Product details

The C-curve means the magnetic trip operates between 5 and 10 times the rated current — so 100 to 200 A for a 20 A breaker — which suits general-purpose loads like lighting, socket circuits, and small appliances where inrush is moderate.

This breaker carries two breaking-capacity ratings because it is certified to both the domestic standard (EN/IEC 60898-1) and the industrial standard (EN/IEC 60947-2). Under 60898-1 the Icn is 4500 A at 400 V AC; under 60947-2 the Icu is 6 kA at the same voltage. The limitation class is 3 (per 60898-1), meaning it lets through limited energy during a short-circuit, which helps downstream equipment survive.

Clip-on mounting on a DIN rail, 54 mm wide (6 modules). The neutral is on the left, and the toggle gives ON/OFF plus a trip-indicator flag — useful for a quick visual check during fault-finding. Strip length is 14 mm. The enclosure is IP20 (finger-safe) and IP40 inside a modular enclosure, so it is fine for dry indoor panels but not for washdown environments.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings for A9P52720?

Rated current 20 A, C-curve (magnetic trip 5–10 x In), 3P+N poles, breaking capacity 4.5 kA Icn (EN/IEC 60898-1) and 6 kA Icu (EN/IEC 60947-2) at 400 V AC.

What is the closest alternative to A9P52720 in the Acti9 family?

Within the Acti9 iC40 range, the closest sibling is the same 20 A C-curve in a 4P version (all poles protected) — the A9P52720 is 3P+N, meaning the neutral is switched but not protected against overcurrent. Choose 4P if you need full overcurrent protection on the neutral.

Where can I buy A9P52720 and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced through independent distribution channels and quoted to order against an RFQ. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm offer.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for A9P52720?

The breaker carries IMQ quality label and is certified to EN/IEC 60898-1 and EN/IEC 60947-2. It is suitable for isolation per EN/IEC 60947-2. For RoHS/REACH declarations, Schneider typically provides them on request through the product support portal.
