Product details

The Schneider Electric A9N18522 is a 4-pole Acti9 C120 miniature circuit breaker rated 63 A at 30 °C with a D tripping curve (magnetic trip 10–14 x In). The 15 kA Icn at 400 V AC (per EN/IEC 60898-1) covers most commercial and light industrial service-entrance faults; the 10 kA Icu at 440 V AC (per EN/IEC 60947-2) handles the higher prospective fault current you might see on a transformer secondary. Dual-rated to both standards means you can spec it for either residential or industrial duty without juggling two part numbers.

D curve means the magnetic trip holds to 10–14 times rated current — it's built for transformer inrush, motor starting, or any load with a high initial surge that would nuisance-trip a C-curve breaker. At 63 A on a 400 V three-phase system, that's roughly 35 kW of connected load, so it fits a lighting sub-main, a small HVAC panel, or a machine-tool disconnect. The 15 kA Icn at 400 V AC is the rated short-circuit capacity under the domestic-standard test sequence (EN/IEC 60898-1); the 30 kA Icu at 220–240 V AC (per EN/IEC 60947-2) tells you it can interrupt a much higher fault on a 240 V single-phase leg without welding its contacts.

It's a standard catalog item in the Acti9 line, so it's routinely sourced through independent distribution.

The breaker occupies 12 x 9 mm pitches on the DIN rail — 108 mm wide total. Tunnel terminals accept 1–50 mm² rigid or 1.5–35 mm² flexible; strip 15 mm, torque to 3.5 N·m. Neutral is on the left (fixed position). IP20 finger-safe terminals, so no live metal exposed after wiring. The toggle gives clear ON/OFF indication; a separate earth-leakage block can be added downstream if you need RCD protection.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy the A9N18522 and how is it quoted?

The A9N18522 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to the A9N18522 in the Acti9 family?

Within the Acti9 C120 range, the closest peer is the same physical breaker with a C curve instead of D. The D curve's 10–14 x In magnetic trip is the deciding factor for loads with high inrush; if your load is resistive or general-purpose, the C-curve variant is functionally interchangeable in the same DIN footprint.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for the A9N18522?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60898-1 and EN/IEC 60947-2, with tropicalisation class 2 per IEC 60068-1. Standard Schneider declarations of conformity cover CE, UKCA, and EAC for the Acti9 range.
