Eaton PKNM-10/1N/B/003-AM Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent Protection – 10 A, Characteristic Curve B, 30 mA
The Eaton PKNM-10/1N/B/003-AM residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) from the xPole series combines residual current protection and circuit protection in a single compact device. This saves valuable space in the distribution box and significantly reduces wiring effort.
This residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) operates with a rated current of 10 A and a tripping characteristic of B (for resistive and mixed loads). The 30 mA residual current reliably protects people from dangerous electric shocks. The RCCB protection is type A (pulse current sensitive). This means the device detects both sinusoidal AC residual currents and pulsating DC residual currents. Therefore, it is the right choice for circuits with electronic devices.
Therefore, this residual current circuit breaker (RCCB) is particularly suitable for homes, offices, and light commercial buildings. Furthermore, its B-curve characteristic is ideal for lighting, sockets, and heating systems. You benefit from proven Eaton quality and a rated breaking capacity of 10 kA.
