The ETIMAT10 1P B 16A 10kA AC overload switch is one of the basic and widely used automatic protection devices, used to limit the effects arising from short circuits and overloads in the electrical network.

The passage of current exceeding the switch's nominal value causes its release and the interruption of the powered circuit. This function aims to protect devices and installations from destruction, as well as to protect individuals from electric shock, ultimately reducing the risk of fire.

Due to its parameters, it is commonly used in residential electrical installations to protect lighting circuits, sockets, and control. The construction of the switch allows for the installation of additional equipment, such as auxiliary contacts, which enable remote signaling of the device's operation.

The switch can also be equipped with voltage increase diverters that remotely open and close the switch's contacts upon voltage occurrence, or with voltage drop diverters that release the switch in case of a voltage drop relative to the nominal value.

Overload switches are installed on a TH-35 mounting rail. The short-circuit breaking capacity of this switch is determined at a level of 10kA.
