Circuit breaker electro base ETIMAT 6 1P 6kA C-32A — single-pole, 6 kA breaking capacity, C curve, 32 A

The electro base ETIMAT 6 1P 6kA C-32A is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for DIN-rail mounting in residential and light commercial distribution boards. With a rated current of 32 A and a breaking capacity of 6 kA, this device provides protection against overloads and short circuits in general circuits. The C-type tripping characteristic is suitable for circuits with moderate inductive loads such as motors and lighting with transformers, ensuring reliable disconnection without nuisance tripping under normal inrush currents.

Advantages

The product combines compact DIN-rail form factor with a 6 kA short-circuit interruption capability and a C curve that balances sensitivity and tolerance to inrush currents. Its single-pole construction simplifies installation in single-phase circuits while maintaining consistent thermal-magnetic trip behaviour. The breaker is compatible with common residential and small commercial distribution boards and is intended for straightforward replacement or expansion of circuit protection.

Suitable for

• Protection of single-phase lighting and socket circuits in homes
• Circuits with moderate inductive loads such as small motors and transformers
• Distribution board installations on standard DIN-rail
• Replacement of existing single-pole miniature circuit breakers

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Trip curve: C-type (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Mounting: DIN-rail
• Application: protection against overloads and short circuits in single-phase circuits

How to use

Install the miniature circuit breaker on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board according to local electrical codes. Connect the phase conductor to the breaker input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminals and correct conductor sizes for 32 A rating. After installation, switch the breaker to the ON position and verify correct operation by observing that it remains closed under normal load and opens on fault conditions. For circuit testing or maintenance, switch the breaker to OFF and isolate the relevant circuit before proceeding.

Usage recommendations

Use this breaker where a C-type characteristic is appropriate; avoid using it on circuits with high inrush currents that require a D curve, and ensure coordination with downstream protective devices. Regularly inspect terminal tightness and signs of overheating, and follow national wiring regulations and safety standards during installation and maintenance.
