Overcurrent circuit breaker C60PV-DC-13 13A 2-pole A9N61658

DC Overcurrent Circuit Breaker for Installations – Reliable Circuit Protection

This two-pole C60PV-DC-13 circuit breaker with a rated current of 13A is a key element in protecting direct current (DC) installations, especially those used in photovoltaic systems. Designed by Schneider Electric, it provides effective protection against overloads and short circuits, guaranteeing the safety and reliability of the entire system. It is a device that will work both in installations carried out by professionals and in home PV systems.

Characteristics and application

The C60PV-DC-13 circuit breaker is characterized by a B tripping characteristic, which means it reacts quickly to sudden short-circuit currents, while also tolerating short-term current surges during device start-up. This makes it ideal for protecting circuits powering loads with high inrush currents, typical of inverters and other components of photovoltaic installations. Its rated voltage of 800V DC and high short-circuit breaking capacity (1.5kA at 800V DC) make it a universal solution for a wide range of DC applications. Mounting is done on a standard DIN rail, which facilitates integration with existing switchboards.

Key features and benefits
