Eaton PLHT-63-V miniature circuit breaker – 63A top class with 25 kA
The Eaton PLHT-63-V miniature circuit breaker is the most powerful model in the PLHT-V series for single-pole circuits. With a rated current of 63 amps and a breaking capacity of 25 kA, it protects even the most demanding circuits. Therefore, it is designed for industrial main distribution boards and large loads, providing maximum protection in challenging environments.
The tripping characteristic is similar to characteristic curve D. This allows the switch to tolerate extremely high inrush currents. Consequently, it is suitable for power transformers, welding lines, and large industrial drives. Furthermore, it is approved according to IEC/EN 60947-2. This industrial standard offers a higher testing standard than the household standard IEC/EN 60898-1.
The 25 kA breaking capacity is a key advantage, as short-circuit currents in industrial distribution systems can far exceed 10 kA. Furthermore, energy limiting class 3 provides additional protection, ensuring safe disconnection even in the event of severe faults. Additionally, the 440 V insulation voltage protects against voltage breakdowns.
The Eaton PLHT-63-V miniature circuit breaker is mounted on a DIN rail. It is 27 mm wide and accepts conductor cross-sections from 2.5 to 50 mm², making it suitable even for high-performance supply lines.
