ABB 6970.110 Earth leakage circuit breaker - IP2XC
Part Number: 6970.110
Quick Summary
Earth leakage circuit breaker from ABB protects indoor distribution boards by quickly interrupting leakage currents. In compact panels where space is at a premium, unreliable protection or nuisance tripping can disrupt operations and force costly rewiring. This unit combines a 230 V single-phase design with a B-type tripping characteristic and a 6 kA short-circuit capacity, delivering dependable performance in everyday HVAC, lighting, and control circuits. It carries CE conformity, IP2XC enclosure protection, and REACH compliance to support safe, compliant installations in both residential and commercial environments. By integrating surface mounting with a slim 110x220x110 mm footprint and optional surge protection, it simplifies assembly, reduces wiring time, and lowers service costs for panel builders and maintenance teams.

Tripping characteristic B provides fast, predictable response for overload and short-circuit events, reducing nuisance trips and unnecessary downtime. In a single-phase distribution context, it protects sensitive loads while keeping equipment safe. This brings measurable uptime improvements for lighting, small motors, and control circuits in commercial spaces. Rated Short-Circuit Capacity of 6 kA at 230 V ensures robust fault handling, limiting damage and enabling faster return to service after faults. The compact surface-mounted, 1-row design (110 mm x 220 mm x 110 mm) fits tight panel enclosures, accelerating installation and reducing space costs in retrofit projects. Enclosure material is synthetic with a plastic housing, paired with a cover plate for a neat finished appearance, which simplifies maintenance and replacement. Compatibility with Hafonorm surge protection devices and the option for built-in over-voltage protection support safer, more resilient panel solutions. Certifications such as CE conformity, REACH, and WEEE alignment reduce regulatory risk and streamline audits for electrical contractors and panel builders. The unit’s 1-phase, 230 V operation is ideal for domestic and light commercial applications, keeping wiring diagrams straightforward and improving training efficiency for maintenance staff.
