Its compact design allows for seamless integration into standard electrical panels, providing consistent protection against overloads and short circuits.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high breaking capacity, which allows it to handle significant fault currents safely, thereby protecting downstream equipment from damage. The device is built with high-quality materials that ensure long-term operational stability and durability. Its design facilitates quick and secure installation on DIN rails, which simplifies maintenance and system upgrades. Furthermore, the clear visual indicators allow for rapid identification of the circuit status, enhancing overall operational efficiency and safety in electrical distribution networks.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Commercial building power management
• Protection of lighting and control circuits
• Electrical panels requiring high-performance short-circuit protection

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in environments with high moisture or dust levels without an appropriate protective enclosure, as it carries an IP20 rating. It is also not suitable for applications requiring multi-pole switching or protection for 3-phase systems, as this is a single-pole unit.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 6A
• Breaking capacity: 15kA
• Mounting type: DIN rail
• Protection rating: IP20
• Dimensions: 18 mm width, 78.5 mm depth, 85 mm height

How to use

The circuit breaker is designed for installation by qualified personnel within a standard electrical distribution board. It should be snapped onto a 35mm DIN rail. Ensure that the power supply is disconnected before installation. Connect the incoming supply cable to the top terminal and the outgoing load cable to the bottom terminal, ensuring all connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specified torque to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch can be used to manually open or close the circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 6A current rating matches your specific load requirements.
• Ensure the 15kA breaking capacity is sufficient for the prospective fault levels of your installation.
• Confirm that your distribution board has sufficient space for an 18mm wide module.
• Check that the installation environment meets the IP20 protection requirements.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform periodic testing of the switching mechanism to ensure it remains functional and responsive. Always adhere to local electrical codes and safety regulations during installation and maintenance.
