Eaton PFL6-10/1N/B/03 Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection, 1P+N, 10A, 0.3A, Type AC

The Eaton PFL6-10/1N/B/03 is a high-quality residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection, commonly known as an RCBO. This compact device combines the functions of a miniature circuit breaker and a residual current device into a single unit, designed for 1P+N electrical systems. It is engineered to provide comprehensive protection for electrical circuits by monitoring for both overcurrent conditions and earth leakage currents, thereby enhancing the safety of residential and commercial electrical installations.

Advantages

This RCBO offers a space-saving solution for modern distribution boards by integrating two essential protective functions into one housing. It provides reliable detection of AC residual currents and ensures rapid disconnection in the event of a fault, protecting both the electrical infrastructure and the users. The robust design from Eaton guarantees long-term operational reliability and consistent performance under standard operating conditions, making it an essential component for maintaining electrical safety standards.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building electrical systems
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits
• General purpose electrical installations requiring earth leakage and overcurrent protection

This device is not intended for use in DC-sensitive applications or circuits requiring high-frequency leakage detection, as it is specifically designed for Type AC residual currents. It may also be unsuitable for industrial environments with high levels of harmonic distortion or specific surge current requirements that exceed the standard protection profile of this unit.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 10A
• Residual operating current: 0.3A
• Type: AC
• Poles: 1P+N
• Function: Combined overcurrent and earth leakage protection

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 load requirements are compatible with the device ratings before connection. Once installed, the integrated test button should be used periodically to verify the mechanical functionality of the tripping mechanism.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required rated current for your specific circuit
• Ensure the residual current rating meets your safety requirements
• Check compatibility with existing DIN rail enclosures
• Confirm the need for Type AC protection versus other types

Regular maintenance and testing of the RCBO using the built-in test button are recommended to ensure the device remains in optimal working condition throughout its service life.
