Etipo Asti-Etimat 6 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1P B 2A 6kA AC

The Etipo Asti-Etimat 6 is a high-quality single-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide dependable protection for electrical circuits in both residential and commercial environments. This device is specifically designed to detect and interrupt overcurrent conditions, including overloads and short circuits, thereby preventing damage to wiring and connected electrical equipment. With its robust construction and precise tripping mechanism, it serves as a critical component for maintaining the safety and integrity of modern electrical distribution systems.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional reliability through its advanced thermal and electromagnetic release mechanisms. The B-type tripping characteristic makes it particularly suitable for circuits with low inrush currents, such as lighting and general-purpose power outlets. Its 6kA breaking capacity ensures that the device can safely interrupt fault currents, providing a high level of security for the electrical installation. The compact design allows for efficient use of space within distribution boards, while the standardized mounting system facilitates quick and easy installation on DIN rails.

Suitable for

• Residential lighting circuits
• General-purpose power outlets
• Low-power control circuits
• Small commercial electrical installations

When it may not be suitable

This circuit breaker is not intended for use in circuits with high inrush currents, such as those powering large motors or transformers, where a C or D-type characteristic would be required to prevent nuisance tripping. It is also not suitable for DC electrical systems as it is specifically rated for AC applications.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Tripping characteristic: B
• Rated current: 2A
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• Rated voltage: AC

How to use

The device is designed for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician to ensure compliance with local electrical codes and safety standards. The supply cables are connected to the input terminals, while the load cables are connected to the output terminals, ensuring all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the rated current of 2A matches the requirements of your specific circuit load.
• Verify that the B-type tripping characteristic is appropriate for the connected equipment.
• Confirm that the 6kA breaking capacity meets the short-circuit current requirements of your electrical installation.
• Check that the installation environment is compatible with the device's operating temperature and humidity ratings.

Usage recommendations

Regular inspection of the circuit breaker and periodic testing of the installation are recommended to ensure continued operational safety and performance. Do not exceed the rated current capacity of the device.
