Eaton MCB, 16A Current Rating, 230V Rated AC Voltage - 264703 PLG4-B16/1N


This miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from Eaton is designed for efficient electrical circuit protection, featuring a current rating of 16 A and a 1 pole plus neutral (1+N) configuration. With a compact design, it measures 17.5mm in width and 86mm in length, making it suitable for installation on DIN rails. The breaker ensures reliable operation with a tripping characteristic classified as Type B, providing essential safety measures in residential and commercial applications.

Features & Benefits


• Complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 for reliable switching capacity
• Boasts a breaking capacity of 4.5kA for enhanced safety
• Maintains performance at ambient temperatures between -25°C and 75°C
• Supports toggle switch operation for user-friendly reset functionality
• Designed specifically for switchgear applications in homes and businesses
• Connectable conductors range from 1mm² to 25mm² for versatile installation

Applications


• Suitable for protecting circuits in residential switchgear
• Ideal for commercial electrical installations requiring circuit protection
• Used for installations in environments with varying temperature ranges
• Effective in both single-phase and neutral

What specifications should be considered for installing this device?


It is essential to ensure a suitable DIN rail for mounting and confirm that the ambient temperature is within -25°C to 75°C for optimum performance. The device supports a rated operational voltage of 230V, making it appropriate for standard residential installations.

How does the tripping characteristic impact its operation?


The Type B tripping characteristic allows this MCB to trip in response to moderate overloads and short-circuits, making it particularly effective in typical residential and commercial environments, preventing potential damage caused by electrical faults.

What is the significance of the breaking capacity?


The breaking capacity of 4.5kA indicates the maximum fault current the device can safely interrupt without causing damage, ensuring the protection of the electrical system against high fault currents. This level is crucial for ensuring a safe operating environment.
