The Schneider Electric A9N18568 is an add-on residual current device (RCD) from the Acti9 Vigi C120 range, designed to clip onto a compatible Acti9 MCB or MCCB via screw connection, providing earth-leakage protection downstream. It is a 3-pole unit rated for 125 A continuous current, with a 500 mA sensitivity and Type AC detection — meaning it trips on sinusoidal AC residual currents only, instantaneous response. The voltage-independent tripping mechanism means it operates without needing an external supply, even if the line voltage drops. Rated operational voltage is 230…415 V AC at 50/60 Hz, with an insulation voltage of 500 V AC and impulse withstand of 6 kV per IEC 60947-2. Mounts via clip-on to a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, occupying 10 x 9 mm pitches (171 mm width). Terminals accept 1…50 mm² rigid or 1…35 mm² flexible cable; tightening torque is 3.5 N·m.
