Product details

The Schneider Electric C60H3P16AC is a C60H-series miniature circuit breaker from the Multi9 range, rated 16 A at 30 °C on a 3-pole configuration with a C-curve trip characteristic (5–10 × In magnetic trip limit). The C-curve means the magnetic trip activates between 5 and 10 times the rated current — so for this 16 A breaker, instantaneous trip occurs between 80 A and 160 A.

Breaking capacity is 10 kA Icu at 440 V AC (IEC 60947-2), stepping up to 15 kA at 400–415 V AC and 30 kA at 230–240 V AC. For DC applications, it handles 25 kA at 125 V DC (2-pole series) and 40 kA at 125 V DC (3-pole series). These figures give the panel designer headroom for selectivity coordination downstream. A 10 kA Icu at 440 V covers most industrial secondary distribution scenarios; the higher Ics rating (15 kA) means the breaker can be relied on for repeated fault clearing without immediate replacement, which matters for uptime in continuous-process lines.

That's enough for a 6 AWG feed on the line side in most panel builds. The 54 mm width (6 x 9 mm pitches) means it occupies six module spaces on the DIN rail. Factor that into your enclosure fill calculations — a 24-way board loses six positions to this single breaker.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C60H3P16AC?

The breaking capacity is 10 kA Icu at 440 V AC, 15 kA Icu at 400–415 V AC, and 30 kA Icu at 230–240 V AC, all per IEC 60947-2. The rated service breaking capacity (Ics) is 15 kA at 12–440 V AC.

What is the C60H3P16AC used for?

It is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker rated 16 A with a C-curve, used for distribution in industrial and commercial panels — protecting branch circuits with mixed resistive and moderate inductive loads like lighting, small motors, and general power outlets.

How do I get pricing and availability for C60H3P16AC?

This part is sourced to order through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current pricing and confirmed availability — figures are confirmed at quote time and vary with market conditions.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C60H3P16AC?

The breaker carries IEC 60947-2 certification for breaking capacity and isolation suitability, plus IEC 60068-1 tropicalisation class 2. Standard Schneider documentation includes the declaration of conformity and test certificates; request these with your RFQ.
