FAQ

What is the difference between a B-curve, C-curve, and D-curve circuit breaker?

The curve defines the tripping characteristic. B-curve trips at 3-5 times the rated current and is for resistive loads. C-curve (like this one) trips at 5-10 times, suitable for general-purpose loads with moderate inrush current. D-curve trips at 10-20 times and is for high inrush loads like transformers and motors.

Is this C60N breaker compatible with modern Acti9 distribution boards and accessories?

Yes, the C60N series uses the standard DIN rail mounting and has a similar physical profile to the modern Acti9 iC60N series. It is generally compatible with standard DIN rail enclosures and busbars. However, for specific combing busbars or accessories, compatibility should be verified.

What does the ‘6000’ marking signify?

The ‘6000’ in a box refers to the ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity (Icn) in Amperes, according to the IEC/EN 60898-1 standard, which is typically for household and similar installations. The 10kA rating refers to the breaking capacity (Icu) under the industrial IEC/EN 60947-2 standard.
