Power limiter ETIMAT T 1P 16A by Eti-Polam — single-pole 16 A circuit power limiter (002181073)

Eti-Polam ETIMAT T 1P 16A is a single-pole power limiter designed to control and limit current in a dedicated circuit up to 16 A. Intended for mounting in distribution boards, the device reduces the risk of overloads by limiting the maximum supplied power to selected circuits or appliances. The compact single-pole construction makes it suitable for systems where only the phase conductor needs to be monitored and restricted.

Advantages

The power limiter provides stable current limiting behavior with predictable trip characteristics, enabling coordinated load management in residential and light-commercial installations. Its single-pole design simplifies installation where neutral continuity is preserved separately, and the unit is compatible with standard DIN-rail mounting inside distribution panels. The device helps prevent nuisance trips of upstream protection by capping circuit draw and supports better distribution of available power among connected loads.

Suitable for

• Limiting current to individual appliance circuits (e.g., electric water heaters, ovens)
• Managing loads in residential distribution boards to avoid main breaker trips
• Light-commercial applications with single-phase circuits where controlled power is required
• Coordinated protection schemes where selective limitation reduces downstream faults

Key specifications

• Rated current: 16 A (single-pole)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible for distribution boards
• Function: current/power limiting for overload prevention and load management
• Application environment: single-phase residential and light-commercial circuits
• Form factor: compact single-pole module suitable for standard panel layouts

How to use

Install the ETIMAT T 1P 16A into the distribution board on a compatible DIN rail and connect the phase conductor through the device according to the wiring diagram provided by the manufacturer. Ensure that upstream protective devices and circuit protections are coordinated with the limiter’s rated current. After installation, verify correct operation by applying typical loads and observing that the limiter restricts current draw without affecting neutral continuity. All installation and commissioning should be carried out by a qualified electrician and in accordance with local electrical codes.

Usage recommendations

Use the power limiter as part of a coordinated protection and load management strategy: select the device for circuits where a 16 A limit is appropriate, confirm compatibility with upstream breakers, and plan distribution to avoid simultaneous peak loads that exceed the available supply.
