6. Tips
Select Correct Standard: Ensure 6kA rating to IEC/EN 60947-2 (or other relevant standard) meets installation needs.
Current Rating Limit: 6kA typically certified up to 25A per IEC 60947-2. Verify certifications if higher currents at 6kA are needed.
Mounting: Designed specifically for standard DIN rail and Mini Rail Mounting.
Curve Selection: Choose Curve 1 (Long delay) or Curve 2 (Medium delay) based on the type of load (e.g., Curve 2 for general circuits, Curve 1 potentially for circuits with higher inrush).
Wiring & Torque: Use appropriate wire size (0.75-25mm² IEC) and apply the 2.5 Nm torque specification for secure connections.
Temperature Advantage: Use advantageously in panels subject to high operating temperatures or wide ambient swings where thermal breaker performance might be compromised.
Isolation: Use the breaker as a reliable means to isolate the circuit for maintenance.
