Overcurrent circuit breaker C60H-DC-C0,5-2 C 0.5A 2-pole A9N61520

DC Overcurrent Circuit Breaker – Reliable Circuit Protection

This two-pole C60H-DC-C0.5-2 overcurrent circuit breaker is a key element ensuring the safety of DC-powered electrical installations. Designed by Schneider Electric, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits, translating into the reliability and long-term operation of connected devices. The C characteristic means the circuit breaker reacts with a delay to short-term current surges, which is particularly important when starting devices with motors or other elements generating high inrush current.

Application and functionality

This circuit breaker finds wide application in various areas, from industrial installations and automation systems to transport and renewable energy sources. Its versatility results from its solid construction and compliance with IEC 60898-1 and IEC 60947-2 standards. DIN rail mounting simplifies installation and integration with existing systems. Additionally, a wide operating temperature range (-25°C to 70°C) allows it to be used in demanding environmental conditions.

Key features and benefits

• High short-circuit breaking capacity: up to 20 kA at 230 V DC and 10 kA at 400 V DC – ensures effective protection even in the event of serious disturbances.
• C characteristic: ideal for circuits with devices generating surge currents, such as motors or transformers. Prevents unnecessary tripping of the circuit breaker during normal operation.
• Wide wire range: possibility of connecting solid wires with a cross-section of 1…25 mm² and stranded wires 1…16 mm² provides installation flexibility.
• Compact dimensions: a width of only 4 modules allows for efficient use of space in the distribution board.
• Safety and reliability: compliance with IEC standards guarantees a high level of safety and long-term reliability.
• IP20 protection degree: provides protection against touching with fingers and solid objects larger than 12mm.
• Overvoltage category IV: resistance to overvoltages in electrical installations.

The C60H-DC-C0.5-2 circuit breaker is a solid solution for professionals and end-users looking for reliable DC installation protection. Its technical parameters and versatility make it an optimal choice for a variety of applications.
