Overcurrent circuit breaker C60PV-DC-20 20A 2-pole A9N61652

Protection of photovoltaic and DC installations – reliable C60PV-DC circuit breaker

This 2-pole circuit breaker from Schneider Electric's Acti9 C60PV-DC series is a key element of protection in photovoltaic installations and DC circuits. Designed to protect against overload and short circuit, it ensures safe and reliable system operation. The B characteristic allows for a quick response to current increase, and the high short-circuit breaking capacity (up to 1.5kA at 800V DC) guarantees effective protection of components.

Construction and application

The C60PV-DC circuit breaker is designed for mounting on a 35mm DIN rail and is characterized by a compact design, taking up 4 modules. Its versatility makes it ideal for protecting DC circuits in PV systems, but also in other applications requiring protection against overload and short circuit in DC circuits. The ability to lock in the OFF position further increases safety during maintenance and repairs.
