278546 FAZ-C1/1, Eaton xEffect MCB, 1P, 1A Curve C, 240V AC, 48V 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

Standards

IEC 898; BS/EN60-898; EN50 022/DIN46277-3 (BS5584).
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, 1A, 240V AC / 48V DC - FAZ Series - 278546 FAZ-C1/1

Keep your electrical circuit safe with this single-pole MCB (miniature circuit breaker) from Eaton. It has the highest current-limiting class of 3 to minimise energy let-through and keep cables protected. Using thermal and electromagnetic technology, it detects short-circuits and overcurrents and swiftly breaks the circuit to prevent damage to equipment. This MCB is suitable for use in applications prone to high inrush and peak currents such as industrial switchgear or commercial appliances. It has a simple DIN rail clip and labelled terminals that make it simple to connect.

• Power can be fed from the line or load side to give you flexibility in wiring
• Space-saving design with a narrow width of 17.5mm makes it easy to install on a compact rail
• Long lifespan of more than 10,000 operations makes it a durable safety solution

What's a type C tripping characteristic?

A type C tripping characteristic means the breaker disconnects the electrical circuit when the current is between 5 and 10 times higher than its rated value. This MCB has a rated current of 1A.
