Schneider IC60N Automatic Circuit Breaker, 1P, C-Curve, 10A, 10kA

The Schneider IC60N is a high-performance 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide robust electrical protection for various distribution systems. This device is designed to safeguard electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits, ensuring operational safety and reliability in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. With its precise C-curve tripping characteristic and a 10A rated current, it effectively manages electrical loads while maintaining high performance standards.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high breaking capacity of 10kA, which allows it to handle significant fault currents safely. The compact 18mm width design facilitates efficient use of space within electrical distribution boards. Furthermore, the device is built for longevity, offering a mechanical and electrical endurance of up to 10,000 cycles, which minimizes the need for frequent maintenance or replacement. Its selectivity class 3 ensures optimal coordination with other protective devices in the system.

Suitable for

• Residential electrical distribution boards
• Commercial building power systems
• Industrial control panels
• Protection of lighting and general-purpose circuits

This circuit breaker may not be suitable for applications requiring multi-phase protection, as it is a single-pole device. It is also not intended for environments where the ambient conditions exceed the IP20 protection rating without additional enclosure protection.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1P
• Rated current: 10A
• Tripping curve: C
• Breaking capacity: 10kA
• Rated voltage: 230V
• Selectivity class: 3
• Protection degree: IP20
• Width: 18mm

The device is designed for installation on a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution enclosure. It should be mounted by a qualified professional to ensure all electrical connections are tightened to the manufacturer's specifications. Once installed, the toggle switch allows for manual operation to connect or disconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the 10A rating matches your circuit load requirements
• Verify that a single-pole device is appropriate for your specific wiring configuration
• Check that the 10kA breaking capacity meets local safety standards for your installation
• Confirm the available space in your distribution board for an 18mm wide module

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear or heat damage and ensure that the connections remain secure over time to maintain optimal performance and safety.
