Circuit breaker VA 47-63, 1P 16A (C) 4.5kA PRIME

PRIME VA 47-63 1P 16A (C) 4.5 kA Circuit Breaker

⚡ PRIME VA 47-63 is a single-pole circuit breaker designed to protect electrical circuits against two major electrical hazards: overload and short circuit.

This model has a 16 A rated current and is suitable for installation in distribution boards in homes, apartments, offices, shops and other facilities.

🔧 Main specifications

• Series: VA 47-63
• Brand: PRIME
• Number of poles: 1P — single pole
• Rated current: 16 A
• Tripping characteristic: C
• Breaking capacity: 4.5 kA
• Purpose: protection of electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits
• Operating temperature: −40 to +50 °C

🛡 What does 4.5 kA mean?

4.5 kA indicates that the circuit breaker is designed to safely interrupt a prospective short-circuit current of up to 4,500 amperes under the specified operating conditions.

⚙ What does curve C mean?

The letter C indicates the circuit breaker's tripping characteristic. C-curve breakers tolerate short-duration starting currents and are widely used in typical residential and commercial electrical installations.

They are suitable for circuits supplying sockets, lighting and equipment with moderate starting currents.

✅ Advantages of PRIME VA 47-63

• protects wiring against overload;
• quickly disconnects the circuit in the event of a short circuit;
• compact single-pole design;
• convenient installation in a standard electrical distribution board;
• C tripping characteristic is suitable for many common electrical circuits;
• wide operating temperature range.

🏠 Where is it used?

A 16 A circuit breaker is commonly used to protect individual electrical wiring groups in apartments, private houses, offices, shops, workshops and other facilities.

⚠️ Important: the circuit breaker rating must be selected according to the cable cross-section, permissible load and electrical installation design. Installing a breaker with a higher rating than the wiring can safely handle may cause the cable to overheat. If unsure, consult a qualified electrician.

📦 PRIME VA 47-63 1P 16A (C) 4.5 kA is a simple and practical solution for protecting single-phase electrical circuits.
