Overview
The Schneider Electric C60 MCB 2P 6A Type C is a two-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) designed for low-voltage industrial power distribution and control circuits. This breaker provides circuit protection, control, isolation, and protection against short circuits, overloads, and indirect contact. The Type C tripping curve is optimized for conventional loads, with magnetic trip units operating between 5 and 10 In, making it ideal for motors, transformers, and general industrial equipment.
Key Features
- Thermal-magnetic tripping mechanism with rocker actuator and screw terminal contacts
- DIN rail mounting for standard 35 mm top-hat rail installation
- Available in 2-pole configuration with 6A rating
- Complies with both industrial standard EN/IEC 60898-1 and EN/IEC 60947-2
- Electrical endurance up to 10,000 cycles and mechanical endurance up to 20,000 cycles
- Positive contact indication for isolation status
