Circuit breaker 3P C 16A AC Kanlux 23154 — three-pole overcurrent protection, 16 A, type C

The Circuit breaker 3P C 16A AC Kanlux 23154 is a three-pole miniature circuit breaker designed for protection of three-phase AC circuits. It has a rated current of 16 A and a type C tripping characteristic, intended to interrupt overloads and short-circuit currents in distribution boards and commercial or light-industrial installations. The device is compatible with standard DIN-rail mounting and provides coordinated overcurrent protection when used in typical three-phase wiring systems.

Advantages

This three-pole breaker offers selective tripping with a type C characteristic, balancing sensitivity to moderate inrush currents and reliable protection against short circuits. Built for DIN-rail installation, it simplifies wiring and integration into standard distribution enclosures. The compact design reduces space consumption in the panel while delivering consistent operating parameters for 16 A circuits.

Suitable for

• Protection of three-phase branch circuits in commercial and light-industrial premises
• Use in distribution boards and sub-distribution panels with DIN-rail systems
• Circuits with moderate motor or transformer inrush where type C tripping is required

Key specifications

• Poles: three-pole (3P) configuration for three-phase systems
• Rated current: 16 A
• Tripping characteristic: type C (medium inrush tolerance)
• Application: alternating current (AC) circuits
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail compatible housing
• Intended use: overload and short-circuit protection for branch circuits

How to use

Install the breaker onto a standard DIN-rail inside the distribution board, ensuring correct orientation and secure mechanical fastening. Connect the three-phase supply conductors to the line terminals and the load conductors to the load terminals, observing proper tightening torque and conductor sizing for 16 A circuits. After wiring, verify correct phase sequence and perform routine insulation and continuity checks according to local electrical standards before energising the circuit.

Usage recommendations

Choose this type C 16 A three-pole breaker for branch circuits with moderate inrush currents such as small motors or transformers; coordinate upstream and downstream protective devices to ensure selective operation and comply with applicable wiring regulations and installation standards.
