The A9F94132 is a 32‑ampere, single‑pole miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Acti9 iC60L family, featuring a C‑curve tripping characteristic (magnetic trip at 8 × In). The C‑curve offers a well‑balanced protection profile – responding quickly to short‑circuits while tolerating moderate inrush currents – making it an ideal choice for general‑purpose distribution circuits, including lighting, power sockets, small motors, and control panels in commercial, industrial, and residential settings. Rated with an ultimate breaking capacity of 20 kA at 220‑240 V AC per the industrial EN/IEC 60947‑2 standard and 15 kA at 230 V AC under the residential EN/IEC 60898‑1 norm, this MCB delivers reliable fault interruption even in demanding environments. It complies with both standards, ensuring seamless integration across diverse project types. The breaker incorporates Schneider’s signature VisiTrip window, which visually pinpoints the tripped pole to shorten diagnostic time, and the VisiSafe green strip that provides positive visual evidence of contact separation – a critical safety check for maintenance crews. Its quick‑make/quick‑break mechanism, independent of handle position, guarantees consistent performance over 10,000 electrical and 20,000 mechanical cycles. Despite its 32 A rating, the device retains a compact 18 mm width (2 modular pitches) and clips onto DIN rails, saving valuable panel space. The terminals are engineered for heavy‑duty wiring, accepting rigid conductors up to 35 mm² and flexible up to 25 mm² with a 3.5 N·m tightening torque. The breaker offers IP20 protection at the terminals and IP40 when housed in an enclosure, operates reliably from -35 °C to +70 °C, and is built with PVC‑free materials, though it contains halogen above thresholds. With a 54% recyclability rate and a total lifecycle carbon footprint of 16 kg CO₂ eq., this MCB aligns with Schneider Electric’s commitment to sustainable energy management.
