Circuit Breaker (1P) electro base ETIMAT 6 6 kA B-13A

electro base Circuit Breaker (1P) ETIMAT 6 B-13A is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in residential and light commercial electrical installations. The device has a B tripping characteristic and a rated current of 13 A, providing protection for wiring, sockets and small branch circuits. Its compact form factor and standard DIN-rail mounting make it suitable for distribution boards and consumer units where space efficiency and reliable protection are required.

Advantages

The B-curve trip characteristic offers fast response to moderate short-circuits while allowing temporary inrush currents from motors or lighting without nuisance tripping. A rated breaking capacity of 6 kA ensures safe interruption of short-circuit currents typical for domestic and small commercial networks. The single-pole design simplifies installation for circuits that require only phase protection and reduces overall device width in the distribution board.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits and small power outlets
• Residential distribution boards and apartments
• Small commercial or office installations with standard domestic supply levels
• Replacement of existing single-pole breakers with B-curve requirements

Key specifications

• Poles: 1 (single-pole)
• Tripping curve: B
• Rated current: 13 A
• Rated breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Mounting: DIN-rail (TH35) compatible
• Form factor: compact miniature circuit breaker

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard TH35 DIN-rail in the distribution board and connect the phase conductor to the top terminal and the load conductor to the bottom terminal, observing correct torque values recommended for the terminal screws. Ensure the protective earth and neutral connections in the panel comply with local wiring rules; this single-pole breaker interrupts only the phase conductor. After wiring, restore power and verify correct operation by switching the breaker on and off and by conducting routine insulation and continuity checks on the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Use this single-pole B-13A breaker for circuits where inrush currents are expected but fast short-circuit protection is required. Do not use it in circuits that require simultaneous neutral disconnection or in three-phase applications. Observe local electrical codes for selection, installation, and coordination with upstream protection devices to ensure proper discrimination and safe operation.
