Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P C 6A 10kA AC

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 1P C 6A 10kA AC is a high-quality miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection for electrical circuits in residential and commercial environments. This single-pole device is designed to detect and interrupt overcurrents, effectively safeguarding wiring and connected equipment from the risks associated with overloads and short circuits. With its precise engineering and reliable performance, it serves as a critical component in modern electrical distribution systems.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional reliability and safety, ensuring that electrical installations remain protected under various operating conditions. Its high breaking capacity of 10kA allows it to handle significant fault currents, providing peace of mind in demanding electrical setups. The C-type tripping characteristic makes it versatile for a wide range of applications, balancing sensitivity with the ability to handle standard inrush currents without nuisance tripping. The compact design facilitates easy installation in standard distribution boards, optimizing space while maintaining high performance standards.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial office lighting and power circuits
• Protection of small electrical appliances
• General purpose AC 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 suitable for circuits with high-starting-current motors or heavy industrial machinery that requires a D-type tripping characteristic to prevent unwanted tripping during startup.

Key specifications

• Rated current: 6A
• Number of poles: 1
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• System type: AC

How to use

The ETIMAT10 circuit breaker should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical regulations. It is designed for mounting onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. Ensure that the supply power is disconnected before installation. Secure the device firmly onto the rail and connect the incoming supply wire to the top terminal and the outgoing load wire to the bottom terminal, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque settings.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A rated current matches the requirements of your specific circuit load.
• Ensure the C-type characteristic is appropriate for the equipment connected to the circuit.
• Confirm that your electrical system operates on AC current.
• Check the available space in your distribution board for a single-pole module.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform a functional test periodically to ensure the mechanism operates correctly. If the breaker trips, investigate the cause of the overload or short circuit before resetting the switch.
