C16 /1 Circuit Breaker Miniature Circuit Breaker C16 A Fuse Automatic 1-Pole / 4435 | Kanlux S.A

Kanlux KS6 C16/1 Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) 1-pole 16 A Overview

The Kanlux KS6 C16/1 miniature circuit breaker is a single-pole automatic circuit breaker with C-tripping characteristics and a rated current of 16 A. It protects electrical lines and connected loads against overload and short circuits and is suitable for appropriately designed electrical distribution boards, sub-distribution boards, and control cabinets.

With a breaking capacity of 6 kA at 230/400 V AC, a compact design occupying only one module width, and mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail, the C16 circuit breaker can be integrated into compatible installations in a space-saving manner.

C16 tripping characteristic for suitable circuits

The miniature circuit breaker has a Type C tripping characteristic. This version is suitable for appropriately dimensioned circuits and loads where higher inrush currents can occur.

16 A rated current

With a rated current of 16 A, the circuit breaker is intended for electrical installations whose line dimensioning and connected loads are matched to this level of protection.

Protection against overload and short circuit

The C16 miniature circuit breaker serves to protect electrical lines and loads from the effects of overload and short circuits. In the event of correspondingly high currents, the circuit breaker interrupts the circuit according to its tripping characteristic.

6 kA breaking capacity and compact DIN design

The breaking capacity is 6 kA at 230/400 V AC. The miniature circuit breaker requires only one module width and is mounted on a standardized 35 mm DIN rail.

Typical areas of application

• Electrical distribution and sub-distribution boards
• Residential and building installations
• Commercial electrical installations
• Control cabinets and distribution boxes
• Circuits with higher inrush currents
• Protection of electrical lines against overload and short circuit
• Replacement for technically compatible C16 miniature circuit breakers
