Circuit breaker GACIA B10 1P 6kA Type B 1P 10A SB6L overcurrent protection

GACIA B10 1P 6kA Type B is a single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker designed for protection of residential and light commercial electrical circuits. Rated at 10 A with a breaking capacity of 6 kA and a B-type tripping characteristic, this SB6L model provides selective response to overloads and short-circuits, ensuring reliable interruption of fault currents in distribution boards and consumer units.

Advantages

The single-pole design conserves space in distribution boards while delivering consistent overcurrent protection. The B tripping curve offers fast response to moderate short-circuits and overloads typical in lighting and small appliance circuits. With a 6 kA breaking capacity and standardized form factor, the breaker is compatible with common DIN-rail distribution systems and simplifies installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and small offices
• Overcurrent protection for socket circuits with low inrush loads
• Use in small distribution boards and consumer units
• Retrofit or replacement of existing single-pole breakers with similar characteristics

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 10 A
• Tripping characteristic: B-type
• Breaking capacity: 6 kA
• Function: overcurrent and short-circuit protection
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible

How to use

Install the breaker into the distribution board on the DIN rail, ensuring correct orientation and secure terminal connections to phase conductors. Connect the load conductor to the breaker output and verify tightness of terminals according to installation torque recommendations. After wiring, switch the breaker to the ON position and test the circuit for proper operation. Use this device as part of a complete electrical installation together with appropriate earth leakage and residual-current devices where required by regulations.

Usage recommendations

Choose this 10 A B-type breaker for circuits with low to moderate inrush currents such as lighting and general-purpose sockets. Verify that the 6 kA breaking capacity meets local fault current levels and combine with correctly rated protective devices upstream or downstream as needed. Periodically inspect terminals for tightness and signs of overheating, and replace the breaker if tripping becomes frequent or if physical damage is observed.
