associated with short circuits and overloads.

Advantages

This miniature circuit breaker stands out due to its robust construction and high operational reliability. It is designed to withstand the rigors of daily electrical load management while maintaining consistent performance over an extended service life. The device features a compact design that facilitates easy installation in standard distribution boards, ensuring efficient use of space. By providing precise tripping characteristics, it helps prevent damage to electrical infrastructure and enhances overall system safety.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office building power circuits
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits
• General electrical installations requiring 16A protection

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring high-breaking capacity or specialized protection characteristics beyond standard C-curve performance. It is also not intended for use in environments with extreme moisture or corrosive atmospheres without appropriate protective enclosures.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 16A
• Rated voltage: 230/400V
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Mounting type: DIN rail

The circuit breaker should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution panel. Once installed, the toggle switch allows for manual control of the circuit, and the device will automatically trip to the off position in the event of an electrical fault. After the fault has been cleared, the breaker can be manually reset by moving the toggle back to the on position.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 16A rating matches the requirements of your circuit
• Verify that the C-curve characteristic is appropriate for your load type
• Check compatibility with your existing distribution board layout
• Confirm that the voltage rating meets your system requirements

Usage recommendations

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 in good working order. Do not attempt to bypass or modify the device, as this compromises electrical safety.
