Differences between iC65N series and iC60N series

iC65N: China domestic version (CCC); iC60N: International general version (CE/IEC). Same outline, module width and basic tripping characteristic; 6kA breaking capacity per IEC60898. Directly interchangeable on DIN rail. But they differ in certification, applicable standards, contact status indication, available trip curves, accessory system and material codes.

1. 市場での位置づけ & 認証

iC65N: Model dedicated for Chinese market, CCC認証済み, standard GB10963.1 (identical to IEC60898-1). No separate CE for overseas acceptance, not recognized for export projects.

Material prefix: A9F18xxxx (Cカーブ). 例: 2P C32A = A9F18232

iC60N: Global Acti9 international version, CE+IEC certified, compliant with IEC60898-1 (household distribution) + IEC60947-2 (industrial disconnector). Preferred for export panels, overseas complete sets and foreign-invested projects.

Material prefix: A9F74xxxx (Cカーブ). 例: 2P C32A = A9F74232

2. 遮断容量 (主な違い)

iC65N N grade: 6kA @400V (IEC60898 only)

iC60N N grade: 6の (IEC60898) / 10の (IEC60947 industrial condition), higher breaking capacity under industrial standard

3. Available Trip Curves

iC65N: B / C / D

iC60N: B / C / D / K / Z / マ (K for transformers, Z for electronic circuits, MA fixed magnetic trip for motors; wider selection for industrial control)

4. Front Panel Indication (VisiSafe / VisiTrip)

iC65N: Simplified China version. Green handle = open position; red marker for fault trip

iC60N: Full VisiSafe (visible true contact separation) + VisiTrip (independent red window for fault trip). Widely required by overseas safety specifications and site verification

5. アクセサリの互換性

Accessories look identical but have separate material code ranges. Strongly recommended to match accessories within the same series

iC65: iOF / iSD / iMX / iMN, Vigi iC65 RCD add-ons (China A9 domestic accessories)

iC60: ビジ iC60, overseas auxiliary / シャントトリップ; compatible with PowerTag smart energy monitoring modules (iC65 generally not fitted with overseas smart modules)

6. 寸法 & 互換性

✅ Same module size: 1P=18mm, 2P=36mm, direct DIN35 rail swap, wiring from top or bottom allowed

⚠️ Important risk note: iC65N preferred for domestic cabinets in China; for export, foreign-owned projects or CE certificate requirement, select iC60N. iC65N cannot be substituted, overseas inspectors do not accept iC65N certificates.
