EATON HN-B16/3 Miniature Circuit Breaker 16A 3-Pole Type B 6kA

The EATON HN-B16/3 is a high-quality miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in electrical installations. With a rated current of 16 A and 3 poles, this Type B MCB ensures reliable protection for residential and commercial applications. Its compact 3-module design (52.5 mm) fits standard DIN rail mountings, making it easy to integrate into distribution boards.

Advantages

This MCB offers robust protection with a breaking capacity of 6 kA according to EN 60898-1, ensuring safety under fault conditions. The red/green contact position indicator provides clear visual status, simplifying maintenance. With high electrical and mechanical endurance (over 10,000 and 20,000 operations respectively), it delivers long-lasting performance.
