Key specifications

• Number of poles: 2
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Rated current: 4A
• Breaking capacity: 6kA
• System type: AC

How to use

The device is designed for mounting on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with local electrical codes. Ensure that the supply power is disconnected before beginning the installation. Secure the breaker firmly onto the rail and connect the incoming and outgoing conductors to the appropriate terminals, ensuring all connections are tightened to the specified torque to prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 4A current rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the C-characteristic is appropriate for your specific load type
• Check that the 6kA breaking capacity meets the short-circuit current levels of your installation
• Confirm compatibility with your existing DIN rail distribution board

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform periodic testing of the installation to ensure that the protection device functions correctly under fault conditions. Always consult a professional for any modifications to your electrical system.
