Circuit breaker (3‑pole) Kanlux 23164 B-curve 10 A AC

The Kanlux three-pole miniature circuit breaker model 23164 with a B tripping characteristic and 10 A rated current is intended for protection of three-phase alternating-current circuits. It is designed for installation in distribution boards to guard wiring and connected equipment against overloads and short circuits. The device provides individual pole switching and can be used where selective protection and predictable trip behaviour are needed in residential and light commercial electrical systems.

Advantages

This 3-pole circuit breaker offers thermal-magnetic protection with a B curve characteristic, ensuring reliable tripping for common overload conditions while minimizing unwanted trips from small inrush currents. Its compact miniature design fits standard DIN-rail mounting systems used in consumer units and small distribution panels. The breaker delivers coordinated protection across all three phases and simplifies wiring and maintenance by providing a single compact device for three-phase circuits.

Suitable for

• Three-phase electrical circuits in homes and small businesses
• Protection of lighting circuits and socket groups on AC systems
• Distribution boards and consumer units requiring selective protection
• Applications where coordinated three-pole disconnection is required

Key specifications

• Poles: 3 (three-pole switching)
• Rated current: 10 A
• Tripping characteristic: B curve (thermal-magnetic)
• Intended supply: alternating current (AC)
• Mounting: DIN-rail compatible miniature circuit breaker form factor
• Function: overload and short-circuit protection with simultaneous pole disconnection

How to use

Install the breaker on a standard DIN rail inside the distribution board following local electrical codes and safety procedures. Connect the three phase conductors to the line terminals and the load conductors to the load terminals, ensuring correct tightening torques and conductor sizes for a 10 A rated device. Verify that the breaker is compatible with the system voltage and that upstream and downstream protective devices are coordinated. After wiring, switch the breaker on and test the circuit under normal load conditions to confirm correct operation and trip behaviour.

Usage recommendations

Use this circuit breaker in installations where a B characteristic is appropriate — typically residential circuits and lighting or socket groups with limited inrush currents. Coordinate with residual-current devices or upstream breakers when required, and follow national wiring regulations for protective device selectivity and safe installation practices.
