Circuit breaker iC60N-C16-1 16A 1-pole A9F04116

Electrical installation protection with iC60N-C16-1 circuit breaker

This single-pole circuit breaker from the iC60N series, with a rated current of 16A and C characteristic, is a reliable solution for protecting electrical circuits against overloads and short circuits. It is a key element of every installation, ensuring safety and equipment protection. This circuit breaker is used in residential, commercial, and industrial buildings.

Functionality and design features

The iC60N-C16-1 circuit breaker is designed for easy installation and use. Its compact dimensions (1 module width) allow for efficient use of space in the distribution board. The C characteristic provides delayed tripping during short-term overloads, which is particularly important for devices with motors or other inductive loads – allowing them to start without unnecessarily tripping the protection. Additionally, the circuit breaker has a high short-circuit capacity – 6kA according to EN 60898 at 230V and 10kA according to IEC 60947-2 at 230V – which guarantees effective protection in the event of serious network disturbances.

• Versatility: Suitable for AC/DC installations with a rated voltage of 230V and a frequency of 50-60Hz.
• Safety: Energy limitation class 3 and overvoltage category 4 provide a high level of protection.
• Installation: Can be mounted on a DIN rail without tools, which significantly speeds up the installation process.
• Wires: Accepts solid wires with a cross-section of 1-25 mm² and stranded wires 1-16 mm².
• Signaling: Features an optical Visi-Trip indicator that informs about the tripping of the circuit breaker caused by overload or short circuit – this facilitates quick identification of the problem.
• Durability: Made of high-quality materials, resistant to environmental conditions (operating temperature -35°C to +70°C).

Application and compliance with standards

The iC60N-C16-1 circuit breaker meets the requirements of IEC/EN 60947-2 and IEC/EN 60898-1 standards, confirming its compliance with European safety standards. It can be used to protect various circuits, such as lighting, electrical outlets, and household appliances. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for both professional installers and end-users looking for reliable protection for their electrical installation. The IP20 degree of protection provides protection against finger contact and the ingress of solid objects larger than 12.5 mm.
