The A9F79106 is a 6‑ampere, single‑pole miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Acti9 iC60N range, engineered with a C‑curve tripping characteristic (magnetic threshold at 8 × In). This C‑curve strikes a practical balance between overload protection and tolerance of moderate inrush currents, making it a versatile choice for general‑purpose distribution – covering lighting circuits, socket outlets, small power feeders, and control panels in commercial, industrial, and residential buildings. With a rated ultimate breaking capacity of 10 kA at 220‑240 V AC under the industrial standard EN/IEC 60947‑2 and 6 kA at 230 V AC per the residential norm EN/IEC 60898‑1, this MCB ensures reliable fault interruption across a wide range of applications. It is dual‑certified to both standards, facilitating seamless integration into mixed‑use installations. The breaker incorporates the well‑known VisiTrip fault‑finder window, which instantly highlights the tripped pole to accelerate fault diagnosis, and the VisiSafe green strip that provides unequivocal visual confirmation of contact separation – an essential safety feature for maintenance crews. Its quick‑make/quick‑break mechanism, independent of handle position, guarantees consistent switching performance over 10,000 electrical and 20,000 mechanical cycles. With a compact 18 mm width (2 modular pitches) and DIN‑rail clip‑on mounting, it optimises panel space. The double‑tunnel terminals accept rigid conductors up to 25 mm² and flexible up to 16 mm² with a 2 N·m torque, and the device offers IP20 protection at the terminals and IP40 when enclosed. Operating from -35 °C to +70 °C, it is built with halogen‑free plastics and PVC‑free materials, achieving a 54% recyclability rate and a total lifecycle carbon footprint of only 8 kg CO₂ eq.
