Eaton PXL-B6/3 Miniature Circuit Breaker 6A 3-Pole B-Characteristic 10kA

The Eaton PXL-B6/3 is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) with a rated current of 6 A and B tripping characteristic, engineered for reliable protection of electrical circuits against overload and short-circuit. Its 10 kA breaking capacity and energy limiting class 3 ensure robust performance in residential and commercial installations.

Advantages

This MCB offers precise protection with a B-curve, ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents such as lighting and socket outlets. The 3-pole configuration provides simultaneous disconnection of all phases, enhancing safety in three-phase systems. With a mechanical life of 20,000 operations and electrical life of 10,000 operations, it delivers long-term durability. The device is designed for DIN rail mounting (EN 60715) with a compact width of 3 modules (52.5 mm), optimizing space in distribution boards. Terminals accommodate solid conductors up to 25 mm² and flexible up to 16 mm², allowing versatile wiring. Operating temperature range from -25°C to +75°C ensures reliability in harsh environments.
