It sits on a DIN rail in the outgoing feeder position of a distribution board, protecting branch circuits against overload and short-circuit faults. ## Breaking capacity — what the three numbers mean This breaker carries three breaking-capacity ratings, each tied to a different standard. At 230 V AC, 50 Hz: 3000 A Icn per EN/IEC 60898-1 (the domestic/commercial MCB standard), 6000 A Icn per the same standard, and 10 kA Icu per EN/IEC 60947-2 (the industrial standard for switchgear). The lower Icn values reflect the less demanding test sequence of the MCB standard. For a cement plant or similar dusty environment, the 10 kA SCCR headroom means this part coordinates cleanly with a downstream 40 A load and an upstream feeder breaker sized for the panel's available fault current. Width is 36 mm, height 91 mm, depth 73 mm. Clips onto a DIN rail. Neutral on the left, supply cable entry at top or bottom. ## Measurement and diagnostics — what the accuracy tells you The iC40N ARC variant includes embedded measurement of voltage, current, active power, and power factor, with stated accuracy: ±2 % for voltage and current, ±5 % for power.","metaTitle":"Schneider A9TPED640 Acti9 iC40N ARC MCB, 40 A, 1P+N, C-curve","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric A9TPED640 Acti9 Active ARC iC40N MCB. 40 A rated, 1P+N, C-curve, 10 kA Icu at 230 V AC.

If arc-fault detection is not required, the standard iC40N is a direct fit at a lower cost. If arc-fault detection is mandatory, there is no pin-compatible substitute — the A9TPED640 is the only Acti9 ARC variant at this rating."},{"question":"What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for A9TPED640?","answer":"The breaker carries AENOR quality label and conforms to EN/IEC 60898-1, EN/IEC 60947-2, and EN/IEC 62606.
