Circuit breaker Kanlux 1P 10A B 23141 — single-pole overcurrent protection

Kanlux 1P 10A B (model 23141) is a single-pole overcurrent protection device intended for use in residential and light commercial electrical installations. It provides combined thermal-magnetic tripping to protect branch circuits up to 10 A with a B-type trip curve, offering rapid response to short-circuit currents while tolerating normal inrush currents from lighting and small appliances. The breaker is designed for DIN-rail mounting in distribution boards and complements basic circuit protection schemes for lighting, sockets, and equipment circuits.

Advantages

The single-pole design saves space in the distribution board while providing reliable overload and short-circuit protection for one phase conductor. The B-characteristic ensures fast disconnection of higher fault currents and stable operation under normal transient loads. Thermal-magnetic operation combines overload detection (thermal) with instantaneous short-circuit response (magnetic), reducing nuisance trips from short-duration inrush currents. The device is compatible with standard DIN-rail systems and offers straightforward installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and small offices
• Protection of individual socket or appliance circuits up to 10 A
• Branch circuit protection on DIN-rail distribution boards

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P)
• Rated current: 10 A
• Tripping characteristic: B-type (thermal-magnetic)
• Protection functions: overload and short-circuit protection
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board, connecting the phase conductor to the input terminal and the protected circuit to the output terminal. Ensure correct tightening of terminals according to the installer’s torque specifications and isolate the supply before installation. After wiring, switch on the breaker and verify circuit continuity and correct operation using appropriate test equipment or by checking load functions. For alterations or servicing, always disconnect power and follow local electrical safety regulations.

Usage recommendations

Use this Kanlux 1P 10A B breaker for individual circuit protection where a fast-acting B-characteristic is appropriate, such as lighting and general-purpose outlets. Avoid using it on circuits with continuous currents near the rated value without verifying temperature rise and duty cycle; select a higher-rated device when continuous load exceeds 80% of the rated current. Regularly inspect the distribution board for signs of overheating or loose connections.
