Eaton PLI-B16/3 Disjuntor magnetotérmico tipo B 16 A 3 polos 101314

Unlike many breakers that only provide basic overload protection, the Eaton PLI-B16/3 combines a 16 A rated current with a 3-pole design and Type B tripping characteristic, making it particularly suitable for protecting circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as those found in residential and light commercial installations.

Highlights

• 16 A rated current and 3-pole configuration for three-phase circuits
• Type B tripping characteristic: magnetic trip between 3 and 5 times rated current
• Short-circuit breaking capacity of 4.5 kA for reliable fault interruption
• Compact DIN rail mounting with 3 module width (52.5 mm)
• Wide operating temperature range from -25 to +75 °C

In daily use

The PLI-B16/3 installs quickly on standard DIN rails and features screw terminals that accept conductors from 1 to 25 mm². Its energy limiting class 3 ensures effective limitation of let-through energy during short circuits, reducing stress on downstream equipment. The front protection degree of IP40 and terminal protection of IP20 provide adequate safety for typical distribution board environments.
