Eaton FAZ-C13/1 Miniature Circuit Breaker 1-Pole C-Curve 13 A 278559

Protect electrical circuits from overload and short-circuit damage with the Eaton FAZ-C13/1 miniature circuit breaker. This 1-pole MCB is rated for 13 A with a C tripping characteristic, making it suitable for loads with moderate inrush currents such as motors, lighting, and socket outlets in residential and commercial installations.

Who is it for

Electricians, panel builders, and facility maintenance teams who need reliable overcurrent protection in distribution boards and control panels. The FAZ-C13/1 fits standard DIN rail mounting and occupies just one module width, simplifying installation and space planning.

Tips

When selecting a miniature circuit breaker, ensure the tripping characteristic matches the load profile. C-curve breakers are ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as small motors and fluorescent lighting. For purely resistive loads like heaters, a B-curve may be more appropriate.
