Features and benefits:

• 10 kA breaking capacity at both 230 V and 400 V delivers strong short-circuit protection across common supply voltages
• Compact 1-module width (17.6 mm) maximizes usable space inside DIN rail distribution boards
• Current limiting class 3 reduces thermal and dynamic stress on downstream wiring and equipment during fault events
• Wide ambient temperature range (-25 °C to +75 °C) suits varied installation environments; note that each 1 °C rise reduces current carrying capacity by 0.5%
• Compatible with additional xPole accessories for flexible switchgear configuration

Applications:

• Residential distribution boards and consumer unit circuit protection
• Commercial switchgear panels and sub-distribution boards
• Protection of lighting, socket, and general power circuits
• DIN rail switchgear installations in residential and commercial buildings

Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1. Part of the Eaton Moeller series xPole family for residential and commercial switchgear.
