Circuit breaker Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 1P C 10A 10kA AC

The Eti-Polam ETIMAT10 single-pole circuit breaker with a C-type tripping characteristic is designed for overcurrent protection in residential and light commercial electrical installations. Rated for a continuous current of 10 A and a breaking capacity of 10 kA (AC), this device provides combined thermal and magnetic protection to interrupt overloads and short circuits. It is built for mounting on standard DIN rails and integrates into common distribution boards to protect branch circuits, lighting, and small appliances.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers accurate tripping behavior for both overload and short-circuit conditions due to its thermal-magnetic mechanism and C characteristic. Its 10 kA breaking capacity ensures reliable interruption of fault currents within typical household and small commercial systems. The single-pole design saves space in distribution boards while maintaining required protective functions. The device is compatible with standard DIN-rail installations and is suitable for straightforward replacement or addition to existing panels.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Branch circuit protection for sockets and small appliances
• Small commercial and office electrical circuits
• Retrofit or extension of DIN-rail distribution boards

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Tripping characteristic: C-type (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Rated current: 10 A (continuous)
• Rated breaking capacity: 10 kA (AC)
• Protection type: thermal-magnetic (overload and short-circuit)
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes and safety standards. Connect the incoming live conductor to the breaker’s line terminal and the outgoing load conductor to the load terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminals and correct phase identification. After installation, switch the breaker to the ON position to restore the circuit. Test the protected circuit under normal conditions and verify proper operation; if repeated tripping occurs, identify and correct the underlying overload or short-circuit cause before reusing.

Usage recommendations

Use this circuit breaker as part of a coordinated protective scheme: match the breaker rating and C-type characteristic to the expected inrush currents of connected loads, avoid exceeding the rated continuous current, and ensure proper upstream/downstream discrimination with other protective devices in the panel.
