ELEKTROPLAST OCB/B10/1P Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P B 10A 6kA

The ELEKTROPLAST OCB/B10/1P is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits. This device is specifically designed to detect and interrupt overcurrents, including both overloads and short circuits, thereby preventing damage to wiring and connected appliances. With its robust construction and precise tripping mechanism, it serves as a fundamental component in modern electrical distribution boards, ensuring consistent performance and safety in various environments.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers significant reliability through its B-type tripping characteristic, which is optimized for standard residential and light commercial loads. The 6kA breaking capacity ensures that the device can safely handle fault currents, providing a high level of protection for your electrical infrastructure. Its compact single-pole design allows for efficient space utilization within distribution boxes, while the durable materials used in its manufacturing guarantee a long service life and stable operation under normal conditions.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical installations
• Light commercial power distribution
• Protection of lighting circuits
• General purpose socket outlets
• Small office electrical systems

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in high-power industrial applications that require higher rated currents or different tripping characteristics, such as C or D curves for motors or heavy inductive loads. It is also not suitable for multi-phase systems unless specifically configured as part of a multi-pole assembly.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 10A
• Number of poles: 1P
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Mounting type: DIN rail

How to use

The circuit breaker is designed for installation on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. It should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes and safety regulations. Once mounted, the input and output wires are connected to the respective terminals. The toggle switch on the front allows for manual switching of the circuit, and it will automatically trip to the off position in the event of an electrical fault.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the B-type characteristic is appropriate for your connected loads
• Check available space on your DIN rail
• Confirm compatibility with your existing distribution board enclosure

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or overheating. It is recommended to perform a functional test by toggling the switch periodically to ensure the mechanism remains free and operational. If the breaker trips, investigate the cause of the overload or short circuit before resetting it.
