Eaton PKN6-16/1N/B/003-A-MW RCBO Circuit Breaker

Description

The Eaton PKN6-16/1N/B/003-A-MW is a high-performance RCBO (Residual Current Breaker with Overcurrent protection) from the proven Moeller series. This device combines the functionality of a residual current device (RCD) and a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) into a single, space-saving unit. It provides comprehensive protection for single-phase circuits against short-circuits, overloads, and earth fault currents. Ideal for ensuring safety and reliability in a wide range of electrical installations.

FAQ

Question?
What is the difference between a Type A and a Type AC RCBO?

Answer

A Type AC RCBO is designed to trip on sinusoidal AC residual currents. This Eaton Type A RCBO provides the same protection but also trips on pulsating DC residual currents, which can be generated by modern electronic equipment like dimmers, power supplies, or washing machines. This offers a broader range of protection.

Answer

Yes, this 1P+N (single pole + neutral) RCBO is designed to protect a single-phase circuit. It can be used within a larger three-phase distribution board to provide individual protection for a single-phase load, such as a lighting circuit or a standard wall outlet. It does not provide three-phase protection on its own.

Answer

The 'B16' indicates two key characteristics. The 'B' refers to the tripping curve for overcurrent protection, which is standard for residential and light commercial applications, tripping at 3 to 5 times the rated current. The '16' signifies the rated nominal current, meaning the device is designed to continuously carry up to 16 Amperes without tripping.
