Miniature circuit breakers from the FAZ series are available in 6 kA and 10 kA ratings. They feature single, double, and triple pole configurations with thermal and magnetic tripping mechanisms, designed for DIN rail mounting. These breakers come with three selectable tripping characteristics and a breaking capacity of either 6 kA for low-cost applications or 10 kA for full rating.

They utilize a double-break contact system with an internal spark extinction chamber and a storing firing mechanism that allows for free tripping. The frontal switching lever provides a clear indication of the contact position. The terminal clamping capacity ranges from 0.75 to 16 mm², and they are compatible with DIN rails, conforming to EN 50 022/DIN 46277-3.

These breakers comply with design provisions B, C, and S according to the new international standard IEC 898, BS/EN 60-898.

• Curve B: Ensures comfortable tripping at currents 3 to 5 times the rated value, suitable for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as incandescent lamps, heating loads, households, and smaller buildings.
• Curve C: Provides instantaneous tripping at currents 5 to 10 times the rated value, ideal for circuits with larger inrush currents, including industrial equipment, larger buildings, motors, and fluorescent lamps.
• Curve S: Features a short circuit response threshold from 13 to 17 times the rated current and an overload threshold from 1.05 to 1.3 times the rated current, making it ideally suited for protecting control circuits where very large inrush currents are expected, such as transformers.
