The Schneider IC65N 4P C40A ELM is a Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) designed for overcurrent protection in 4-pole electrical circuits. It is part of Schneider Electric's IC65 series, specifically designed for protecting electrical systems from overload and short circuit faults, offering reliable protection for both residential, commercial, and industrial applications. The ELM designation indicates that the circuit breaker includes a leakage current protection (Earth Leakage Monitoring) function, which enhances safety by detecting leakage currents.
