Eaton PLSM-B13-MW miniature circuit breaker – 13A protection with characteristic curve B
The Eaton PLSM-B13-MW miniature circuit breaker (MCB) offers reliable protection for circuits with a rated current of 13 amps. It is a single-pole MCB from the xPole series, providing you with proven Eaton quality in a compact design.
Thanks to its B-curve characteristic, this circuit breaker is particularly suitable for resistive loads. These include lighting systems, socket circuits, and heating controls. Furthermore, the B-curve characteristic causes the breaker to trip at 3 to 5 times the rated current. Therefore, unwanted false tripping during normal operation is virtually eliminated.
The rated breaking capacity is 10 kA according to IEC/EN 60898-1. Additionally, energy limiting class 3 ensures maximum protection in the event of a short circuit. Consequently, your cables and devices are protected even in the case of high fault currents. Furthermore, the switch can withstand an impulse voltage of up to 4 kV.
Installing the Eaton PLSM-B13-MW circuit breaker is incredibly easy. It mounts on a standard DIN rail and requires only 1 DIN rail module space. It accepts conductor cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm². Furthermore, you can combine it with various additional devices.
