Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N Miniature Circuit Breaker
Overview
The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N is a DIN-rail mounted miniature circuit breaker (MCB) covering current ratings from 1A to 63A, forming the core protection device of Schneider Electric’s Acti9 modular range for final-circuit distribution. Available in 1, 2, 3, and 4-pole configurations with B, C, and D tripping curves, the iC60N is designed to protect lighting circuits, socket outlets, small motors, and general power distribution downstream of a main incomer, with a standard breaking capacity in the 6kA to 10kA range depending on curve and pole configuration. Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2, the iC60N is one of the most widely specified final-circuit MCBs in commercial and light industrial installations across the region.
As the official authorized partner and exclusive regional representative for Schneider Electric, Seven Star LLC proudly supplies the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N to electrical contractors, panel builders, and facility maintenance teams throughout the Sultanate of Oman and the wider GCC. Contractors in Muscat, Sohar, and Salalah rely on Seven Star LLC to provide genuine Acti9 stock with verified curve and breaking-capacity ratings, ensuring compliance with project specifications and local wiring regulations without the delays of importing single MCB references directly.
Operating Principle of the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N
The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N protects final circuits through a combined thermal-magnetic mechanism housed in its compact modular body. The thermal element, a bimetallic strip, deflects in proportion to sustained current draw and trips the breaker when current remains above its rated value for a period inversely proportional to the degree of overload, protecting cable insulation from slow thermal buildup caused by overloaded circuits. The magnetic element responds to a sudden, high-magnitude current rise typical of a short circuit, tripping near-instantaneously to limit fault energy; the B, C, and D curve options set the magnetic trip threshold at different multiples of rated current, allowing the correct curve to be matched to resistive, general, or highly inductive/inrush loads respectively.
Because the iC60N is a fully electromechanical device with no external power requirement, it operates reliably in the widest range of installation conditions, including panelboards without auxiliary control power. A red mechanical trip indicator on the front face shows at a glance whether the breaker has opened due to a fault, and the trip-free mechanism prevents the handle from being held closed against a persistent overload or short circuit, a fundamental safety requirement of any final-circuit protection device.
Engineering Design of the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N
The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N is housed in a slim modular case, with each pole occupying approximately 18mm of DIN-rail width, allowing dense multi-circuit panelboards to be built within a compact enclosure. The device snaps directly onto standard 35mm DIN rail and terminates via screw terminals rated for the appropriate cable cross-sections, with IP20-rated terminal covers protecting against accidental finger contact once installed behind a panel fascia. The toggle-style operating handle provides clear ON/OFF/tripped position indication and a positive, tactile switching action.
The iC60N shares its modular footprint and mounting system with the wider Acti9 range, including residual current devices, isolators, and surge protection modules, allowing electrical contractors to build a fully coordinated final-distribution board from a single compatible product family. This commonality simplifies both initial panel design and future maintenance, since replacement poles, curve variants, and accessories are drawn from the same Acti9 catalog used across the installation.
Key Features
The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N is engineered as a dependable, space-efficient MCB for everyday final-circuit protection. Its principal characteristics include:
- Current ratings from 1A to 63A, covering the vast majority of lighting, socket, and small-motor circuit requirements.
- Available in B, C, and D tripping curves to match resistive, general, and high-inrush inductive loads.
- 1, 2, 3, and 4-pole configurations for single-phase and three-phase final-circuit protection.
- Breaking capacity in the 6kA to 10kA range, sufficient for typical commercial and light industrial distribution boards.
- Compact 18mm-per-pole modular design for dense DIN-rail panelboard layouts.
- Red mechanical trip indicator provides immediate visual confirmation of a fault condition.
- Trip-free operating mechanism prevents the breaker from being manually held closed against a fault.
- Compliant with IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 for both domestic and industrial-style final-circuit specification.
Industrial Applications
The Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60N is specified across almost every final-distribution board in commercial and light industrial installations: lighting circuits, socket outlet rings, small pump and fan motor feeders, and general power distribution in office towers, retail units, and hospitality developments. In Muscat’s commercial and residential tower developments, and in warehouse and light manufacturing facilities across Oman, the iC60N is the default MCB choice wherever a compact, code-compliant final-circuit breaker is needed in volume across a multi-way distribution board.
As the officially authorized partner for Schneider Electric, Seven Star LLC distributes the iC60N to electrical contractors and panel builders serving the Sohar and Salalah economic zones, where fast turnaround on standard DIN-rail protection devices is essential to keep panel assembly and site electrical works on schedule. Our regional stock across the full range of ratings and curves means contractors across Oman and the GCC can source complete Acti9-based distribution boards from a single authorized supplier.
