Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H Miniature Circuit Breaker

Overview

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H is a DIN-rail mounted miniature circuit breaker (MCB) that extends the Acti9 iC60 platform to higher fault levels, offering a rated breaking capacity of 10kA across its B, C, and D curve variants up to 63A. Mechanically and dimensionally identical to the standard iC60N, the iC60H is specified wherever a short-circuit study shows prospective fault current at the final-distribution level exceeding the 6kA capacity of a standard-duty MCB, without requiring a change in panel layout or DIN-rail spacing. Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, the iC60H is a common upgrade specification for distribution boards fed from larger transformers or located close to the main incomer, where prospective fault current is inherently higher.

Working closely with plant engineers in the region, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H to electrical contractors, panel builders, and consulting engineers throughout the Sultanate of Oman and the wider GCC. Facilities in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah requiring a formally documented 10kA breaking capacity for compliance with a short-circuit study can source genuine iC60H stock from Seven Star LLC, with full manufacturer test certificates and local technical support.

Operating Principle of the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H uses the same combined thermal-magnetic tripping principle as the rest of the iC60 family: a bimetallic thermal element trips on sustained overload current with an inverse-time characteristic, while a magnetic element trips near-instantaneously on the rapid current rise of a short circuit. The distinction of the H-duty variant lies in its internal contact and arc-quenching chamber design, engineered with a higher-rated arc chute and contact system to safely interrupt fault currents up to 10kA without contact welding or case rupture — a meaningful margin over the 6kA capacity typical of a standard-duty MCB in the same physical footprint.

Because the higher breaking capacity is achieved without increasing the physical envelope of the device, the iC60H can be substituted directly for an iC60N on the same DIN rail and busbar comb system wherever a fault-level review determines the additional interrupting margin is required, without redesigning the distribution board. As with the rest of the range, the iC60H is a self-contained electromechanical device requiring no external power, with a red mechanical trip indicator and trip-free operating mechanism that prevents the breaker from being held closed against a persistent fault.

Engineering Design of the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H retains the compact modular Acti9 case, with each pole occupying approximately 18mm of standard 35mm DIN-rail width, and is available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-pole configurations to match single-phase and three-phase final circuits. Screw terminals are sized for typical final-circuit cable cross-sections, and IP20-rated terminal shrouding protects against accidental contact once the breaker is installed behind a panel fascia. The toggle handle provides the same clear ON/OFF/tripped indication as the rest of the Acti9 family, and the device snaps directly onto standard DIN rail alongside busbar comb systems for fast multi-way panel assembly.

Because the iC60H shares its mounting footprint, terminal layout, and accessory compatibility with the iC60N and the rest of the Acti9 modular range — including RCDs, isolators, and surge protection devices — panel builders can mix standard and high-breaking-capacity MCBs within the same board without introducing additional part families, simplifying both design and future maintenance stock.

Key Features

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H delivers extra fault-current margin without compromising the space efficiency of the standard Acti9 platform. Its principal characteristics include:

• Rated breaking capacity of 10kA, roughly 65% higher than the standard-duty iC60N in the same case size.
• Current ratings up to 63A, available in B, C, and D tripping curves for resistive, general, and inductive/inrush loads.
• 1, 2, 3, and 4-pole configurations for single-phase and three-phase circuit protection.
• Mechanically and dimensionally interchangeable with the iC60N, requiring no panel redesign to upgrade fault-current rating.
• Compact 18mm-per-pole modular design compatible with standard 35mm DIN rail and busbar comb systems.
• Red mechanical trip indicator and trip-free operating mechanism for clear fault status and safe manual operation.
• IP20-rated terminal protection against accidental contact behind the panel fascia.
• Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, supported by full manufacturer test documentation.

Industrial Applications

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60H is specified wherever a short-circuit study identifies prospective fault current at the final-distribution level above the 6kA capacity of a standard MCB: sub-distribution boards close to a main incomer, panels fed from higher-capacity transformers, and industrial facilities with dense parallel motor loads. In Muscat’s commercial towers, Oman’s district cooling plants, and light industrial facilities across the Sohar and Salalah economic zones, the iC60H is the standard upgrade path when a consulting engineer’s fault-level calculation calls for additional interrupting margin at the final-circuit level.

With fast quotation turnaround and technical support, Seven Star LLC distributes the iC60H to electrical contractors and panel builders across Oman and the GCC who need documented 10kA breaking capacity to satisfy project specifications and consulting engineer sign-off. Manufacturer test certification documents are available on request to support fault-level compliance requirements on active site programs.
