Eaton PF6-25/2/01 Residual Current Circuit Breaker 2P 25A 0.1A Type AC

The Eaton PF6-25/2/01 is a high-quality 2-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) engineered to provide essential electrical safety in various environments. This device is designed to detect and interrupt leakage currents, thereby protecting people and equipment from potential electrical hazards. With a rated current of 25A and a sensitivity of 0.1A, it offers a reliable solution for maintaining circuit integrity in both residential and commercial electrical systems.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this Eaton RCCB is its robust construction and dependable performance in monitoring electrical circuits. By utilizing Type AC technology, it effectively responds to sinusoidal alternating residual currents, which is a standard requirement for many general-purpose electrical installations. Its compact 2-pole design allows for easy integration into standard distribution boards, ensuring that safety measures are implemented without requiring excessive space. The device is built to meet stringent safety standards, providing peace of mind through consistent operation and durability.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building electrical systems
• Protection of general-purpose circuits
• Preventing electrical shock in standard AC installations

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed specifically for Type AC applications and may not be suitable for circuits containing electronic equipment that generates pulsating DC residual currents, such as certain types of variable speed drives or advanced power supplies. In such cases, a Type A or Type B RCCB would be required to ensure proper detection and protection.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 25A
• Rated residual operating current: 0.1A
• Type: AC

How to use

The Eaton PF6-25/2/01 must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is typically mounted on a standard DIN rail within a consumer unit or distribution board. Once installed, the device should be connected to the incoming supply and the outgoing circuit wiring. It is recommended to perform a functional test using the integrated test button periodically to ensure the mechanism remains operational.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the rated current of 25A is sufficient for your circuit load.
• Ensure the 0.1A sensitivity meets the specific safety requirements of your installation.
• Confirm that the Type AC classification is appropriate for the equipment connected to the circuit.
• Check the available space in your distribution board for a 2-pole device.

Usage recommendations

Regular maintenance and testing are essential for the continued safety of your electrical installation. It is advised to press the test button at least every six months to verify that the tripping mechanism functions correctly.
