Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 2P B 6A 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 2P B 6A 10kA Miniature Circuit Breaker is a robust protective device engineered to ensure the safety and reliability of electrical installations. Designed for 2-pole operation, this circuit breaker provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits in AC systems. With a rated current of 6A and a high breaking capacity of 10kA, it is a dependable solution for maintaining electrical integrity in various environments.

Advantages

This miniature circuit breaker stands out due to its high breaking capacity, 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 outlets. Its compact design facilitates easy installation in standard distribution boards, while the high-quality construction ensures long-term operational stability and durability in both residential and commercial applications.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting circuits
• General-purpose electrical outlets
• Small commercial office equipment
• Control circuits with low inrush current

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for circuits with high inrush currents, such as those powering large motors or transformers, where a C or D-type tripping characteristic would be required. It is also not suitable for DC electrical systems.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Rated current: 6A
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• System type: AC

How to use

The circuit breaker should be mounted onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Ensure that the supply cables are securely fastened to the terminals and that the torque settings are followed as specified by the manufacturer. Once installed, the device can be manually switched on or off using the toggle lever on the front panel.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A rated current matches the requirements of your circuit load.
• Ensure the B-type tripping characteristic is appropriate for the connected equipment.
• Confirm that your installation requires a 2-pole configuration.
• Check that the 10kA breaking capacity meets the short-circuit current levels of your electrical system.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of physical damage and ensure that all terminal connections remain tight to prevent overheating. Periodically test the device to ensure it remains in proper working order.
