Kanlux 23169 Miniature Circuit Breaker 3P C 50A AC

The Kanlux 23169 is a high-quality 3-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust protection for electrical circuits in both residential and commercial environments. This device is specifically designed to safeguard electrical installations by interrupting the power supply in the event of overloads or short circuits, thereby preventing damage to wiring and connected appliances. With its C-type tripping characteristic and a rated current of 50A, it offers a reliable solution for managing electrical loads in AC systems.

Advantages

This miniature circuit breaker stands out for its durable construction and consistent performance under standard operating conditions. By utilizing a 3-pole configuration, it ensures simultaneous disconnection of all three phases, which is essential for the safety of three-phase electrical systems. The C-type characteristic provides a balanced response to current surges, making it suitable for a wide range of applications where moderate inrush currents are expected. Its compact design allows for efficient use of space within distribution boards, facilitating easier installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Three-phase electrical installations in residential buildings
• Commercial office power distribution systems
• Protection of circuits supplying motors and lighting groups
• Industrial control panels requiring reliable overcurrent protection

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in DC electrical systems, as it is specifically rated for AC operation. Furthermore, it may not be appropriate for circuits with very high inrush currents that require a D-type tripping characteristic, or for low-current applications where a lower rated current breaker would provide more sensitive protection.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 3
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Rated current: 50A
• System type: AC

How to use

The circuit breaker should be installed by a qualified electrician within a standard DIN-rail distribution board. Ensure that the power supply is completely disconnected before beginning the installation process. The device snaps onto the mounting rail, and the input and output cables should be securely fastened to the respective terminals, ensuring proper torque is applied to the screws to prevent loose connections. Once installed, the breaker can be switched on manually to energize the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 50A rated current matches the requirements of your electrical circuit
• Ensure the installation environment is compatible with AC-rated equipment
• Check the available space in your distribution board for a 3-pole device
• Confirm that the C-type tripping curve is appropriate for the connected load

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform a functional test periodically to ensure the switching mechanism operates smoothly and the device remains effective in protecting your electrical installation.
