The C60H2P2AC is a 2 A, C-curve miniature circuit breaker from the Schneider Multi9 C60H family, single-pole plus neutral (1P+N). The C-curve means magnetic tripping occurs at 5 to 10 times rated current (10 to 20 A), making it a standard choice for general-purpose distribution and moderate inrush loads like lighting or small transformers — not for motor starts or high-surge circuits. The 30 kA Icu at 230 V AC (per IEC 60947-2) is the key fault-clearing number for most residential and light commercial panels; it safely interrupts a short-circuit fault up to 30 kA without welding contacts or cascading upstream. At 440 V AC the breaking capacity drops to 10 kA, which still covers most industrial distribution boards. The 2 A rating at 30 °C ambient is the continuous current the bimetal strip carries without tripping — derate above 30 °C per the thermal curve.
Deployment context
Snaps onto a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, occupying 4 module pitches (36 mm width), which is standard for a 1P+N MCB in a distribution board. The tunnel-type terminals accept up to 25 mm² rigid or 16 mm² flexible wire; strip length is 14 mm, tighten to 2 N·m. The toggle handle gives local ON/OFF indication and a contact position indicator shows whether the contacts are actually open or closed, not just the handle position.
