The EATON FAZ-PN-C6/1N is a professional-grade miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection for electrical circuits in residential and commercial settings. This 1P+N device is specifically designed to monitor and safeguard against overloads and short circuits, ensuring the integrity of your electrical infrastructure. With a rated current of 6A and a 6kA breaking capacity, it offers reliable performance in various AC power distribution systems.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high-quality construction and precise tripping characteristics. The C-curve design makes it particularly effective for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting or small motor applications. Its compact 1P+N configuration allows for efficient space utilization in distribution boards while maintaining high safety standards. The device is built for long-term durability, providing consistent protection even in demanding electrical environments.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial lighting circuits
• Small motor control systems
• General purpose AC circuit protection

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in DC electrical systems or high-voltage industrial power grids. It may also be unsuitable for circuits with very high starting currents that require a D-curve characteristic to prevent nuisance tripping.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 6A
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Configuration: 1P+N
• System type: AC

How to use

The EATON FAZ-PN-C6/1N should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within a distribution enclosure. Ensure that the supply cables are securely connected to the terminals and that the wire gauge is appropriate for the 6A rated current. Once installed, the toggle switch allows for easy manual operation to disconnect or reconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A rating matches the load requirements of your circuit.
• Ensure the 6kA breaking capacity is sufficient for your installation's prospective short-circuit current.
• Confirm that the C-curve characteristic is appropriate for the connected equipment.
• Check available space in your distribution board for a 1P+N module.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform a functional test of the tripping mechanism periodically to ensure continued operational safety.
