Circuit breaker 1P C 20A AC Kanlux 23146 — single-pole overcurrent protection

Single-pole overcurrent circuit breaker Kanlux model 23146 rated C curve, 20 A, designed for AC distribution systems. The device provides reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in residential and commercial electrical installations. Compact, DIN-rail mount construction makes it suitable for standard distribution boards, offering defined trip characteristics that balance sensitivity to faults and tolerance to temporary inrush currents.

Advantages

This single-pole 20 A breaker features a C-type tripping curve that combines delayed response to short inrush currents and fast disconnection for sustained overloads, helping to limit damage to wiring and connected equipment. The compact DIN-rail housing allows efficient use of space in distribution panels while ensuring secure mechanical and electrical connection. The device is compatible with typical AC mains wiring and provides a clear indication of contact position for straightforward maintenance and verification.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and small commercial premises
• Protection of socket outlets and general-purpose power circuits
• Protection of small motors and appliances with moderate starting currents
• Use in standard DIN-rail distribution boards and consumer units

Key specifications

• Poles: single-pole (1P) for single-phase applications
• Rated current: 20 A
• Tripping characteristic: C curve (suitable for general circuits with moderate inrush)
• Application: alternating current (AC) mains
• Mounting: DIN-rail for distribution boards
• Protection functions: overcurrent and short-circuit protection

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes. Connect the phase conductor to the breaker’s input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, ensuring tight and secure terminals and correct polarity. Use the breaker as part of a coordinated protection scheme; verify upstream and downstream protective devices are compatible. Test the operation by switching the device on and off after installation and inspect connections periodically for signs of heating or loosening.

Usage recommendations

Select this 20 A C-curve breaker when circuits include lighting, socket outlets, or small motors where moderate inrush currents occur. Avoid using the device for circuits with unusually high startup currents or where a different tripping curve is required; consult an electrician to choose appropriate coordination and to comply with local regulations.
