Circuit Breaker 3P C 6A, Eti-Polam model 002145512, three-pole C-characteristic 6 A

Circuit Breaker 3P C 6A from Eti-Polam is a three-pole thermal-magnetic protective device with a C-type tripping characteristic and a rated current of 6 A. It is designed to interrupt overloads and short circuits in three-phase circuits, providing coordinated protection for feeders and branch circuits in residential and small commercial electrical installations. The compact device fits standard distribution boards and offers reliable mechanical operation and electrical isolation when tripped.

Advantages

The three-pole design ensures simultaneous disconnection of all phases for safe fault clearance and reduced risk of phase-to-phase damage. The C characteristic provides balanced sensitivity to inrush currents from motors and transformers while still reacting quickly to true overloads and short circuits. Built to industry mounting standards, the breaker allows straightforward installation in enclosures and replacement of like-for-like devices. The thermal-magnetic mechanism combines thermal overload protection with instantaneous magnetic trip for short-circuit interruption, delivering dependable performance under typical installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Protection of three-phase branch circuits in residential distribution boards
• Small commercial premises and light industrial equipment with moderate inrush currents
• Feeders supplying motors, HVAC units, or distribution subcircuits requiring coordinated trip curves

Key specifications

• Poles: 3 (three-pole)
• Tripping characteristic: C-type (thermal-magnetic)
• Rated current: 6 A
• Function: Overload and short-circuit protection for three-phase circuits
• Mounting: Standard DIN-rail / distribution board compatible form factor

How to use

Install the breaker in the distribution board following local electrical codes and the panel manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure power is isolated before wiring. Connect the three phase conductors to the line terminals and the load conductors to the load terminals, observing correct phase sequence. Tighten terminal screws to the recommended torque and verify the protective device is correctly labeled for the circuit it serves. After installation, restore power and perform functional checks by switching the breaker on and off and verifying downstream devices operate as intended.

Usage recommendations

Use this three-pole 6 A C-characteristic breaker in circuits where moderate motor or transformer inrush is expected but where selective and fast short-circuit interruption is still required. Coordinate with upstream and downstream protective devices to ensure selectivity and avoid nuisance trips; consult local regulations and an electrician for final sizing and integration.
