Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, C-Curve, 4A, 10kA

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 1-pole miniature circuit breaker is a robust electrical protection device engineered to safeguard circuits against overloads and short circuits. Designed for both residential and commercial electrical systems, this component provides reliable performance and long-term durability in various power distribution setups. Its compact design and high breaking capacity make it an essential element for maintaining electrical safety in modern installations.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional reliability due to its high-quality construction and precise tripping mechanism. The C-curve characteristic provides a balanced response to current surges, making it suitable for a wide range of standard electrical loads. With a 10kA breaking capacity, it effectively handles significant fault currents, ensuring that the electrical system remains protected even under demanding conditions. The 1-pole configuration allows for easy integration into standard distribution boards, facilitating efficient space management and straightforward installation.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office power circuits
• Lighting systems
• Small motor control circuits
• General purpose electrical installations

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, it may not be appropriate for circuits with high inrush currents that require a D-curve tripping characteristic, or for applications requiring multi-pole switching where a 1-pole device would be insufficient for complete circuit isolation.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 4A
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• Voltage type: AC

How to use

The ETIMAT10 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. The device is snapped onto the rail, and the supply and load wires are connected to the respective terminals, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch can be used to manually open or close the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4A rated current matches the requirements of your specific circuit load.
• Ensure the C-curve characteristic is appropriate for the equipment being protected.
• Confirm that the installation environment is compatible with AC-rated circuit breakers.
• Check the available space in your distribution board for a 1-pole module.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform a functional test of the tripping mechanism periodically to ensure continued operational safety. Do not attempt to repair the internal components if the breaker trips repeatedly; instead, investigate the circuit for underlying faults.
