Schneider iC60H 2P C20 Miniature Circuit Breaker

Acti9 iC60H 2P C20 20A MCB from Schneider Electric

Product Introduction

The iC60H 2P C20 belongs to the Schneider Electric Acti9 iC60 series. This two-pole miniature circuit breaker protects electrical circuits from overload and short circuit faults. Specifically, it carries a rated current of 20A and uses a C-curve trip profile. Therefore, it suits inductive loads such as small motors and control transformers. The device offers a high breaking capacity of 10kA at 230/400V under IEC 60898-1. Furthermore, it also complies with IEC 60947-2 for industrial applications. Meanwhile, its compact 36mm width saves valuable panel space. Additionally, the 35mm DIN rail clip allows fast installation and replacement. As a result, the iC60H 2P C20 works well in control panels, sub-distribution boards, and DC systems.

Technical Specifications

The iC60H 2P C20 delivers reliable performance across many electrical systems. Its key ratings include:

• Rated current: 20 A

• Number of poles: 2P

• Tripping curve: C (magnetic trip 8×In ±20%)

• Breaking capacity: 10 kA at 230/400V (IEC 60898-1)

• Rated voltage: 400V AC, 125V DC

• Standard: EN/IEC 60898-1, EN/IEC 60947-2

The C-curve trips between 5 and 10 times the rated current. Consequently, it tolerates brief inrush currents without nuisance tripping. Besides, the 10kA breaking capacity handles higher fault levels than standard 6kA devices. For instance, it protects control circuits, small motor feeders, and DC power supplies. Moreover, the two-pole design switches live and neutral together. Therefore, it fits single-phase systems that need full isolation.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The iC60H 2P C20 is built for demanding environments. First, its operating temperature range spans -35 to 70 °C. Next, the mechanical life reaches 20,000 cycles. In addition, the electrical life reaches 10,000 cycles. The dimensions measure 82 × 36 × 78.5 mm (H×W×D). Meanwhile, the weight is about 0.2 kg, or roughly 0.1 kg per pole. The housing uses durable thermoplastic material. Furthermore, the terminals accept copper cables up to 25 mm². As a result, wiring stays secure and simple.

Installation Guide

Installing the iC60H 2P C20 takes only a few steps. First, switch off the main supply and verify zero voltage. Next, clip the breaker onto a 35mm DIN rail until it clicks. Then, connect incoming lines to the top terminals and outgoing lines to the bottom. Besides, tighten terminal screws to the torque value in the datasheet. Moreover, check that the C-curve rating matches your load profile. Finally, test the trip function with the push-to-trip button. However, always follow local electrical codes during wiring. Therefore, a qualified electrician should perform the final commissioning.
