Eaton xEffect xEffect Miniature Circuit Breaker, 3-Pole, 10 A, Type C, 230 V ac AC, 6 kA Breaking Capacity

This miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is a robust device designed for residential circuit protection. With a current rating of 10A and a 3-pole plus neutral configuration, it ensures reliable performance in electrical installations. The unit operates at a rated AC voltage of 415V and provides a high breaking capacity of 6kA, making it suitable for various electrical applications. Measuring 70.8mm in width and 85mm in length, it is designed for DIN rail mounting for ease of installation.

• Type C circuit breaker ensures suitable tripping for motor loads

• Used for automated systems in residential electrical installations

The Type C characteristic efficiently handles high inrush currents typical of inductive loads, protecting circuits from tripping unnecessarily during startup conditions.

A high breaking capacity, rated at 6kA, ensures that the MCB can safely interrupt fault currents without sustaining damage during overcurrent events, providing enhanced protection for downstream equipment.

DIN rail mounting facilitates quick and secure installation within electrical panels, allowing for easy integration into existing systems while optimising space utilisation.

This circuit breaker functions effectively in a wide temperature range of -25°C to 75°C, making it suitable for diverse environments, from residential to industrial settings.

While the MCB primarily serves to protect electrical circuits from overloads and short circuits, it is integral to a comprehensive safety system that should include residual current devices to provide shock protection.
