Circuit breaker Kanlux 1P B 32A model 23162 — single-pole overcurrent protection 32 A

Kanlux 1P B 32A model 23162 is a single-pole circuit breaker designed for single‑phase electrical installations. With a rated current of 32 A and a B-type tripping curve, it offers overcurrent protection against overloads and short circuits for lighting circuits, socket outlets and small appliances. The device is intended for DIN‑rail mounting in distribution boards and panels and is suitable for residential and light commercial applications.

Advantages

The B-type characteristic provides reliable selective tripping for circuits with moderate inrush currents, reducing unwanted disconnections while ensuring fast response to short-circuit conditions. Compact single-pole construction saves space in distribution enclosures and simplifies wiring. Robust mechanical design and standard DIN‑rail compatibility enable easy installation and replacement in common electrical panels.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Overcurrent protection for socket outlets and small household appliances
• Single-phase branch circuits in light commercial premises

Key specifications

• Poles: single‑pole (1P)
• Rated current: 32 A
• Tripping characteristic: B curve (instantaneous trip at moderate multiples of In)
• Function: overcurrent protection (overload and short‑circuit)
• Mounting: DIN‑rail compatible for electrical distribution boards
• Application: single‑phase circuits, lighting, sockets and small loads

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board following applicable electrical codes and safety regulations. Connect the phase conductor to the breaker’s input terminal and the outgoing circuit conductor to its output terminal, ensuring secure tightening of terminals and correct polarity. Use a qualified electrician for installation, perform insulation and continuity checks before energizing, and verify the breaker rating matches the protected circuit conductor and load.

Usage recommendations

Choose the 32 A B‑type breaker when protecting general-purpose single‑phase circuits with low to moderate inrush currents, such as residential lighting and socket circuits. For circuits with large motor or transformer inrush, consider a breaker with a different tripping characteristic. Regularly inspect connections and replace the device if mechanical damage or malfunction is detected.
