Circuit breaker Kanlux 1P C 6A AC model 23157 — single-pole overcurrent protection 6 A

Kanlux single-pole circuit breaker model 23157 is a compact overcurrent protection device with C characteristic and a rated current of 6 A for alternating current (AC) installations. Designed for DIN-rail mounting, this breaker protects individual circuits from overloads and short circuits in residential and light commercial electrical systems. Its small footprint makes it suitable for distribution boards where space is limited while providing basic protection for lighting circuits, receptacles and small appliances.

Advantages

The breaker features a C tripping characteristic that balances sensitivity to short-circuit events with tolerance for temporary inrush currents from motors or LED drivers. Its single-pole design simplifies installation in single-phase circuits and reduces panel space usage compared with multi-pole alternatives. The device is built to standard electrical protection norms and provides reliable automatic disconnection of faulty circuits to help prevent damage to wiring and connected equipment.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Overcurrent protection for small household appliances and sockets
• Individual circuit protection in small offices or retail premises
• DIN-rail distribution boards where space-saving single-pole devices are required

Key specifications

• Type: single-pole miniature circuit breaker
• Tripping characteristic: C-curve (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Rated current: 6 A
• Designed for: alternating current (AC) circuits
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible
• Application environment: residential and light commercial electrical installations

How to use

Install the circuit breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board according to local wiring regulations. Connect the phase conductor to the breaker’s input terminal and the load conductor to its output terminal, ensuring secure torque on terminals and correct phase orientation. After wiring, switch the breaker to the ON position. In normal operation it remains closed; it will trip automatically when current exceeds the device’s protection threshold. Reset the device by switching it fully to OFF and then back to ON after resolving the fault.

Usage recommendations

Use this single-pole 6 A C-characteristic breaker for protecting individual lighting circuits, dedicated small-appliance lines or other single-phase loads where a 6 A rating is appropriate. Verify compatibility with local electrical codes and pair with appropriate residual-current devices (RCDs) or surge protection as required for comprehensive protection. Always isolate power before installation and consult a qualified electrician for wiring and verification.
