Why choose it

Eaton’s PXL series is trusted for its robust construction and precise thermal-magnetic protection. The B-curve trips quickly when moderate overloads occur, making it an ideal choice for general-purpose wiring in homes and light commercial environments. With a 6 kA breaking capacity, it handles common short-circuit conditions with confidence. The compact 1-module width saves space on DIN rails, enabling neat, efficient distribution boards.

Ideal use cases

• Lighting circuits
• Socket outlets in residential and light commercial premises
• Control circuits requiring fast overload response
• General protection for appliances and small transformers

Good to know

This breaker supports both solid and stranded conductors up to 25 mm² and 16 mm² respectively, providing flexibility during installation. The IP20 terminal protection keeps fingers safe, while the front offers IP40 when installed in a suitable enclosure. Operating from -25 °C to +75 °C, it performs reliably in demanding environments. Always follow local electrical regulations and ensure correct termination when installing.
