Product details

What this MCB delivers

The C60H3P16AB: Breaking capacity is the headline here: 30 kA Icu at 230...240 V AC, 15 kA at 400...415 V AC, and 10 kA at 440 V AC, all per IEC 60947-2. That means it can handle high-fault panels where a standard 10 kA MCB would weld. For motor or transformer circuits, a C or D curve would be a better fit — this one is for general distribution where the inrush stays under 80 A.

Snaps onto a 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail, occupies 6 x 9 mm pitches (54 mm wide), and stands 81 mm tall with a depth of 73 mm. That depth is the body only — allow clearance for the toggle throw and outgoing cables. Earth-leakage protection requires a separate block; this is the thermal-magnetic only.

Rated for operation from -25 to 60 °C, storage from -40 to 70 °C, and 95 % relative humidity at 55 °C. Tropicalisation level 2 per IEC 60068-1 means it handles damp-heat cycling without internal corrosion — relevant for coastal or unconditioned plant rooms. Altitude limit is 2000 m; above that, derate the breaking capacity. The limitation class is 3 per IEC 60947-2, which limits let-through energy under fault; this helps with downstream coordination in a selective scheme.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy C60H3P16AB and how is it quoted?

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

What is the closest alternative to C60H3P16AB in the same family?

Within the Multi9 C60 range, the main variant is the C60N (standard breaking capacity) versus this C60H (high breaking capacity). The C60H3P16AB carries 30 kA at 230 V vs. the C60N's lower 10-15 kA. For the same 16 A, 3-pole, B-curve footprint, the C60N3P16AB is the direct lower-cost sibling if your fault level allows.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C60H3P16AB?

The part carries IEC 60947-2 certification for breaking capacity, isolation suitability, and limitation class. Tropicalisation per IEC 60068-1 is documented. RoHS and REACH declarations are standard from Schneider for current-production Multi9 parts.
