SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC DPN N C4 19263

Schneider Electric Multi 9 Miniature Circuit Breaker

Description

This is a DPN N C4 miniature circuit breaker from the robust Multi 9 series by Schneider Electric (Merlin Gerin). It is a 1P+N (single pole + neutral) device designed for reliable overcurrent and short-circuit protection in a variety of electrical installations. As an obsolete part, it is ideal for maintaining or repairing existing systems that utilize the Multi 9 platform.

FAQ

What is the difference between a DPN N and a standard 2-pole MCB?

A DPN N breaker provides overcurrent protection on the phase (P) pole only, while the neutral (N) pole is a solid, non-protected, but switched link. This ensures the neutral is always disconnected along with the phase, which is a safety requirement in many installations. A standard 2P breaker provides overcurrent protection on both poles.

Can this Merlin Gerin Multi 9 breaker be replaced with a modern Schneider Acti9 breaker?

Yes, this is a direct replacement in terms of form factor (DIN rail mounting) and basic function. The modern equivalent is the Acti9 iDPN N series. Always ensure the voltage, current rating (4A), and tripping curve (C) match your application’s requirements.

What does the ‘6000’ and the ‘3’ in a box signify on the front of the breaker?

The ‘6000’ indicates the ultimate breaking capacity of the circuit breaker in Amperes (6000A or 6 kA). This is the maximum short-circuit current it can safely interrupt. The ‘3’ in the box represents the energy limiting class, which signifies its ability to quickly extinguish an arc and limit the total energy let-through during a fault, protecting downstream equipment.
