Part of the esteemed TeSys range, this device is engineered to control and safeguard 1P+N configurations with a rated current of 6 A. It is suitable for both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) applications, ensuring versatility across various network types.

This circuit breaker boasts a breaking capacity of 1.5 kA at 230/240 V AC 50/60 Hz and 1 kA at 48 V DC, conforming to IEC 60947-2 standards, which makes it a reliable choice for managing overloads and short-circuit conditions. The trip unit technology is thermal-magnetic, providing a magnetic tripping current of 83 A, ensuring prompt response to fault conditions.

The GB2CD12 is designed for ease of installation with a mounting mode that utilises clips for secure attachment to plates or rails. It can be mounted in both horizontal and vertical positions, offering flexibility in installation. The control type is a straightforward toggle mechanism, which simplifies operation.

With a compact design, the dimensions of the GB2CD12 are 74 mm in height, 15 mm in width, and 67 mm in depth, and it has a net weight of 0.07 kg. This makes it an unobtrusive addition to any electrical setup. The mechanical and electrical durability of this circuit breaker is rated at 8000 cycles, indicating a reliable lifespan for repetitive use.

The GB2CD12 is compliant with environmental standards, including EN/IEC 60947-1 and 60947-2, and it holds product certifications from UL and CSA. It has an IP20 degree of protection, ensuring safety from solid objects larger than 12.5 mm. The ambient operating temperature range is from -20 to 60 °C, and it has a storage temperature range from -40 to 80 °C, which allows it to function effectively in a variety of environmental conditions.

This circuit breaker is also environmentally conscious, with a Green Premium product status, indicating compliance with current environmental regulations.
