Schneider Electric iC60L-C2 Miniature Circuit Breaker, 1P, 2A, 15kA

The Schneider Electric iC60L-C2 is a high-performance 1-pole miniature circuit breaker engineered to provide reliable protection for electrical circuits in demanding environments. This device is specifically designed to safeguard installations against overloads and short circuits, ensuring operational continuity and safety in both industrial and commercial settings. With its compact design and high breaking capacity, it serves as a critical component for maintaining the integrity of electrical distribution systems.

Advantages

This circuit breaker offers exceptional reliability due to its robust construction and high breaking capacity of 15 kA, which allows it to handle significant fault currents effectively. Its design facilitates easy installation on standard DIN rails, making it a versatile choice for modern electrical panels. The device is built to meet rigorous safety standards, providing consistent performance and long-term durability even in intensive applications.

Suitable for

• Industrial electrical distribution systems
• Commercial building power management
• Protection of low-current control circuits
• Applications requiring high short-circuit breaking capacity

When it may not be suitable

This circuit breaker is not intended for use in environments with high moisture or dust levels without an appropriate protective enclosure, as it carries an IP20 rating. It is also not suitable for applications requiring a higher rated current than 2 A or for multi-phase systems, as it is a single-pole device.

Key specifications

• Number of poles: 1
• Rated current: 2 A
• Breaking capacity: 15 kA
• Protection rating: IP20
• Mounting type: DIN rail
• Dimensions: 18 mm width, 78.5 mm depth, 85 mm height

How to use

The device is designed for mounting onto a standard DIN rail within an electrical distribution board. Installation should be performed by a qualified professional in accordance with local electrical regulations. Once mounted, the input and output cables are connected to the respective terminals. The toggle switch on the front allows for manual operation, while the internal mechanism automatically trips the circuit in the event of an overload or short circuit.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2 A current rating matches your specific circuit requirements.
• Ensure the installation environment is dry and protected, consistent with the IP20 rating.
• Confirm that a single-pole configuration is appropriate for your electrical system.
• Check available space in your distribution board to accommodate the 18 mm module width.

Usage recommendations

Regularly inspect the circuit breaker for any signs of physical damage or discoloration. It is recommended to perform periodic testing of the tripping mechanism to ensure the device remains fully functional and capable of providing the necessary protection for your electrical installation.
