Eaton Plexo PLG4 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, 16 A, Type B, 230 V ac AC, 4.5 kA Breaking Capacity

This miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from Eaton is designed for efficient electrical circuit protection, featuring a current rating of 16 A and a 1 pole plus neutral (1+N) configuration. With a compact design, it measures 17.5mm in width and 86mm in length, making it suitable for installation on DIN rails. The breaker ensures reliable operation with a tripping characteristic classified as Type B, providing essential safety measures in residential and commercial applications.

• Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 for reliable switching capacity

• Suitable for protecting circuits in residential switchgear

It is essential to ensure a suitable DIN rail for mounting and confirm that the ambient temperature is within -25°C to 75°C for optimum performance. The device supports a rated operational voltage of 230V, making it appropriate for standard residential installations.

The Type B tripping characteristic allows this MCB to trip in response to moderate overloads and short-circuits, making it particularly effective in typical residential and commercial environments, preventing potential damage caused by electrical faults.

The breaking capacity of 4.5kA indicates the maximum fault current the device can safely interrupt without causing damage, ensuring the protection of the electrical system against high fault currents. This level is crucial for ensuring a safe operating environment.
