Overview
The Schneider Electric 60141 is a Multi9 C60 miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for UL489 compliance. This 2-pole breaker is rated for 6 amperes at 240 volts and features a C-curve characteristic with a 10 kA interrupt capacity. The tunnel-terminal design ensures secure wire connections and is commonly used for branch circuit protection in residential and light commercial electrical installations.
Key Features
- 2-pole configuration with thermomagnetic trip mechanism for both overload and short-circuit protection
- C-curve trip characteristic suitable for circuits with normal inductive loads
- 10 kA short-circuit interrupt rating (SCIR) provides robust fault protection
- Compact DIN-rail mountable design for space-efficient panel installation
- Tunnel-terminal wiring eliminates the need for external lugs or connectors
- UL489-certified for North American electrical codes and standards
