Circuit breaker Kanlux 1P C 4A AC model 23161

Single-pole circuit breaker Kanlux 1P C 4A model 23161 is a compact overcurrent protection device for alternating-current single-phase installations. It combines a C-type tripping characteristic with a rated current of 4 A to protect wiring and connected equipment from overloads and short circuits. The breaker is intended for mounting on standard DIN rails in residential and light commercial distribution boards and provides basic, reliable protection for branch circuits and individual loads.

Advantages

The C characteristic ensures stable performance for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and small motor loads, while still providing prompt fault interruption for short circuits. Its single-pole design conserves space in distribution enclosures and simplifies installation. The device is designed for straightforward DIN-rail mounting and integrates with common modular protection and control panels.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Overcurrent protection for sockets supplying small appliances
• Branch-circuit protection in light commercial installations
• DIN-rail distribution boards with limited space

Key specifications

• Poles: 1 (single-pole)
• Tripping curve: C characteristic (moderate inrush tolerance)
• Rated current: 4 A
• Operating current type: AC (alternating current)
• Mounting: standard DIN-rail
• Function: overcurrent protection against overload and short circuit

How to use

Install the breaker on a compatible DIN rail inside the distribution board according to local electrical regulations. Connect the phase conductor to the input terminal and the load conductor to the output terminal, ensuring tight and secure connections. Verify the correct orientation and that the installation is de-energized before wiring. After installation, restore power and test the circuit by applying normal loads and checking that the breaker remains closed under rated conditions and trips under fault conditions.

Usage recommendations

Use this single-pole 4 A C-type breaker in circuits where moderate inrush currents are expected and where space-saving protection is required. Ensure coordination with upstream and downstream protective devices and confirm that the 4 A rating matches the expected continuous load. Periodically inspect connections and the breaker for signs of overheating or damage, and follow local standards for protective device selection and installation.
