Eaton PF6-25/2/05 Residual Current Circuit Breaker 2P 25A 0.5A Type AC

The Eaton PF6-25/2/05 is a high-quality 2-pole residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) engineered to provide essential electrical safety in both residential and commercial environments. This device is designed to monitor electrical circuits for leakage currents and automatically disconnect the power supply if a fault is detected, thereby protecting users from electric shock and preventing potential fire hazards caused by insulation failures.

Advantages

This residual current circuit breaker offers robust performance and high reliability for standard electrical installations. Its Type AC technology ensures effective detection of sinusoidal alternating residual currents, making it a dependable choice for general-purpose applications. The compact design allows for easy integration into standard distribution boards, while the durable construction ensures long-term operational stability and consistent protection for connected electrical circuits.

Suitable for

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

This device may not be suitable for installations where DC components or high-frequency leakage currents are present, as Type AC breakers are specifically designed for sinusoidal AC currents. It is also not intended for use in circuits requiring high-speed protection against pulsating DC residual currents, which would necessitate a Type A or Type B device.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 25A
• Rated residual operating current: 0.5A
• Residual current type: AC

Installation of the Eaton PF6-25/2/05 should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is mounted onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical enclosure. Once installed, the circuit breaker should be integrated into the wiring system such that all live conductors pass through the device to ensure accurate leakage detection.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the rated current of 25A matches the requirements of your circuit
• Ensure the 0.5A sensitivity is appropriate for your specific safety application
• Check compatibility with your existing distribution board and DIN rail system
• Confirm that the electrical load does not exceed the rated capacity of the breaker

Regularly test the functionality of the residual current circuit breaker using the integrated test button at least every six months to ensure the mechanical tripping mechanism remains operational.
