DOEPKE DLS 6I B16-1 RT 6kA interruptor automático 1 polo 16A tipo B 6kA 230V AC 9860101

Electrical circuits face constant risks from overloads and short circuits, which can lead to equipment damage, fires, and costly downtime. The DOEPKE DLS 6I B16-1 RT 6kA miniature circuit breaker (MCB) provides reliable protection for residential and commercial installations, automatically disconnecting faulty circuits before damage occurs. Its compact 1-module width saves valuable space in distribution boards, while the 6 kA breaking capacity ensures safe interruption of high fault currents.

Who is it for

This MCB is ideal for electricians, panel builders, and facility managers who need a dependable, space-saving protection device for lighting and socket circuits. It suits both new installations and retrofits in residential, office, and light industrial environments where 16 A circuits with Type B tripping are specified.

Tips

Always verify that the short-circuit current at the installation point does not exceed 6 kA. For mixed loads with high inrush currents, consider a Type C or D curve. Ensure proper torque on screw terminals to avoid overheating. This MCB is not suitable for DC circuits; use a DC-rated breaker if required.
