Circuit breaker Etipo ETIMAT 6 1‑pole C3 6 kA (MPN 002141509)

Single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker Etipo ETIMAT 6 with C3 tripping characteristic and 6 kA breaking capacity is designed to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits in residential and light commercial installations. The device provides manual switching and automatic trip functionality and is intended for mounting on a standard DIN rail. Its compact single-pole design saves space in distribution boards while delivering defined instantaneous and thermal protection for downstream conductors and equipment.

Advantages

The Etipo ETIMAT 6 offers a C3 tripping curve suited for circuits with moderate inrush currents, combining reliable short-circuit interruption up to 6 kA with thermal overload protection. Its single-pole format simplifies wiring for phase conductor protection and reduces panel footprint. The breaker includes a clear toggle for manual on/off operation and a robust mechanism for repeatable automatic tripping under fault conditions, supporting safe and predictable circuit behavior.

Suitable for

• Protection of single-phase branch circuits in homes and apartments
• Feeding lighting circuits and small power outlets
• Light commercial electrical panels with moderate inrush loads
• Replacement or upgrade of existing single-pole protective devices

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole
• Tripping characteristic: type C (C3)
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible
• Function: manual ON/OFF and automatic trip on overload/short circuit
• Application: protection of phase conductor in single-phase circuits

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes. Connect the incoming phase conductor to the line terminal and the outgoing load conductor to the load terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws. Verify correct neutral and earth connections in the panel; this device protects the phase conductor only. Switch the breaker to ON to supply the circuit. If an overload or short circuit occurs, the breaker will trip automatically; reset by moving the toggle to OFF and then back to ON after clearing the fault and confirming safe conditions.

Usage recommendations

Choose the correct rated current size matching conductor capacity and expected load; coordinate with downstream protective devices and follow national wiring standards. Periodically inspect terminals for tightness and signs of overheating, and replace the device if mechanical operation becomes stiff or if it fails to trip as expected.
