ETI ETIMAT 10 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, C-Curve, 6A, 10kA

The ETI ETIMAT 10 is a professional-grade 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection against overcurrents and short circuits in electrical systems. Designed for reliability and safety, this device is a critical component for modern electrical distribution boards, ensuring that circuits remain protected under various load conditions. With its compact design and high breaking capacity, it offers a dependable solution for maintaining the integrity of electrical installations in both residential and commercial environments.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high breaking capacity of 10kA, which allows it to handle significant fault currents safely. The C-type tripping characteristic makes it versatile for a wide range of applications, including those with moderate inrush currents. Its compact 18mm width ensures efficient use of space within distribution boards, while the high mechanical endurance of 10,000 cycles guarantees long-term operational reliability. The device is built to meet stringent safety standards, providing peace of mind for installers and end-users alike.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial lighting and power circuits
• Protection of small motors and inductive loads
• General electrical infrastructure requiring 6A current limitation

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in high-current industrial applications exceeding its 6A rating. It is also not suitable for outdoor environments without an additional protective enclosure, as it carries an IP20 rating, meaning it is not protected against water ingress or dust.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 6A
• Number of poles: 1
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• Rated voltage: 230V
• Width: 18mm
• Mechanical endurance: 10,000 cycles
• Protection degree: IP20

How to use

The ETIMAT 10 is designed for installation on a standard DIN rail within a distribution board. It should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. The device is snapped onto the rail, and the supply and load cables are connected to the respective terminals. Ensure that all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch can be used to manually disconnect or reconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A current rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the C-curve characteristic is appropriate for your specific load type
• Check available space in your distribution board for an 18mm wide module
• Confirm that the installation environment meets the IP20 protection requirements

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or overheating. It is recommended to perform a functional test of the tripping mechanism periodically to ensure continued protection. Always consult a professional for installation and maintenance to ensure safety and compliance with electrical standards.
