EUROPA 2 Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker, 230V AC - 40A

The EUROPA EUC2P series 2 Pole Miniature Circuit Breaker offers reliable and precise protection for electrical circuits in a wide range of applications. Engineered for safety and durability, this compact device mounts directly onto a standard DIN rail, making installation straightforward and efficient.

It provides robust protection against two primary electrical faults: overloads and short circuits. In the event of an overload, where the current exceeds the rated value for a prolonged period, the breaker will trip to prevent damage to wiring and connected equipment. For sudden short-circuit faults, its high breaking capacity ensures a safe and rapid disconnection of the circuit.

This double-pole breaker is rated for 230V AC systems and is perfectly suited for protecting final circuits within residential properties, commercial buildings, and light industrial environments. Its design makes it ideal for installation in consumer units (fuse boxes), where it can safeguard individual lighting circuits, socket outlets, and other general-purpose electrical loads.

A key feature is its suitability for controlling inductive loads that have a moderate inrush current. This includes applications such as small motors, transformers, and fluorescent lighting fittings, where the initial surge of current when switching on needs to be managed without causing nuisance tripping.

Constructed to meet high electrical standards, the breaker features a 10kA breaking capacity and a IP20 protection class, indicating it is protected against solid objects larger than 12.5mm but not against water. Its slim, modular design allows for optimal use of space within an enclosure, and its clear switching mechanism provides a positive indication of its status.
