FAQs
Yes. The 6970.120 is designed as a compact, surface-mounted earth leakage circuit breaker for single‑phase circuits and is specified for integration with Hafonorm distribution boards and surge protection devices. Its 1‑row, 110×110×220 mm footprint facilitates quick mounting in limited spaces.
A 6 kA rating at 230 V indicates the device can safely interrupt high fault currents typical of small to medium single‑phase installations. This reduces the risk of equipment damage and supports compliant fault clearance in standard distribution configurations.
Ideal for domestic and light commercial projects, particularly where space is at a premium and surge protection is beneficial. Its 1‑phase configuration, IP2XC protection, and CE REACH compliance make it well suited for compact Hafonorm consumer units and vertical installations.
The device aligns with CE Declaration of Conformity, REACH compliance, and WEEE categorization. IP2XC protection ensures a basic level of ingress protection, while the product’s material declarations support environmental and regulatory reporting.
The unit’s compact, lightweight design and integrated surge protection reduce installation time and component count, lowering labor costs. With robust leakage protection and standardised dimensions, ongoing maintenance is simplified, contributing to improved uptime and total cost of ownership in small‑to‑medium installations.
