Eaton PKN6 Series RCBO Circuit Breaker

Description

The Eaton PKN6-16/1N/C/003-A-BL is a high-quality Residual Current Circuit Breaker with Overcurrent protection (RCBO). This device combines the functionality of a residual current device (RCD) and a miniature circuit breaker (MCB) in a single compact unit. It provides comprehensive protection for electrical circuits against short-circuits, overloads, and earth fault currents, ensuring the safety of both personnel and equipment.

FAQ

A Type AC RCBO is designed to trip on sinusoidal AC fault currents only. This Type A RCBO, however, trips on both sinusoidal AC and pulsating DC fault currents, offering broader protection for modern electronic equipment.

The 'C' refers to the tripping characteristic. C-curve breakers are designed to trip between 5 and 10 times the rated current. They are suitable for general applications with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting, sockets, and small motors.

This is a single-phase (1 Pole + Neutral) device and is designed to protect a single-phase circuit. For a three-phase system, you would typically use a 4-pole (3P+N) RCBO or individual RCBOs for each phase if required.
