Overcurrent switch C60H-DC-C10-1 10A 1-pole A9N61508

DC overcurrent circuit breaker C60H-DC-C10-1 is a compact protection for DC-powered electrical installations. Designed by Schneider Electric, this single-pole circuit breaker with C characteristic provides reliable protection against overloads and short circuits in circuits with a rated current of 10A.

Protection and application

The C60H-DC-C10-1 circuit breaker is used in DC installations where protection against the effects of sudden current increases is required. The C characteristic means that the circuit breaker reacts more slowly to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when connecting devices with motors or other elements generating inrush current. The rated short-circuit breaking capacity of 10kA at 230V guarantees effective disconnection of the circuit in the event of a failure.

Construction and mounting

The circuit breaker is 1 module wide, allowing for efficient use of space in the switchboard. Mounting is on a DIN rail, and the cross-section of the cables that can be connected to it is from 1 to 25 mm² for solid conductors and from 1 to 16 mm² for stranded conductors. The IP20 degree of protection provides basic protection against contact and ingress of solid objects. The device operates in a wide range of ambient temperatures, from -25°C to 70°C. The possibility of expanding with additional equipment increases its functionality and adaptation to specific installation needs.

Key features

• Rated current: 10A – ideal for protecting circuits with moderate current consumption.
• C characteristic: provides resistance to short-term current surges, typical of devices with motors.
• Short-circuit breaking capacity: 10kA at 230V – effective protection against the effects of short circuits.
• Compact dimensions: 1 module width makes it easy to install in tight switchboards.
• Rated voltage: 220V DC – designed for installations powered by direct current.
• Overvoltage category IV and pollution degree 3 - indicates the possibility of use in difficult environmental conditions.
• Power loss: of only 1.8W minimizes energy losses in the installation.
