Eaton FAZ-C4/1-NA-SP miniature circuit breaker is used to protect from medium-level short circuit faults, such as in lighting, coils & control panels.
Working Mechanism:
- When the current overflows through the miniature circuit breaker, the bimetallic strip gets heated and deflected by bending.
- The deflection releases a latch that causes the MCB to turn off by stopping the current flow in the circuit.
Features:
- It features a thermal-magnetic trip to provide both long-time and instantaneous current limiting protection.
- This C-curve circuit breaker comes equipped with a toggle actuator for manual action.
- It allows DIN rail mounting to minimise the installation & wiring downtime.
- This circuit breaker has a 4A standard current rating and a maximum interrupting capacity of 10kAIC at 277 / 480VAC.
- It can accommodate wire sizes ranging from 18 to 6 AWG.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the operating temperature range of Eaton FAZ-C4/1-NA-SP miniature circuit breaker?
A. This circuit breaker can be operated at temperatures ranging from -4 to 140 degrees F.
Q. What causes miniature circuit breakers to trip?
A. Overloading a circuit is the primary reason for frequent short-circuit tripping.
Q. What is the difference between MCCBs and MCBs?
A.
- MCBs protect items from current overloads while MCCBs protect equipment from fault currents & excess temperature rise.
- The tripping circuit of MCBs is fixed while MCCBs have a movable tripping circuit.
- MCBs have comparatively low interrupting ratings than MCCBs.
Q. Which type of terminal connection is used in this circuit breaker?
A. This circuit breaker uses a screw clamp connection for added safety.
