Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P B 32A 10kA AC

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 1P B 32A 10kA AC is a high-performance miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection for electrical circuits. This single-pole device is designed to detect and interrupt overcurrents, effectively preventing damage to wiring and connected equipment caused by overloads or short circuits. With a 32A rated current and a 10kA breaking capacity, it ensures reliable operation in various electrical distribution systems.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high breaking capacity of 10kA, which allows it to handle significant fault currents safely. The B-type tripping characteristic makes it particularly suitable for circuits with low inrush currents, such as lighting and general-purpose socket outlets. Its compact design facilitates easy installation in standard distribution boards, while the durable construction ensures long-term reliability and consistent performance in both residential and commercial electrical environments.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical installations
• Commercial building distribution boards
• Lighting circuits
• General-purpose power socket circuits
• Protection of electrical appliances with low starting currents

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in DC electrical systems, as it is specifically designed for AC applications. Furthermore, the B-type tripping characteristic may not be appropriate for circuits powering equipment with high inrush currents, such as large motors or transformers, where a C or D-type breaker would be required to prevent nuisance tripping.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 32A
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• System type: AC

How to use

The circuit breaker should be installed by a qualified electrician onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Ensure that the supply voltage and frequency match the device specifications before connection. The device is mounted by snapping it onto the rail and securing the input and output cables firmly into the terminal clamps, ensuring proper torque is applied to prevent loose connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 32A rating matches the requirements of your circuit load.
• Ensure the B-type characteristic is compatible with the connected equipment.
• Confirm that the 10kA breaking capacity meets local safety regulations for your installation point.
• Check that the installation space allows for a single-pole module.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to test the functionality of the device periodically to ensure it remains in good working order. If the breaker trips, investigate the cause of the overload or short circuit before resetting the switch.
