Overview
The Square D 60163 Multi9 C60 is a robust miniature circuit breaker (MCB) engineered for overcurrent and short-circuit protection in control panels, industrial equipment, and commercial electrical systems. This 2-pole unit combines proven thermal-magnetic trip technology with a compact DIN-rail mountable design, making it an industry-standard choice for OEMs and system integrators.
Key Features
- D-Curve thermal-magnetic trip mechanism for reliable branch circuit protection
- Rated for 240/415/440 VAC and 125 VDC operation
- 15A amperage rating with 2-pole configuration
- Interrupt capacity of 6, 10, or 20 kA depending on voltage applied
- DIN-rail mounting with tunnel terminal connections
- Compliant with UL 489 and CSA C22.2 No. 5 standards
Technical Specifications
The Square D 60163 delivers stable performance across demanding industrial environments. Its thermal-magnetic trip unit provides instantaneous fault detection without nuisance tripping, ideal for general-purpose industrial loads. The breaker operates reliably across the full voltage and frequency range required by North American and international electrical codes.
Typical Applications
- Industrial control panel branch circuit protection
- Commercial electrical distribution systems
- OEM equipment and machinery safeguards
- Motor control centers and power distribution
- Supplementary protection in electrical enclosures
