Product details

The C60H3P20AB is a 3-pole miniature circuit breaker from Schneider Electric's Multi9 C60 range, rated 20 A at 30 °C with a B curve (magnetic trip between 3 and 5 times In). The B curve means it trips fast on moderate overloads — typical for resistive or general-purpose loads where you want protection without nuisance tripping from small inrush. The 10 kA Icu at 440 V AC (30 kA at 230 V AC) tells you it can interrupt a fault up to that level without welding its contacts, which is the figure you need for SCCR coordination downstream of a transformer or main panel.

Occupies 6 modules of 9 mm pitch (54 mm width total) on the DIN rail. Tunnel-type terminals accept up to 25 mm² rigid or 16 mm² flexible conductors; strip length is 14 mm and tightening torque is 2 N.m. The toggle handle gives local ON/OFF indication, and a contact position indicator confirms isolation status — useful when verifying the circuit is dead before working downstream. Tropicalisation per IEC 60068-1 means it handles 95 % relative humidity at 55 °C without condensation issues, so it's fine for non-conditioned enclosures in humid environments.

Selectivity and coordination

The Ics (service breaking capacity) is 15 kA at 440 V AC, which is 100 % of the Icu at that voltage — meaning after clearing a fault at that level, the breaker is still usable, not destroyed. That's a practical advantage for maintenance spares planning: fewer replacements after fault events.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C60H3P20AB?

10 kA Icu at 440 V AC, 30 kA at 230 V AC, and 15 kA Ics at 440 V AC — all per IEC 60947-2.

Where can I buy C60H3P20AB?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; availability and current pricing confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest alternative to C60H3P20AB in the same family?

Within the Multi9 C60 range, the same 3-pole 20 A rating is available in C curve (C60H3P20AC) for motor or transformer loads with higher inrush, and D curve (C60H3P20AD) for very high inrush applications like welding equipment. The B curve version is the standard choice for resistive and general-purpose circuits.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C60H3P20AB?

The part carries IEC 60947-2 certification for breaking capacity, isolation, and limitation class. Tropicalisation conforms to IEC 60068-1. Specific RoHS/REACH/UL documentation should be requested at quote time as it varies by manufacturing batch.
