The A9F95216 is a two‑pole (2P) miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric’s Acti9 iC60L series, featuring a K‑curve tripping characteristic (magnetic threshold at 12 × In). The K‑curve is specifically engineered for circuits that experience pronounced inrush currents – such as transformers, solenoid valves, motor starters, and capacitive loads – where standard B‑ or C‑curve breakers would be prone to nuisance tripping. With both poles protected, this 2‑pole device ensures simultaneous disconnection of both lines, providing complete isolation and enhanced safety for single‑phase AC or DC installations. Rated at 16 A, this MCU delivers a robust ultimate breaking capacity of 50 kA at 220‑240 V AC (per IEC 60947‑2) and 15 kA at 400 V AC (per IEC 60898‑1), guaranteeing reliable fault clearing even in demanding industrial environments. It is dual‑certified to both industrial and residential standards, offering flexible deployment across control panels, distribution boards, and specialised equipment protection. The breaker features the intuitive VisiTrip indicator, which instantly identifies the tripped pole for fast fault diagnosis, and the VisiSafe green strip that provides 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 reliably from -35 °C to +70 °C, this MCB is built with PVC‑free materials and achieves 54% recyclability, though it contains halogen above thresholds. Its total lifecycle carbon footprint is quantified at 28 kg CO₂ eq., reflecting Schneider Electric’s commitment to transparent environmental reporting.
