Eaton PLG6 PLG6 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1-Pole, 40 A, Type C, 230 V ac AC, 10 kA Breaking Capacity

This miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is designed for both residential and commercial applications. The Eaton MCB features a 40A current rating and operates on a single pole plus neutral configuration. With a robust breaking capacity of 10kA, this DIN rail circuit breaker ensures reliable electrical safety in various installations. Measuring 17.5mm in width and 86mm in length, it supports straightforward mounting on DIN rails, making it an ideal choice for electricians seeking an efficient solution for circuit protection.

• Equipped with a Type C tripping characteristic for reliable protection

• Used for protection in residential switchgear systems

The Type C tripping characteristic allows the circuit breaker to handle moderate overloads while providing protection against short circuits, making it suitable for applications with inductive loads.

A breaking capacity of 10kA indicates that the MCB can safely interrupt short-circuit currents up to this rating without failure, ensuring circuit integrity and preventing fire hazards.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to ensure proper space on the DIN rail for heat dissipation and to follow the correct guidelines for conductor termination and securing to maintain effectiveness in circuit protection.
