SIEMENS BS 6011 2 - Fire circuit breaker, 1 - 16 A, 230 V, for circuit breakers 1+N

This fire circuit breaker is an additional protective device that can easily be mounted next to the LS/FI switch. It is used for the early detection of hazardous faults via parallel or serial arc fault detection and switches off safely before a fire can break out. The fire circuit breaker can differentiate between operational arcs (such as those that occur with power drills) and arc faults, meaning that it only triggers when an actual fault occurs.
