Circuit Breaker Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 1P B 6A 10kA AC (MPN 002121712)

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 single-pole miniature circuit breaker with B characteristic and a rated current of 6 A provides overcurrent protection for residential and light-commercial electrical installations. With a breaking capacity of 10 kA (AC) and compatibility with standard DIN-rail distribution boards, this compact device interrupts excessive currents caused by overloads and short circuits to protect wiring and connected equipment. The product is intended for use in single-phase circuits where selective tripping characteristics and reliable thermal-magnetic operation are required.

Advantages

This circuit breaker features a B trip curve suitable for protection of general lighting circuits and most household outlets where moderate inrush currents occur. Its 6 A rating offers precise protection for low-current circuits, helping to prevent nuisance tripping while maintaining safety. The 10 kA breaking capacity ensures the device can safely interrupt substantial fault currents typical in modern small installations. Designed for DIN-rail mounting, the unit is compact and easy to integrate into standard distribution boards.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting circuits and socket outlets with low to moderate inrush currents
• Small commercial or office circuits with single-phase supply
• Protection of individual branch circuits for appliances and equipment up to 6 A
• Retrofit and new installations using standard 35 mm DIN-rail distribution boards

When it may not be suitable

This single-pole 6 A breaker is not appropriate for three-phase circuits or for circuits requiring higher continuous currents; larger or multi-pole devices should be used in those cases. It is also not intended to provide ground-fault or residual-current protection—separate RCD/RCBO devices are required where earth-leakage or additional protective functions are mandated by regulations.

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Trip characteristic: B curve (thermal-magnetic)
• Rated current: 6 A
• Breaking capacity: 10 kA (AC)
• Mounting: 35 mm DIN-rail
• Application: single-phase overcurrent protection for circuits and equipment

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard 35 mm DIN-rail inside the distribution board following applicable electrical standards and local regulations. Connect the line and load conductors to the designated terminals, ensuring correct tightening torque and secure connections. Use the manual toggle to switch the circuit on and off for testing or maintenance. If the breaker trips repeatedly, identify and eliminate the underlying overload or short-circuit condition before resetting.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm the circuit nominal current (6 A) matches the protected loads and wiring capacity
• Verify that a B trip curve is appropriate for the devices on the circuit (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Ensure distribution board has standard 35 mm DIN-rail space available for mounting
• Check whether additional protection (RCD/RCBO) is required by local regulations

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, pair this breaker with correctly sized conductors and proper upstream and downstream protective devices; perform periodic inspections and test switching after any electrical work. Use a dedicated RCD or RCBO where earth-leakage protection is required.
