The Schneider iC65N 1P C is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker (MCB) from Schneider Electric’s iC65N series, designed to provide protection against overloads and short circuits in low-voltage electrical installations
Specifications:
Type: Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
Number of Poles: 1P (Single-pole)
Current Rating: Available in various ratings (e.g., 6A, 10A, 16A, 20A, 25A, etc.)
Rated Voltage: 230V (typically for single-phase residential systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Type C: Trips between 5-10 times the rated current, which is suitable for moderate inrush currents such as those experienced by lighting circuits, small motors, and other inductive loads.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 6 kA at 230V (indicating the maximum fault current the MCB can safely interrupt without damage)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Automatically disconnects the circuit in case of a prolonged overload condition.
Short Circuit Protection: Disconnects the circuit almost instantly in case of a short circuit, minimizing damage to wiring and connected devices.
Compliance: Complies with international standards such as IEC 60898-1 for residential applications and IEC 60947-2 for general low-voltage circuit protection.
Key Features:
Reliable Protection: The iC65N series MCB provides dependable overload and short-circuit protection for low-voltage electrical installations, ensuring the safety of circuits and connected equipment.
