The Schneider Electric A9C64316 is an integrated control circuit breaker from the Acti9 Reflex iC60H series — a thermal-magnetic MCB with a built-in remote control function, intended for distribution and control applications on 50/60 Hz AC networks. Rated at 16 A with a curve B trip characteristic, it protects against overload and short-circuit while providing local and remote switching via a maintained or impulse control signal at 230 V AC, 24 V AC, 48 V AC, 24 V DC, or 48 V DC.
The 30 kA Icu breaking capacity at 220…240 V AC (15 kA at 380…415 V) per EN/IEC 60947-2 means this breaker can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level without welding or rupturing — critical for high-fault-capacity installations where SCCR coordination upstream matters. Do not use for motor starting unless the inrush is verified below 5× rated current. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides overload protection via a bimetal strip and short-circuit protection via a solenoid — no electronics to drift, qualifiable under change control for GMP environments.
Mounts on a standard 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail (EN 60715), occupies 11 x 9 mm pitches (99 mm width), and is IP20 finger-safe — suitable for enclosure installation where personnel access is restricted. The remote control function accepts both maintained and impulse commands, with local ON/OFF toggle and a padlockable OFF position for lockout/tagout. LED signalling indicates device state (on, tripped, fault, ready, overheat) — supports the audit trail during commissioning and troubleshooting. Earth-leakage protection is handled by a separate block (not integrated), so if RCD function is needed, plan for an adjacent Vigi module in the same enclosure.
For GMP validation, the manufacturer provides the standard documentation package (declaration of conformity, RoHS/REACH statements, UL file) under change control. Request the specific certificate for EN/IEC 60947-2 from your Schneider Electric contact to support IQ/OQ.
