The Schneider Electric EasyPact EZC100H1060 is a 1-pole thermal-magnetic molded-case circuit breaker rated 60 A, built to IEC 60947-2 for distribution duty. It sits in the EasyPact range, which is Schneider's value line for commercial and light industrial panels where you need a reliable MCCB without the premium of a Compact NSX. The TM-D trip unit gives you fixed thermal and magnetic protection — set it and forget it, no adjustment dials. At 60 A and 1 pole, this is a single-phase feeder or branch breaker. The 25 kA breaking capacity at 220–240 V AC covers most North American commercial panel fault levels; the 5 kA at 400–415 V AC is enough for European 400 V three-phase systems where you'd use three of these (one per phase) on a sub-distribution board. The 50 kA at 110–130 V AC is overkill for most jobs but means it handles high-fault utility drops without cascading.
The Icu (ultimate breaking capacity) varies by voltage because arc extinction gets harder as voltage rises. At 240 V AC you get 25 kA — that's the typical short-circuit rating for a 225 A panelboard feeder. At 415 V AC the same breaker drops to 5 kA, which is still adequate for most European distribution boards where the transformer impedance limits fault current below that. The 10 kA at 125 V DC is useful for battery-bank or UPS output circuits. If you need selectivity (keeping the upstream breaker closed while the downstream clears a fault), you step up to a Category B MCCB like the Compact NSX. For a simple radial feed, Category A is fine and saves panel space.
The EZC100H1060 is in active current production. No end-of-life notice has been issued for the EasyPact EZC100H range as of the latest data.
Fixed mounting on a backplate, 25 mm width per pole. Front connection top and bottom — standard for panelboard plug-on or bus-bar stabs. IP20 finger-safe terminals, IK07 impact rating.
Temperature derating — the real-world gotcha
If your panel sits in a hot machine room or near a furnace, you don't need to derate this breaker until you exceed 50 °C. Below -25 °C the thermal trip may be sluggish, but that's rare in indoor distribution.
Compliant with IEC 60947-2 (the main MCCB standard globally), JIS C8201-2-2 (Japanese industrial standard), and GB/T 14048.2 (Chinese GB standard). Rated insulation voltage 690 V AC, so it's fine on 400/480 V systems with margin. No earth-leakage protection built in; if you need RCD functionality, add an external Vigi module or use the EZC100H with earth-leakage option.
