Eaton PLSM-C6/1N-MW miniature circuit breaker – 6A with characteristic curve C and 1P+N
The Eaton PLSM-C6/1N-MW miniature circuit breaker combines phase and neutral conductors in a single device. It protects circuits with a 6-ampere current rating and a C-curve characteristic. This makes it particularly suitable for inductive loads with integrated neutral protection. Therefore, it is the right choice when all-pole disconnection and motor protection are required.
Characteristic curve C triggers magnetically at 5 to 10 times the rated current. Compared to characteristic curve B, it tolerates significantly higher inrush currents. Consequently, you avoid false tripping in motors, transformers, and compressors. Furthermore, the neutral conductor is also disconnected in the event of a fault. This ensures complete isolation.
Furthermore, the PLSM-C6/1N-MW offers a breaking capacity of 10 kA according to IEC/EN 60898-1. Additionally, energy limiting class 3 ensures minimized energy pass-through. This provides optimal protection for downstream cables and devices. And you benefit from the proven Eaton xPole quality.
The Eaton PLSM-C6/1N-MW miniature circuit breaker occupies 1.5 DIN rail modules (26.3 mm²). It is more compact than two separate circuit breakers. It also accepts conductor cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm² and can be expanded with additional components.
