Circuit breaker Eti-Polam ETIMAT 6 3-pole 6 kA C16, model 002145516

Three-pole miniature circuit breaker Eti-Polam ETIMAT 6 model 002145516 with C16 tripping characteristic and 6 kA short-circuit breaking capacity. The device is designed for overload and short-circuit protection in low-voltage electrical installations, including distribution boards in residential, commercial and light-industrial applications. The ETIMAT 6 series provides coordinated protection for branch circuits and common loads requiring a Type C magnetic response for moderate inrush currents.

Advantages

The ETIMAT 6 3-pole breaker delivers reliable thermal-magnetic protection with a C-type tripping curve suitable for circuits with moderate inrush such as small motors and lighting. Its 6 kA breaking capacity supports safe disconnection under short-circuit conditions typical for domestic and light-commercial distribution systems. The compact three-pole design saves DIN-rail space and simplifies multi-phase circuit protection while maintaining consistent performance across all poles.

Suitable for

• Protection of three-phase branch circuits in residential and commercial distribution boards
• Feeding and protecting small motors, HVAC components and pumps with moderate inrush currents
• Lighting circuits and general-purpose three-phase loads

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Tripping characteristic: Type C (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Rated current: 16 A
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible miniature circuit breaker
• Function: Thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection

How to use

Install the three-pole breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes and the manufacturer's mounting guidelines. Connect the three-phase supply conductors to the line terminals and the load conductors to the load terminals, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws and correct phase sequence. Use the breaker as the primary protective device for the circuit it serves, and verify correct operation by manually switching the breaker on and off before commissioning.

Usage recommendations

Verify system coordination and select upstream and downstream protective devices to ensure selective tripping where required. Periodically inspect terminals for tightness and signs of overheating, and replace the breaker if mechanical damage or repeated nuisance tripping occurs.
