The circuit breaker Acti9 iC60L from Schneider Electric is a 1-pole switch with a rated current of 6 A and a C-characteristic, designed for distribution in electrical installations. It belongs to the Acti9 series and is designated as iC60L. The device is designed for use in networks with alternating and direct voltage and complies with standards EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60898-1, with usage category A according to EN/IEC 60947-2. The operating voltage covers multiple ranges: 12–60 V AC, 100–133 V AC, 220–240 V AC, as well as 12–60 V DC and 60–72 V DC. The rated insulation voltage is 500 V AC, and the rated impulse withstand voltage is 6 kV. The protection rating of the terminals is IP20, while in modular enclosures, a protection rating of IP40 is achieved, requiring Class II insulation.

Applications

The switch is suitable for use in distribution systems, particularly in installations requiring high reliability and safety. It can be used in residential and commercial buildings, industrial facilities, and electrical distribution enclosures. Compatibility with RCDs from the Acti 9 iID series and with the Vigi iC60 RCD module expands application possibilities. The IP20 protection rating allows use in indoor environments, while the IP40 variant in modular enclosures provides additional protection against contact and contamination.

Functions and Equipment in Detail

The switch features thermal-magnetic tripping technology, providing overload and short-circuit protection. The magnetic tripping threshold is at 8 times the rated current (±20 %). The contact position indicator (VisiSafe) shows green when the output side is de-energized, enabling a safe working environment. A front-mounted tripping indicator (VisiTrip) mechanically signals when the switch has tripped due to overload or short-circuit. The snap-action switching ensures wear-free contact operation, and the moving insulation cover increases safety during installation and maintenance.

Technology Explained Simply

The C-characteristic means the switch does not trip immediately during short-term current surges (e.g., when motors are switched on), but only when the current exceeds 8 times the rated current for a sustained period. The breaking capacity is 25 kA Icu at 220–240 V AC according to EN/IEC 60947-2 and 15000 A Icn according to EN/IEC 60898-1. The limiting class 3 according to EN/IEC 60898-1 indicates that the switch is suitable for limiting short-circuit currents. The mechanical life is 20,000 cycles, and the electrical life is 10,000 cycles.

Compatibility and Accessories

The switch is designed for mounting on a 35 mm DIN rail and can be connected at the top or bottom. The terminal connections are suitable for cable cross-sections of 1 to 25 mm² (solid copper), 1 to 16 mm² (flexible copper), and 1 to 16 mm² (flexible copper with wire end ferrule). Connections with ring terminals and accessories for copper or aluminium conductors are also possible. The wire stripping length is 14 mm, and the torque for the terminals is specified as 2 Nm. The connection pitch is 18 mm between devices, and the height of the device is 85 mm, the width is 18 mm, and the depth is 78.5 mm. The colour is white, corresponding to RAL 9003.

Installation and Mounting

Mounting is tool-free via the mounting element on the front of the device, enabling easy installation and removal, especially with installed phase bars. The terminals are IP20, and the moving insulation cover increases safety. The terminals are available at the top and bottom, allowing flexible installation in distribution enclosures. The operating temperature ranges from -35 °C to 70 °C, and the storage temperature ranges from -40 °C to 85 °C. The operating altitude is up to 2000 m above sea level, and the relative humidity may reach up to 95 % at 55 °C.

Operational Advantages

The switch offers high reliability through thermal-magnetic tripping technology and long service life. The front-mounted indicators (VisiTrip and VisiSafe) simplify maintenance and safety checks. Tool-free mounting and easy removal increase efficiency during installation and maintenance. Compatibility with additional modules such as load current release units, under-voltage release units, or auxiliary contacts extends functionality. The IP20 protection rating and Class II insulation ensure safe operation in indoor environments. Compliance with standards EN/IEC 60947-2 and EN/IEC 60898-1, as well as VDE certification, guarantee the quality and safety of the device.
