The Schneider Electric A9S68180 is a single-pole switch disconnector from the Acti9 iINT range, rated 80 A at 230 V AC (AC-22A utilisation category). That 80 A figure is the operational current for mixed resistive and inductive loads — the AC-22A rating means it handles switching of motors, transformers, and general distribution circuits where the load current is not purely resistive. The 1P form factor takes up two 9 mm pitches on the DIN rail (18 mm total width), so it fits a standard panel slot without crowding adjacent breakers.
Mounts fixed on a DIN rail (35 mm symmetrical). The tunnel-type terminals accept 6–50 mm² rigid or 6–35 mm² flexible conductors (with or without ferrule), with a tightening torque of 3.5 N.m and a strip length of 14 mm. The IP20 enclosure means it is suited for dry indoor panels — no washdown or outdoor exposure. The toggle control provides local ON/OFF indication, and the contact position indicator confirms isolation visually.
Short-time withstand current (Icw) is 1500 A, and the short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 5 kA for the switch-disconnector alone. These numbers govern coordination with upstream protective devices: the switch can close onto a fault up to 5 kA and carry 1500 A for the rated short-time duration without damage.
