FAZ6 xEffect Miniature Circuit Breaker

The FAZ6 miniature circuit breaker series provides reliable protection against overloads and short circuits through its thermal and electromagnetic trip unit.
Designed in accordance with IEC/EN 60947‑2 and IEC/EN 60898‑1, the FAZ6 range combines flexibility and performance for a wide range of applications. It is available in 1‑, 2‑, 3‑ and 4‑pole versions, as well as 1+N and 3+N configurations.
With rated currents from 0.5 A to 63 A and a breaking capacity of 10 kA (IEC/EN 60947‑2) and 6 kA (IEC/EN 60898‑1), FAZ6 supports both industrial and standard installation requirements.
Robust terminal design and a 3‑position DIN rail clip enable fast installation, secure connections, and easy removal.

Reliable cable protection

MCBs protect cables against damage due to overload and short circuits: In the event of dangerously high currents, the circuit breaker’s bimetallic thermal release will disconnect the power supply. In the event of a short circuit, the electromagnetic release will disconnect the power supply in a timely manner.

A design that is standard-compliant and quality-tested

Circuit breakers that fall within the scope of IEC/EN 60898-1 are primarily intended for use in domestic installations and are designed to be operated by non-experts. IEC/EN 60947-2 applies to circuit breakers in circuits with rated voltages up to 1,000 V AC, or up to 1,500 V DC.

The right MCB for every situation

Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic B are the standard MCB type used for lighting and socket circuits. For circuits with high inrush and peak currents (e.g. motors and luminaire banks) devices with tripping characteristic C are used. Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic D are used for circuits with inductive and capacitive loads (solenoid valves, transformers etc.).
