Miniature circuit breakers (MCBs), colloquially known as fuses, switch off a circuit in the event of an overcurrent or short circuit, thus protecting electrical cables from damage. The DLS 6 series of miniature circuit breakers is characterized by a large selection of different types for a wide range of applications. In addition to switches for residential and commercial buildings, it also contains switches for industrial use. The low height offers plenty of space for wiring and the large terminal area, as well as the option of using standard wiring rails, ensures easy processing. The series also has a large, hinged label window for labels and a clearly labeled display of the operating status. A variety of additional devices, such as undervoltage or shunt releases as well as auxiliary and fault signaling switches, make universal use of the miniature circuit breakers possible. The DLS 6h version for tradesmen is characterized by a rated switching capacity of 6 kA designed for distribution and final circuits and by a large selection of rated currents in characteristics B and C. Switches with tripping characteristic B ensure standard protection for lighting and socket circuits. Properties: - Rated switching capacity for use in residential construction, - Clamping yoke terminals with a wide clamping cross-section range for rail and cable wiring on both connection sides, - Single-, two- and three-pole versions, 1+N, 3+N, - staggered rated current series from 1 A - 63 A - special quick fastening for removing several circuit breakers from the lower or upper rail assembly, - large, hinged labeling window for secure hold and protection of the label, - Use of commercially available wiring rails, - ON/OFF switch position indicator on the switch knob, - Accessories can be retrofitted on the right, - free labeling software Mounting type: - Quick fastening on mounting rail - Installation position as desired Areas of application: - Suitable for use in power supplies for residential buildings and purpose-built or commercial buildings
