Circuit Breaker Eti-Polam 1P C 6A — Miniature MCB, Single Pole C-Characteristic 6 A

Eti-Polam 1P C 6A miniature circuit breaker is a single-pole protective device designed to interrupt overloads and short circuits in low-voltage installations. The device features a C-type tripping characteristic suitable for general-purpose circuits with moderate inrush currents. Housed in a compact DIN-rail mount body, this MCB provides manual switching and automatic trip functions for residential, commercial and light industrial distribution boards.

Advantages

The breaker combines a compact footprint with reliable thermal-magnetic protection, enabling space-efficient installation in standard consumer units and distribution panels. Its C-characteristic ensures selective tripping for circuits with moderate start-up currents while maintaining fast response to short-circuit conditions. The manual toggle makes it simple to switch the circuit on or off for maintenance or testing.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and offices
• Protection of socket-outlet circuits and small appliances
• Sub-distribution and modular DIN-rail panels in commercial premises
• Light industrial control panels with moderate motor inrush

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 6 A
• Tripping characteristic: C-type (thermal-magnetic)
• Mounting: DIN-rail (standard enclosure compatible)
• Operation: manual toggle with automatic trip
• Application voltage: low-voltage distribution systems

How to use

Install the miniature circuit breaker on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board following applicable wiring regulations and ensuring the supply is disconnected before work begins. Connect the line and load conductors to the corresponding terminals and tighten to the recommended torque. Use the manual toggle to switch the circuit on and off; the breaker will automatically trip under overload or short-circuit conditions and can be reset after the fault is cleared.

Usage recommendations

Verify compatibility with system voltage and conductor sizes before installation, and ensure earth and protective devices coordination to maintain selectivity. After a trip, inspect the protected circuit for faults before resetting the breaker. For installations with motors or heavy inductive loads, consider upstream coordination to prevent nuisance tripping.
