Overcurrent switch C60H-DC-C16-2 C 16A 2-pole A9N61531

DC and AC circuit breaker for circuit protection

This 2-pole circuit breaker from Schneider Electric's C60H-DC series provides reliable protection for electrical installations. Designed to operate in both direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) circuits, it offers effective protection against overloads and short circuits. The C characteristic provides a delayed tripping time, which is particularly important for loads with high inrush currents, such as motors or transformers.

Characteristics and application

The C60H-DC-C16-2 circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a DIN rail and is used in a wide range of electrical installations – from domestic to industrial. The rated current of 16A makes it ideal for protecting lighting circuits, socket circuits and electrical appliances with medium power consumption. The high short-circuit breaking capacity (20kA at 230V DC and 10kA at 400V) guarantees the safety of the installation in the event of a failure.

• Versatility: Can be used in both DC and AC circuits.
• Overload protection: C characteristic provides protection against overloads, allowing for safe operation of devices with high inrush current.
• Short-circuit protection: Fast tripping in the event of a short circuit minimizes the risk of damage to the installation and equipment.
• DIN rail mounting: Enables easy and quick installation in electrical distribution boards.
• Wide operating temperature range: From -25°C to 70°C, allowing it to be used in various environmental conditions.
• Wire cross-sections: Accepts solid wires with a cross-section from 1 to 25 mm² and stranded wires from 1 to 16 mm².

Technical parameters and construction

The circuit breaker is made of high-quality materials, which ensures its durability and reliability. It has a protection rating of IP20, which means protection against touching with a finger, but not against water ingress. The rated insulation voltage Ui is 500V, and the rated voltage is 440V. The mounting depth is 44mm, and the width occupies 2 modules on a DIN rail. Additionally, the circuit breaker is characterized by low power losses – only 2.5W – which translates into energy savings. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp is as high as 6kV, which provides additional safety in the event of overvoltages.
