259132 Eaton Moeller series FAZ miniature circuit breaker FAZ-C16/2-NA, 2-pole, C-characteristic, 16 A, 240/415 V AC, 10 kA

The Eaton Moeller series FAZ-C16/2-NA two-pole overcurrent circuit breaker provides reliable protection for conductors and circuits in low-voltage installations, in accordance with stringent IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 standards. The apparatus offers a C-characteristic trip characteristic, a high short-circuit capacity of 10 kA, and a wide range of applications in single-phase and three-phase circuits.

• Rated current of 16 A and characteristic C for protecting consumer circuits with medium-level inrush currents (motors, lighting, power supplies).
• Two-pole design with complete disconnection, suitable for disconnecting the phase and neutral conductors.
• Short-circuit capacity of 10 kA at 240/415 V AC in accordance with IEC/EN 60898-1 provides a high level of safety in installations.
• Capable of pLrimming, accepting side and front accessories (auxiliary contacts, triggers), and comb supply.
• Clear contact position indicator and can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail.
• Compliance with IEC/EN 60898-1, IEC/EN 60947-2 standards and certifications meets the requirements of residential and commercial applications.

Purpose and application range

The Eaton Moeller series FAZ-C16/2-NA overcurrent circuit breaker is designed to protect conductors, lines and loads from the effects of overloads and short circuits in AC circuits. It is characterized by tripping characteristic C, which allows it to be used in circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as in general installations in residential and public buildings, lighting circuits, plug sockets and small drives. The apparatus can be used in single-phase and three-phase systems (in multi-pole configurations) with voltage ratings up to 240/415 V AC. Thanks to its compatibility with a wide range of accessories, the FAZ series facilitates functional expansion of switchgear, such as status signaling, remote triggering or mechanical interlocks.

Construction, installation and expLoatation

The FAZ-C16/2-NA is a two-module unit for mounting on a standard 35mm DIN rail, with screw terminals suitable for copper conductors of the appropriate cross-section. The integrated contact position indicator allows easy control of the on or off status, and the appropriately shaped switching lever facilitates manual operation. The design of the device allows the use of rail (comb) bridges to quickly supply a larger number of circuit breakers in the switchgear, which reduces installation time and minimizes the possibility of wiring errors. The apparatus is adapted for use with side-mounted or front-mounted auxiliary elements, such as auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts or rise and undervoltage triggers, which allows further integration with control and monitoring systems. The circuit breaker is designed to meet the requirements for touch safety and resistance to environmental factors encountered in typical apLications of buildings.

Safety, compliance and performance

The device meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60898-1 for overcurrent circuit breakers used in domestic installations and IEC/EN 60947-2 for power circuit breakers in industrial applications, which guarantees a high level of safety and operational reliability. The rated short-circuit capacity of the apparatus is 10 kA at 240/415 V AC, so it can be used in circuits with relatively high levels of short-circuit current, with appropriate selection conditions. Tripping characteristic C provides triggering in the range of 5-10 times the rated current in the short-circuit circuit, which allows tolerating typical inrush currents, while providing effective protection against short circuits. The device is designed to operate in standard climatic and temperature conditions specified in the manufacturer's documentation, with appropriate derating at elevated ambient temperatures. The insulation materials used and the design of the enclosure ensure arc resistance and safe dissipation of short-circuit energy, minimizing the risk of damage to the installation.

The Eaton Moeller series FAZ-C16/2-NA double-pole overcurrent circuit breaker is a robust and flexible solution for circuit protection in modern electrical installations. The combination of C characteristics, 10 kA short-circuit capacity and compatibility with FAZ series accessories ensures a high level of safety and easy integration in residential and commercial switchgear.
