Circuit breakers in the FAZ series are available in 6 kA and 10 kA ratings. These miniature circuit breakers come in single, double, and triple pole configurations with thermal and magnetic tripping. They are designed for DIN rail mounting and are available with three tripping characteristics. The optional switch-off capacity is based on the characteristic: 6 kA for the low-cost series or 10 kA for full ratings.

The double-break contact system features an internal spark quenching chamber and a storing spring mechanism with free release. There is a clear indication of contact position via a frontal switch lever, and the terminals accommodate wire sizes from 0.75 to 16 mm². These circuit breakers are compatible with DIN rails, in accordance with EN50 022/DIN 46277-3, and comply with design regulations B, C, and S according to the new international standard IEC 898, BS/EN60-898.

Curve B ensures sort-for instantaneous tripping at currents 3 to 5 times the nominal value, safeguarding circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as incandescent lamps, heating loads, households, and smaller buildings. Curve C allows immediate release at currents 5 to 10 times the rated value, suitable for circuits with larger inrush currents, like industrial plants, larger buildings, motors, and fluorescent lamps.

Curve S has a short-circuit response threshold from 13 to 17 times the rated current and an overload threshold from 1.05 to 1.3 times the rated current, making it ideal for protecting control circuits where very large inrush currents are expected, such as transformers.
