Eaton PLSM-C13-MW miniature circuit breaker – 13A with characteristic curve C
The Eaton PLSM-C13-MW miniature circuit breaker provides reliable protection for 13-amp circuits. It features a C-type tripping characteristic, making it ideal for circuits with inductive loads such as motors, transformers, and compressor systems.
Characteristic curve C tolerates higher inrush currents than characteristic curve B. It only triggers magnetically at 5 to 10 times the rated current. Consequently, you avoid unwanted tripping with devices that have high starting currents. This ensures uninterrupted operation.
Furthermore, the PLSM-C13-MW delivers a breaking capacity of 10 kA according to IEC/EN 60898-1. In addition, energy limiting class 3 ensures minimized energy leakage. The rated insulation voltage of 440 V also protects against voltage breakdowns. Thus, completely safe operation is guaranteed.
The Eaton PLSM-C13-MW miniature circuit breaker is quick and easy to install. It snaps onto any 35 mm DIN rail and occupies only 1 DIN rail module. It can handle conductor cross-sections from 1 to 25 mm² and can be expanded with various accessories.
