Eaton PLHT-25-V miniature circuit breaker – 25A with industrial breaking capacity
The Eaton PLHT-25-V miniature circuit breaker (MCB) protects circuits with a current of 25 amps and a breaking capacity of 25 kA. This provides a significantly higher level of protection than standard MCBs. Therefore, it is designed for industrial environments and installations with high short-circuit currents. You can rely on its dependable protection.
The tripping characteristic of this switch is similar to characteristic curve D. This allows it to tolerate very high inrush currents. Consequently, it is particularly suitable for transformers, welding equipment, and large motors. Furthermore, it is tested and approved according to IEC/EN 60947-2, the industry standard for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear.
The high breaking capacity of 25 kA is the key advantage of the PLHT series. Short-circuit currents near transformers can easily exceed 10 kA. Furthermore, energy limiting class 3 protects against excessive let-through energy, ensuring the safety of sensitive downstream equipment.
The Eaton PLHT-25-V miniature circuit breaker is mounted on a DIN rail. It has a width of 27 mm and can accommodate conductor cross-sections from 2.5 to 50 mm². It is also expandable with additional components.
