ETI ETIMAT 6 miniature circuit breaker 1P 16A B 6kA (2111516)

The ETIMAT 6 miniature circuit breaker from ETI is designed to protect electrical circuits against overload and short circuit. It is used in distribution boards of residential, commercial, and small industrial installations where individual lighting circuits or socket groups need local protection. The 1-pole design makes it suitable for protecting a single phase conductor in single-phase networks. With a rated current of 16 A, this circuit breaker is intended for standard final circuits with moderate load. Tripping characteristic B indicates faster response to overloads and short-circuit currents in circuits without high inrush currents, which makes it appropriate for lighting circuits and general-purpose household lines. The breaking capacity of 6 kA allows the device to interrupt fault currents typical of low-voltage installations. The model is rated for AC operation at 230/400 V and 50/60 Hz, so it can be integrated into common low-voltage AC systems. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp of 6 kV indicates resistance to short-term voltage surges in the network. The connection range of 1 to 25 mm² supports widely used conductor cross-sections and simplifies installation in switchboards and distribution assemblies. ETIMAT 6 complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, confirming its suitability for low-voltage power distribution applications. As a modular protective device, it is installed in a distribution board to isolate a faulty line while keeping the rest of the installation operational. This makes it a practical choice for targeted protection of separate electrical branches in everyday electrical systems.
