FAQ What is the difference between the 6000A and 10kA breaking capacity ratings on this C60N breaker?The ‘6000’ (or 6kA) rating is according to the IEC/EN 60898-1 standard, typically used for residential and similar applications. The 10kA rating is according to the more stringent IEC/EN 60947-2 standard for industrial applications, which involves a more demanding testing sequence. This dual rating makes the breaker versatile. What does the ‘C’ in ‘C1′ signify for this circuit breaker’s application?The ‘C’ refers to its tripping curve characteristic. A C-curve breaker is designed to trip between 5 to 10 times its rated current (1A in this case). It is a general-purpose curve suitable for protecting circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting, control circuits, and general socket outlets. Is this Merlin Gerin C60N breaker compatible with modern Schneider Electric Acti 9 distribution boards and accessories?Yes, the Merlin Gerin Multi 9 C60N series shares the same physical profile and DIN-rail mounting standard as the modern Schneider Electric Acti 9 series. It will fit mechanically in Acti 9 boards and can be used alongside them. However, official busbar accessories and clip-on auxiliaries may have different designs, so compatibility for those should be checked on a case-by-case basis. profideals is not an authorized distributor, reseller, or representative of the products featured on this website.
