Eaton FAZ-C1/1 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, Type C, 1A

The Eaton FAZ-C1/1 is a professional-grade 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection against overcurrent and short-circuit conditions in electrical distribution systems. Designed for precision and reliability, this device serves as a critical component in maintaining the integrity of electrical circuits by automatically interrupting power flow during fault events, thereby preventing damage to connected equipment and infrastructure.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional operational reliability and long-term durability, making it a dependable choice for demanding electrical environments. Its Type C tripping characteristic allows for a balanced response to current surges, ensuring that the system remains stable during normal operation while reacting swiftly to genuine electrical faults. The compact 1-pole design facilitates efficient installation in standard distribution boards, optimizing space without compromising on safety or performance standards.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical installations
• Commercial building power distribution
• Protection of control circuits
• Lighting systems with moderate inrush currents

This device may not be suitable for residential circuits requiring specific sensitivity levels or for applications where a different tripping characteristic, such as Type B or D, is mandated by the specific load profile or local electrical regulations. It is also not intended for use in environments exceeding its rated voltage or current capacity.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Tripping characteristic: Type C
• Rated current: 1 A
• Mounting type: DIN rail
• Protection class: IP20

To install the Eaton FAZ-C1/1, ensure the power supply is completely disconnected before mounting the device onto a standard DIN rail within the distribution board. Secure the input and output cables firmly into the terminals, ensuring that the wire cross-section is appropriate for the rated current. Once installed, verify all connections for tightness and switch the lever to the ON position to energize the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1A rated current matches your specific circuit load requirements.
• Ensure the Type C characteristic is appropriate for the connected equipment.
• Check available space on the DIN rail within your distribution enclosure.
• Confirm compatibility with local electrical safety standards and regulations.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of physical damage or overheating. It is recommended to perform periodic testing of the switching mechanism to ensure continued operational readiness. If the breaker trips, investigate the cause of the fault before resetting the device.
