Product details

The Schneider Electric A9N18543 is an Acti9 Vigi C120 add-on residual current device (RCD) — a 4-pole, 300 mA sensitivity, Type AC earth-leakage block that clips onto the outgoing side of a compatible Acti9 C120 MCB. It's voltage-independent, so it trips on residual current alone without needing a separate power supply to the electronics. Rated 125 A continuous at 230...415 V AC, 50/60 Hz, it's sized for the main incomer or a large subfeed in a commercial or light-industrial distribution board.

The 300 mA sensitivity is the standard for fire-protection RCDs — it won't nuisance-trip on normal leakage from long cable runs or equipment filters, but it still clears a ground fault before the fault energy reaches ignition levels. The 125 A rating matches the C120 MCB frame, so the RCD and MCB share the same continuous-current capacity — no derating mismatch on the outgoing feeder. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-2 means it's rated for the conductive-dust and condensation environment inside a typical distribution panel — no need for a sealed enclosure unless the panel itself is in a washdown zone. The IP20 finger-safe terminals are fine behind a locked cabinet door. The 6 kV impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) tells you it survives the switching surges and indirect lightning strikes common on 230/400 V networks without flashover across the internal gap.

The 4-pole block occupies 10 x 9 mm pitches (90 mm of rail width). It connects to the MCB via screws through the tunnel terminals — 1 to 50 mm² rigid or 1 to 35 mm² flexible, stripped 15 mm, torqued to 3.5 N·m. That's a heavy cable range for a 125 A feeder; you can land a 50 mm² tail without a pin ferrule.

Frequently asked questions

What is the A9N18543 used for?

It's an add-on residual current device (RCD) that clips onto an Acti9 C120 MCB to provide earth-leakage protection on a 4-pole, 125 A, 230/415 V AC circuit. Typical use is as the main incomer or large subfeed RCD in a commercial distribution board.

Where can I buy the A9N18543?

The A9N18543 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the difference between Type AC and Type A RCDs?

Type AC (this device) detects sinusoidal AC residual currents only. Type A also detects pulsating DC residual currents from rectified loads. If your circuit supplies VFDs, switched-mode power supplies, or other electronics, specify a Type A or Type B RCD instead.
