CBI 10A 1P+N 6kA Circuit Breaker C2 D/M

• The CBI Electric QA(13) 1P+N Miniature Circuit Breaker offers combined circuit protection and neutral switching in an ultra-compact, 26mm wide (2x13mm) dual-mount housing.
• Utilizing precise hydraulic-magnetic technology, it delivers temperature-independent tripping (-40°C to +85°C) and a Medium (Curve 2) time delay characteristic suitable for general loads.
• This breaker protects the Line conductor with a 6kA interrupting capacity (to IEC/EN 60947-2 @ 240Vac) while simultaneously switching the Neutral conductor.
• Ideal for applications requiring neutral isolation for safety or specific code compliance within space-constrained panels, this QA(13) series breaker (black shell) fits both DIN and Mini rails and complies with key international standards.

Technical Specifications

 Ideal Use

• Final Distribution Boards: Protecting single-phase circuits (lighting, outlets, appliances) where switching the neutral is required or desired for complete isolation.

• Industrial Control Panels: Protecting 240V control circuits or single-phase equipment feeds needing L+N isolation in high-density layouts.

• Commercial Installations: Branch circuit protection for single-phase loads requiring 6kA breaking capacity and neutral switching.

• IT / Datacom Racks: Protecting power feeds to equipment where both line and neutral disconnection is preferred.

• Applications with RCDs: Often used downstream of Residual Current Devices where full isolation is necessary.

Tips

• Configuration: This is specifically a 1 Pole + Neutral device (protection on L, switching on L+N). Do not use for 2-phase (L1/L2) 415V applications.

• Interrupting Capacity: Ensure the 6kA rating meets the installation's prospective fault current level at 240 Vac.

• Curve 2: Suitable for general loads; assess load characteristics to confirm suitability (vs. Curve 1 for high inrush).

• Mounting: Use the Dual Mount feature for installation flexibility on either DIN or Mini rail.

• Wiring: Connect Line to the protected pole and Neutral to the switched neutral pole. Use 0.75-25mm² wire (IEC), torque terminals to 2.5 Nm (IEC).

• Temperature Stability: Leverage the hydraulic-magnetic design in environments with varying temperatures.

• Isolation: Provides safe isolation of both Line and Neutral conductors for maintenance.
