Overview
The Schneider Electric Multi 9 C60 C15 240V circuit breaker is a thermal-magnetic miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for branch circuit and equipment protection in low-voltage industrial applications. This miniature circuit breaker provides protection of equipment or especially sensitive circuits within equipment against electrical threats, including short circuits, overloads and earth leakages. The C-curve trip characteristic makes it ideal for general-purpose circuits with moderate inrush current tolerance.
Key Features
- Multi-standard compliance: Compact size, easy installation on DIN rails, limits let-thru current, resetability, more convenient than fuses, electrical auxiliaries for control and status information
- Thermal-magnetic protection: Combines thermal overload and magnetic short-circuit detection for reliable trip response
- C-curve characteristic: Optimal for general-purpose circuits; tolerates moderate inrush currents
- High electrical endurance: 10000 cycles electrical durability and 20000 cycles mechanical durability
- Modular DIN rail design: Space-saving installation with standard DIN rail compatibility
- Wide voltage compatibility: 240VAC 50/60Hz rated operational voltage
