- Functional Features
- 1P+N Design: Live wire protection plus synchronous neutral wire switching, suitable for single-phase distribution systems, with clear wiring and convenient maintenance.
- Type C Tripping Curve: Suitable for conventional loads such as lighting and sockets, balancing overload time-delay and short-circuit instantaneous tripping, with strong resistance to inrush current.
- High Breaking Capacity: 6el (IEC 60947‑2)/4.5el (EN 60898‑1), capable of handling severe short-circuit faults and ensuring distribution safety.
- Standard Mounting: DIN rail mounting with 1-module width, saving switchgear space, and compatible with Acti9 series accessories (p.ej., contactos auxiliares, alarm contacts).
- Adaptabilidad ambiental: IP20 protection rating, resistant to temperatures ranging from -25℃ to 70℃, meeting the requirements of industrial and civil distribution environments.
- Ámbito de aplicación
– Overload and short-circuit protection for single-phase distribution circuits of lighting, enchufes, motores pequeños, etc., in commercial buildings and industrial plants.
Places with high requirements for power supply reliability, such as office buildings, hoteles, and hospitals.
Compatible with Acti9 series distribution boxes, used in scenarios such as terminal power distribution and branch circuit protection.
- Recomendaciones de selección
- Coincidencia de carga: Type C curve is suitable for non-inductive loads (p.ej., iluminación, enchufes); avoid selecting Type D (for power loads) or Type B (for electronic equipment) curves.
- Circuit Matching: With a rated current of 6A, it is suitable for 1.5mm² copper core cables (long-term current-carrying capacity ≥ 10A), and the circuit length should be ≤ 100m.
- Capacidad de ruptura: The 6kA breaking capacity is suitable for terminal distribution; the front-end should be equipped with molded case circuit breakers with higher breaking capacity (p.ej., 15kA and above).
- Accessory Selection: According to monitoring requirements, select accessories such as auxiliary contacts (p.ej., A9A26924) and alarm contacts (p.ej., A9A26934).
- Solución de problemas
| Fenómeno de falla | Posibles causas | Métodos de solución de problemas |
| Tropiezos frecuentes | Sobrecarga, line grounding/short-circuit, mismatched tripping curve | Check load current and insulation resistance; replace MCB with a matching tripping curve |
| Failure to Close | Unreset tripping mechanism, line short-circuit, ablación por contacto | Manually reset the trip lever, locate the short-circuit point, replace damaged contacts |
| Excessive Temperature Rise | Cableado suelto, contact oxidation, high ambient temperature | Tighten wiring terminals, polish contacts, improve ventilation and heat dissipation |
| Insufficient Breaking Capacity | Lack of front-end protection, excessive short-circuit current in the line | Upgrade front-end protection, select MCB with higher breaking capacity |
