Circuit breaker Eti-Polam ETIMAT 6 1-pole 6 kA B16 002111516

Eti-Polam ETIMAT 6 single-pole miniature circuit breaker with B16 trip characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity is designed for overcurrent protection in single-phase electrical circuits. Intended for installation in residential and commercial distribution boards, this DIN-rail mountable device interrupts overloads and short circuits reliably while occupying minimal panel space. The compact form factor and standard terminal connections make it compatible with typical consumer units and small distribution systems.

Advantages

The ETIMAT 6 B16 provides consistent tripping performance according to its B characteristic curve, ensuring fast response to short-circuit conditions while allowing harmless inrush currents. Its 6 kA rated breaking capacity covers common domestic and light-commercial fault levels. The product features clear manual switching, secure terminal clamping, and a compact housing suitable for standard modular panels.

Suitable for

• Overcurrent protection of single-phase circuits in homes
• Branch circuit protection in small offices and shops
• Installation in consumer units and distribution boards on DIN rails
• Protection of lighting and socket circuits with moderate inrush currents

Key specifications

• Poles: 1 (single-pole)
• Trip characteristic: B curve (type B)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Mounting: DIN-rail (standard modular housing)
• Application: overload and short-circuit protection for a single phase

How to use

Mount the ETIMAT 6 B16 on a standard DIN rail inside a distribution board and connect the line and load conductors to the designated terminals, ensuring correct tightening torque for secure clamping. Install in accordance with local electrical codes and ensure the circuit is de-energized before wiring. After installation, switch the breaker on and verify proper operation by applying normal load; it should trip under fault or sustained overload conditions.

Usage recommendations

Select this B16 breaker when protecting circuits with primarily resistive loads or light inductive loads where moderate inrush currents occur; for motor loads or heavy inductive equipment consider devices with appropriate trip characteristics. Periodically inspect terminal tightness and the breaker for signs of overheating or damage, and replace if tripping behavior becomes irregular.
