Schneider Electric iC60N Miniature Circuit Breaker, 3P+N, 40A, C-Curve

The Schneider Electric iC60N miniature circuit breaker is a robust and reliable solution for electrical distribution systems, specifically engineered to provide comprehensive protection against overloads and short circuits. This 3P+N device is designed to handle a rated current of 40A, making it an essential component for maintaining the safety and integrity of electrical installations in commercial and industrial environments.

Advantages

This circuit breaker stands out due to its high-performance design and adherence to stringent safety standards. It offers precise tripping characteristics with its C-curve profile, ensuring that it responds effectively to various load conditions. The modular construction allows for seamless integration into standard distribution boards, while the durable materials used in its manufacturing guarantee a long service life even under demanding operational conditions.

Suitable for

• Commercial building electrical distribution boards
• Industrial machinery power supply circuits
• Protection of lighting and heating systems
• General electrical infrastructure requiring 40A capacity

When it may not be suitable

This device is not intended for use in environments with high levels of moisture, dust, or corrosive gases, as it carries an IP20 protection rating. It is also not suitable for applications requiring a different tripping curve or current rating outside of the specified 40A capacity.

Key specifications

• Configuration: 3P+N (Three poles plus neutral)
• Rated current: 40A
• Tripping curve: C-curve
• Protection rating: IP20
• Application: Overload and short-circuit protection

How to use

The device should be installed by a qualified electrician onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution panel. Ensure that the supply cables are correctly sized for a 40A load and securely fastened to the terminals to prevent overheating. Once installed, the toggle switch allows for manual operation to disconnect or reconnect the circuit as needed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 40A rating matches your circuit requirements
• Ensure the 3P+N configuration is compatible with your electrical system
• Check that the installation environment meets the IP20 protection standard
• Confirm space availability in your distribution board for a multi-pole device

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for signs of wear or thermal damage and perform periodic testing of the switching mechanism to ensure continued operational reliability.
