EATON PL6-C4/1 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1-Pole 4A 6kA

The EATON PL6-C4/1 is a professional-grade 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits. Designed for both residential and commercial applications, this device effectively monitors current flow to prevent damage from overloads and short circuits. Its robust construction and reliable performance make it an essential component for modern electrical distribution boards, ensuring safety and operational stability for connected equipment.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers high operational reliability and consistent performance under standard electrical loads. The C-characteristic tripping curve is specifically optimized for applications with moderate inrush currents, providing a balanced approach to circuit protection. Its compact design allows for efficient space utilization within distribution enclosures, while the high-quality materials ensure long-term durability and resistance to environmental factors common in electrical installations.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting and power circuits
• Small commercial electrical distribution systems
• Protection of control circuits
• General electrical infrastructure requiring 4A current limitation

This device may not be suitable for industrial applications requiring high-frequency switching or environments with extreme temperature fluctuations outside the specified operating range. It is also not intended for use in circuits where the expected fault current exceeds the 6kA breaking capacity, as this would compromise the safety and integrity of the electrical system.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 4A
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Mounting type: DIN rail

The device is installed by mounting it onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before installation. Connect the incoming line to the top terminal and the outgoing load wire to the bottom terminal, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4A rated current matches the requirements of your specific circuit
• Ensure the 6kA breaking capacity is sufficient for your electrical installation's potential fault levels
• Confirm that the C-characteristic is appropriate for the connected load types
• Check available space on the DIN rail within your distribution board

Usage recommendations: Always consult with a qualified electrician for the installation and selection of circuit breakers to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards. Regularly inspect the device for signs of wear or damage to maintain optimal system protection.
