278869 FAZ-C10/3, Eaton xEffect MCB, 3P, 10A Curve C, 400V AC, 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

Standards

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 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 10A, 400V AC - FAZ Series - 278869 FAZ-C10/3

Easily install or add protection to your high-power electrical circuits with this MCB (miniature circuit breaker) from Eaton. It's a safety device that uses both thermal and electromagnetic release functions to protect against overloads and short circuits. It has a DIN rail mounting clip and is compatible with standard busbars, so it fits universally on boards and panels. Captive screw terminals and a labelled front make it easy to install. This 3-pole circuit breaker can be used in 3-phase industrial power and distribution systems.

• Highest current limiting class of 3 to maximise cable protection
• Type C tripping characteristic means that circuits are quickly broken when the current is 5 to 10 times higher than 10A to prevent overloads
• Simple red and green indicator colours let you know the status of the breaker, making it easy to use

What other safety features does this MCB have?

This MCB has recessed terminals to prevent fingers accidentally touching the contact points. In addition, the toggles can't be held in the 'on' position to override a fault.

How durable is this MCB?

This MCB has a long lifespan of more than 10,000 operations so it's a durable choice for commercial and industrial use.
