Overview
The Eaton WMZT1C06 is a current-limiting miniature circuit breaker designed for single-pole branch circuit protection. Part of Eaton’s WMZT series, this UL 489 listed breaker delivers compact, reliable overcurrent protection for control panels, motor circuits, and distribution systems. With a 6A current rating and C-curve response, the WMZT1C06 suits applications requiring moderate magnetic sensitivity.
