Applications

Suitable for protecting branch circuits in residential distribution boards, commercial office panels, retail outlets, and light industrial control cabinets. Commonly used for circuits powering lighting loads, power outlets, small appliance sub-circuits, and general-purpose 16A single-phase loads. Ideal for installation in modular distribution boards and MCB enclosures in apartments, villas, shops, offices, and factory auxiliary panels. The dual AC/DC rating also makes it suitable for solar PV distribution boards and battery backup panels.

Why Choose This Product

The Acti9 iC60N range has been accepted on project specifications across Indian residential, commercial, and industrial installations for over two decades, backed by Schneider Electric’s global engineering capability and India distribution footprint. Schneider Electric operates in 100+ countries and maintains a strong network of authorised distributors, system integrators, and service centres across India. All Acti9 products are manufactured in ISO-certified facilities and comply with IEC standards, with full product traceability. A comprehensive range of snap-on accessories, auxiliary contacts (A9A26924), iOF signal contacts, voltage release units, and remote trip modules, is available for the iC60N series, ensuring long-term panel maintainability and retrofit compatibility.

Buying Considerations

• Current Rating: 16A is suitable for standard power outlet circuits and moderate appliance loads. Verify the calculated connected load does not exceed 16A.
• Poles: 1 Pole (SP) protects the phase conductor only, suitable for single-phase circuits in TN-S systems. Use 2P (DP) for complete phase + neutral isolation where required.
• Curve Type: C Curve is appropriate for circuits with moderate inrush current, standard lighting, power outlets, small motors. Use B Curve for purely resistive loads, D Curve for high inrush motors and transformers.
• Breaking Capacity: 10kA Icu (IEC 60947-2) at 220-240V AC. Verify the prospective short circuit current (PSCC) at the installation point does not exceed this value; consult your electrical consultant for fault level assessment.
• Standard Required: If project specifications call for IEC 60947-2 industrial-grade compliance, the A9F74116 qualifies. If only IEC 60898-1 residential standard is required, the Schneider xC60 range (A9N1P16C) is a cost-efficient domestic alternative.
