Circuit breaker Kanlux 1P B 6A model 23144 — single-pole overcurrent protection

Kanlux 1P B 6A model 23144 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed to provide overcurrent protection for lighting and socket circuits in residential and light commercial electrical installations. With a B tripping characteristic and a rated current of 6 A, this device responds to short-circuit and overload conditions appropriate for circuits with moderate inrush currents. The breaker is intended for DIN-rail mounting and integration into standard distribution boards to ensure coordinated protection of individual circuits.

Advantages

The Kanlux 1P B 6A offers reliable, fast tripping for phase conductors with a B-type curve that limits nuisance trips on circuits with small motor or transformer inrush. Compact housing allows efficient use of space inside consumer units and distribution boards. Its clear ON/OFF actuator provides simple visual confirmation of breaker state, and the device is compatible with common DIN-rail systems for straightforward installation and replacement.

Suitable for

• Protecting lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Protecting power sockets and small appliance circuits
• Use in small commercial or office electrical panels
• Retrofit or new-build DIN-rail distribution boards

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P) for phase conductor protection
• Tripping characteristic: B curve — designed for low to moderate inrush currents
• Rated current: 6 A
• Breaking capacity: suitable for typical residential and light commercial fault currents (refer to installation documentation for exact values)
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail (TH35) compatible
• Actuator: manual ON/OFF toggle for reset after trip

How to use

Install the Kanlux 1P B 6A on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes and wiring diagrams. Connect the incoming phase conductor to the line terminal and the outgoing circuit conductor to the load terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminal screws. After wiring, switch the breaker to the ON position; verify correct operation by checking downstream circuits. In the event of an overload or short circuit the breaker will trip to the OFF position and should be inspected and the fault cleared before manual reset.

Usage recommendations

Use this B-characteristic 6 A breaker for circuits with primarily resistive loads and limited motor or transformer inrush. Coordinate with upstream protective devices and ensure total load per circuit does not exceed the rated 6 A. Follow applicable national wiring regulations and consult a qualified electrician for installation, circuit design, or fault diagnosis.
