ETI ETIMAT P10 circuit breaker 1P 10A C 10kA (1901028)

The ETIMAT P10 series automatic circuit breaker from ETI is intended for protecting electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. It is used in distribution boards of residential, administrative, and small commercial facilities, where individual lines need to be separated and disconnected automatically in the event of an abnormal operating condition. The single-pole design makes it suitable for protecting single-phase circuits, while the 10 A rated current allows use in groups with moderate load, such as lighting circuits and separate domestic lines. The C tripping characteristic indicates suitability for circuits with increased inrush currents. This is especially relevant for equipment with electric motors or other loads that may create short-term startup surges. The 10 kA breaking capacity enables the device to interrupt the circuit under significant short-circuit currents, which expands its application in networks with a higher expected fault current level. The breaker is designed for AC operation, with a rated voltage of 240 V AC and a frequency range of 50/60 Hz. Another important technical parameter is the rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 6 kV, which reflects the device’s resistance to short-duration voltage surges. This is relevant in electrical installations where transient overvoltages may occur during switching operations or due to lightning-related effects. The rated conductor cross-section of 1–25 mm² allows connection of a wide range of cables and conductors of the corresponding size, simplifying installation in panel equipment. The product complies with EN/IEC 60898, confirming its classification as a standard modular protective device for low-voltage networks.
