Product description
The Commel miniature circuit breaker 16A 3P C, 6kA is designed for reliable protection of three-phase electrical circuits in residential and light commercial installations. With its C tripping characteristic, it reacts quickly in fault conditions, helping to disconnect the circuit in the event of overloads or short circuits.
This type C breaker is particularly suitable for inductive loads, such as washing machines, dishwashers, air conditioners, refrigerators and similar appliances, where higher inrush currents can occur at start-up.
Key features
- Rated current: 16A
- Poles: 3-pole (3P)
- Tripping characteristic: C (for inductive loads)
- Breaking capacity: 6kA
- Width: 3 modules
- Mounting: 35 mm DIN rail
- Busbar compatibility: can be used with fork or pin type phase busbars
- Operating ambient temperature: -5°C to +40°C
- Integrated labelling window for clear circuit identification
- Coloured status indicator for easy visual check of ON/OFF state
Wiring and installation
- Suitable conductor cross-sections:
- Up to 25A: up to 16 mm² flexible or 25 mm² rigid
- From 32A to 63A: up to 25 mm² flexible or 35 mm² rigid
The breaker is designed for quick installation on standard DIN rails in distribution boards. Its modular width and busbar compatibility make it easy to combine with other protection and control devices in the same row.
Application areas
- Protection of household three-phase circuits
- Small workshops and light commercial installations
- Circuits with inductive consumers (motors, compressors, pumps, HVAC units)
By choosing this Commel miniature circuit breaker, you get a compact, clearly labelled and easy-to-operate protective device that integrates smoothly into modern electrical distribution systems.
