Eaton PLSM-B6-MW miniature circuit breaker – Reliable protection for 6A circuits
The Eaton PLSM-B6-MW circuit breaker reliably protects your electrical wiring. This single-pole circuit breaker from the proven xPole series protects circuits up to 6 amps. Thanks to its B-curve characteristic, it is particularly suitable for resistive loads. Therefore, it is the right choice for lighting, socket circuits, and heating systems.
Furthermore, the PLSM-B6-MW boasts a rated breaking capacity of 10 kA according to IEC/EN 60898-1. This ensures reliable protection even in the event of high short-circuit currents. Additionally, energy limiting class 3 minimizes the amount of energy that passes through in the event of a fault. Consequently, downstream cables and devices are optimally protected.
Characteristic curve B trips at 3 to 5 times the rated current. This makes it ideal for circuits with resistive loads, as these do not experience high inrush currents. This prevents unwanted tripping during normal operation.
The Eaton PLSM-B6-MW miniature circuit breaker can also be easily mounted on a standard DIN rail, occupying only one module (17.5 mm). Furthermore, it can be expanded with various accessories, such as auxiliary switches or shunt trip releases.
