## Summary description

The Eaton PL6-C16/3 is a high-quality 3-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in electrical installations. Featuring a 16A rated current and C-type tripping characteristic, it offers a 6kA breaking capacity. This device is ideal for protecting industrial and residential circuits, ensuring safety and operational stability in various power distribution systems.

## Long description

The Eaton PL6-C16/3 is a professional-grade 3-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection against overcurrent and short-circuit events in electrical distribution systems. This device is designed to maintain high operational standards, ensuring that residential and industrial circuits remain safe from electrical faults. With its precise engineering, it effectively interrupts power flow when dangerous conditions are detected, preventing damage to connected equipment and wiring.
Advantages
This circuit breaker stands out due to its reliable performance and high-quality construction, which is characteristic of Eaton electrical components. The C-type tripping characteristic provides a balanced response to current surges, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where moderate inrush currents are expected. Its 6kA breaking capacity ensures that it can handle significant fault currents, providing a high level of safety for your electrical infrastructure. The 3-pole design allows for the simultaneous disconnection of three phases, which is essential for the protection of three-phase power systems.
Suitable for
Protection of three-phase electrical circuits in residential buildings
Industrial power distribution panels
Commercial electrical installations
Safeguarding motors and lighting systems with moderate inrush currents
This device may not be suitable for applications requiring a different tripping characteristic, such as B-type for sensitive electronic equipment or D-type for motors with very high starting currents. It is also not intended for use in DC circuits unless specifically rated for such applications, and it should not be used in environments that exceed its specified operating temperature or environmental protection ratings.
Key specifications
Number of poles: 3
Rated current: 16A
Tripping characteristic: C
Breaking capacity: 6kA
Mounting type: DIN rail
To install the Eaton PL6-C16/3, ensure that the main power supply is disconnected. The device is designed for standard DIN rail mounting within a distribution board. Secure the breaker firmly onto the rail and connect the supply and load cables to the appropriate terminals, ensuring that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, verify the connections before restoring power.
What to consider before purchase
Verify that the 16A current rating matches your circuit requirements
Ensure the 3-pole configuration is compatible with your electrical system
Check that the C-characteristic is appropriate for your specific load type
Confirm that the 6kA breaking capacity meets local safety regulations
For optimal safety and longevity, it is recommended that the installation be performed by a qualified electrician. Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear or damage and test the system periodically to ensure the protection mechanism remains functional.
