MCB iC60L-C32-1 C 32A 1-pole A9F94132

High-endurance miniature circuit breaker for demanding installations

Model iC60L-C32-1 represents the highest protection class in the Acti9 circuit breaker range, offering C tripping characteristics designed specifically for inductive and commercial loads. This single-pole circuit breaker with a rated current of 32A provides reliable protection against short circuits and overloads in installations requiring increased resistance to inrush currents.

Advanced C tripping characteristic for industrial loads

The C characteristic defines the breaker's operation after a 5-10-x rated current exceedance, making it an ideal solution for commercial and industrial installations where inductive loads occur. Unlike the B characteristic (used mainly in residential construction), the C characteristic better handles the natural current spikes occurring during the startup of electric motors, transformers, or fluorescent devices.

The breaker maintains full functionality in extreme temperature conditions from -35°C to +70°C, preserving operational precision in both cold storage and hot technical rooms. The frequency range of 50-60 Hz and support for AC/DC voltages ensure versatility of application in various power systems.

High breaking capacity and advanced protection

The model is characterized by a rated short-circuit breaking capacity Icn of 15 kA in accordance with EN 60898 at 230V, and Icu = 20 kA according to IEC 60947-2. This increased resistance to short-circuit currents guarantees safe disconnection even of the most dangerous electrical disturbances.

Energy limiting class 3 and overvoltage category 4 provide optimal protection against the effects of atmospheric and switching surges. The rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp = 6 kV protects sensitive electronic devices from the destructive effects of surges.

Innovative VisiTrip and VisiSafe status indicators

Equipped with the VisiTrip indicator, it allows for immediate identification of the cause of tripping - the red color signals that the device operated due to an electrical fault, significantly facilitating fault diagnosis. Additionally, the VisiSafe indicator informs about the physical state of the contacts (green color), allowing for safe maintenance work on the load side.

Connection flexibility and ease of installation

The design enables direct connection of two wires of different cross-sections: single-core 1-35 mm² and multi-core 1-25 mm². IP20 double screw terminals allow for top or bottom connection, adapting to the specifics of a particular installation.

The device width is a standard 1 DIN module, and the mounting depth is only 44.5 mm, which minimizes the space occupied in the distribution board. The "double snap" design allows for the removal of a single device without the need to remove the busbar, and complete removal from the DIN rail requires no tools.

Normative compliance and insulation parameters

The breaker meets the requirements of both the industrial standard IEC/EN 60947-2 and the residential construction standard IEC/EN 60898-1, offering versatility of application. The rated insulation voltage is Ui = 500V, and the pollution degree of the working environment is level 3.

Power losses of only 2.8W at full load minimize energy consumption by the protective device itself, which is significant especially in large distribution boards where many such devices operate.

Ecology and material recycling

The product aligns with Schneider Electric's sustainable development policy - all elements are made of plastics undergoing a recycling process, and paper-cardboard packaging contains up to 70% recycled materials. REACh and RoHS declarations confirm the absence of harmful substances that negatively impactthe natural environment.

Wide range of system accessories

The iC60 series offers comprehensive solutions thanks to a wide range of accessories: auxiliary contacts, add-on releases, padlock attachments, and rotary handles. An excellent complement is the Mur
