278555 FAZ-C6/1, Eaton xEffect MCB, 1P, 6A Curve C, 230V AC, 60V DC, 10 kA Breaking Capacity

Eaton Miniature Circuit Breakers (MCBs) - FAZ Series

The FAZ series of miniature circuit breakers (MCBs) from Eatons xEffect range has a current limiting design providing fast short-circuit interruption that reduces the let-through electrical energy and overload currents that can damage the circuit.

Ideally suited to control circuits and electrical distribution boards the FAZ series of MCBs offer a wide range of diverse protection characteristics, protecting your electrical equipment against overload damage. For additional safety, the MCB breaker cannot be defeated by holding the handle in the ON position, these MCBs are also finger proof and have a trip-free mechanism.

These MCBs have both a thermal and electromagnetic release, with rated currents of 0.16 A up to 63 A and a switching capacity of 15kA or 10kA depending on the device type.

The FAZ series includes miniature circuit breakers, interlocks, busbars and snap-on accessories including auxiliaries and tripping modules.

Features and Benefits

• Thermal-magnetic overcurrent protection
• Power to the miniature circuit breakers can be fed from the line or load side
• Clear indication of contact position via front switch toggle
• Easy installation on DIN rail. MCB module width of only 17.5 mm (per pole)
• Six levels of short-circuit protection, categorized by Type B, C, D, K, S and Z curves
• Small modular width of the device and accessories saves space in the panel or equipment, which can lead to cost savings
• Available in single pole up to 4 pole
• Dual rating for IEC 60947-2 standard
• MCB Module widths: 1P 17.5mm, 2P 35mm and 3P 52.5mm

FAZ-C*/* & FAZ-S*/* = IEC/EN60947-2

IEC 60947-2 Relates to Low Voltage Circuit Breakers for use in industrial and similar installations. In the UK these are traditionally known as miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), moulded case circuit breakers
(MCCBs) and also air circuit breakers (ACBs).

Eaton xEffect Mini Circuit Breaker, 230V, 6A - FAZ Series - 278555 FAZ-C6/1

Safeguard against short circuits with this robust mini circuit breaker (MCB) from Eaton's xEffect range. It cuts power to circuits when there's a fault, preventing harm to operators and damage to equipment. A voltage rating of 230V and current rating of 6A make it suitable for use with low-power to medium-power systems. The unit has a tough thermoplastic housing that offers durability and wear resistance, so it's a practical choice for industrial environments. As it's also corrosion-resistant, you can be sure it won't decay due to rust. A breaking capacity of 10kA means the MCB performs reliably across a broad current range without damage or arcing. You'll find it used in switchgears and electrical control panels.

Features & Benefits

• Wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C for use in harsh environments
• IP20 (ingress protection) rating to withstand solid objects up to 12mm in size
• Compact dimensions of 80 (length) x 17.5 (width) x 73.5mm (depth) for systems with limited space

What's the mechanical life of this component?

This circuit breaker has a mechanical life of 10,000 operations so you can enjoy reliable long-term performance.
