The A9F87216 is a two‑pole (2P) miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Acti9 iC60H series, rated at 16 A with a C‑curve tripping characteristic (magnetic threshold at 8 × In). The C‑curve offers an optimal balance between overload protection and tolerance of moderate inrush currents, making it a versatile solution for general‑purpose distribution – including lighting circuits, socket outlets, small motor feeders, and control panels – in commercial, industrial, and residential installations. As a 2‑pole device protecting both lines, it ensures simultaneous disconnection of phase and neutral in single‑phase AC systems or both poles in DC applications, delivering complete isolation and enhanced safety. This MCB provides a reliable ultimate breaking capacity of 30 kA at 220‑240 V AC (per IEC 60947‑2) and 10 kA at 400 V AC (per IEC 60898‑1), ensuring robust fault clearing in demanding environments. Dual‑certified to both industrial and residential standards, it offers flexible deployment across diverse projects. The breaker incorporates the intuitive VisiTrip indicator, which instantly identifies the tripped pole for fast fault diagnosis, and the VisiSafe green strip that gives clear visual proof of contact opening – a critical safety feature for maintenance work. Its quick‑make/quick‑break mechanism, independent of handle position, ensures consistent performance over 10,000 electrical and 20,000 mechanical cycles. With a compact 36 mm width (4 modular pitches) and DIN‑rail mounting, it saves panel space, while the double‑tunnel terminals accept conductors up to 25 mm² (rigid) and 16 mm² (flexible) with a 2 N·m torque. Operating from -35 °C to +70 °C, this MCB is built with halogen‑free plastics and PVC‑free materials, achieving 54% recyclability and a total lifecycle carbon footprint of 28 kg CO₂ eq. – all reflecting Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainable energy distribution.
