Eaton FAZ-B16/2 Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB), 2-Pole, 16 A, Type B, 230/400 V AC, 10 kA, DIN Rail 278734

The Eaton FAZ-B16/2 is a 2-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a rated current of 16 A and type B tripping characteristic, providing reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection for residential and commercial electrical installations. Its 10 kA breaking capacity and DIN rail mounting make it suitable for distribution boards and control panels.

Advantages

High breaking capacity of 10 kA ensures safe interruption of fault currents. The type B characteristic allows precise protection of circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and socket outlets. Screw terminals accommodate conductors up to 25 mm², ensuring secure connections. The compact 2-pole design saves space on the DIN rail while providing double-pole isolation.

Suitable for

• Protection of lighting and socket circuits in residential buildings
• Control circuits and small motors with low inrush currents
• Distribution boards and consumer units in commercial premises
• Applications requiring double-pole switching for enhanced safety
