ETI ETIMAT 10 miniature circuit breaker 1P 16A D 10kA (2151716)

This single-pole miniature circuit breaker from the ETIMAT 10 series by ETI is designed to protect electrical circuits against overloads and short-circuit currents. It is intended for use in distribution boards in residential, commercial, and small industrial installations, where individual lines for lighting, socket groups, or other single-phase loads require dependable disconnection under fault conditions. The device is rated for a current of 16 A and features a D tripping characteristic. This curve allows the breaker to withstand higher inrush currents without unnecessary tripping, which makes it suitable for circuits with electric motors, transformers, and other loads that draw short-term current peaks at start-up. The breaking capacity of 10 kA means the breaker can interrupt high fault currents, which is especially important in networks with increased short-circuit levels. The breaker operates in AC circuits with a rated voltage of 230/400 V and a frequency of 50/60 Hz. Its rated impulse withstand voltage, Uimp, is 6 kV, indicating resistance to short-duration voltage surges. Conductor connection is supported for cross-sections from 1 mm² to 25 mm², which facilitates installation in standard wiring schemes and integration into common switchboard assemblies. The product complies with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards, which define the requirements for low-voltage circuit breakers. This makes the device suitable for applications where both electrical protection and switching performance must meet established technical criteria. ETIMAT 10 is used as a basic protective element for line protection in switchgear systems, helping maintain circuit safety in everyday and professional electrical installations.
