Circuit breakers

PLS6/M xPole Miniature Circuit Breaker

The PLS6 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) is a protective device that’s equipped with both a thermal and an electromagnetic release. The former responds in the event of an overload, while the latter offers protection against short circuits. The 1- and 2-pole PLS6 devices for DC applications are available with rated currents from 1 A to 50 A and can withstand rated voltages of up to 250 V DC. The switching capacity is 10 kA. The PLS6 is busbar compatible, and double life/claw terminals are available at the top as well as at the bottom for easy mounting.

The most commonly used type of overcurrent protection device

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

Eaton’s PLS6 and PLSM miniature circuit breakers are type-tested and approved according to 60898-1 (VDE 0641-11). Part 1 of IEC/EN 60898 applies to AC MCBs if the rated voltage between the phases does not exceed 440 V, the rated current does not exceed 125 A and the rated breaking capacity does not exceed 25 000 A.

The right MCB for every application

Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic B are the standard MCB type used for lighting and socket circuits. For circuits with high peak currents such as motor circuits devices with tripping characteristic C are used. Circuit breakers with tripping characteristic D are used for circuits with inductive and capacitive loads, such as solenoid valves, transformers or motors.
