GigaWatt G-C16A 1P Circuit Breaker

The GigaWatt G-C16A 1P is much more than a simple circuit breaker. It is specifically designed to act as an additional protection element against overloads on the electrical lines of GigaWatt LC-Y EVO cables and GigaWatt power conditioners or power strips. Tested according to DIN EN 60934 (VDE 0642) :2013-11, EN 60934:2001+A1:2007+A2:2013, this single-pole circuit breaker offers unparalleled peace of mind when it comes to electrical safety.

Exceptional Resistance to Inrush Current

The G-C16A 1P introduces a new standard with considerably increased resistance to the instantaneous inrush current value (Hi-Inrush). This feature becomes crucial, especially for enthusiasts of power-hungry audio-video systems. Power amplifiers, in particular, have inrush current demands significantly higher than conventional electrical appliances. With our circuit breaker, you benefit from overload protection from the very first milliseconds, thus avoiding the combustion of fuse and circuit breaker contacts.

Precision Manufactured in the USA

Your electrical safety is our priority. The GigaWatt G-C16A 1P is manufactured in the United States by Carling Technologies, according to GigaWatt’s rigorous specifications. As an element controlling the current value circulating in audio-video installations, this magneto-hydraulic switch is a guarantee of exceptional performance.

Advanced Technology for Unmatched Protection

The advanced construction of the switch includes an innovative coil system, with a core moving in a non-magnetic tube filled with a special oily fluid. This unique technology allows for precise adjustment of the delay characteristic, thus ensuring optimal control of the shutdown process. Designed to ignore rapid peak load changes, the G-C16A 1P only activates when safety values are exceeded, thus avoiding unnecessary tripping.
