Product details

It's a 3-pole unit built to EN/IEC 60947-2, Category A, meaning it's designed for distribution-level overcurrent protection where the short-circuit rating matters more than selectivity coordination with downstream devices. Breaking capacity is 30 kA Icu at 240 V AC phase-to-phase, 15 kA at 415 V AC, and 10 kA at 440 V AC — all conforming to EN/IEC 60947-2. The Ics (service breaking capacity) is 50% of Icu at those AC voltages, and 100% at 125 V DC, so it clears faults and can be reclosed after a downstream event at the rated service level.

Snaps onto 35 mm symmetrical DIN rail (EN 60715). The 54 mm width for 3 poles (6 x 9 mm pitches) is standard — fits a 6-module slot in any distribution board. Depth is 73 mm, which clears most standard enclosures; check gland-plate clearance if the panel is shallow. That's a solid connection for panel wiring — no ferrules needed for stranded, but they're fine if you use them.

The C-curve trips magnetically at 8.5 x In (±20%), so the 6 A unit holds through motor inrush up to about 51 A peak and clears faster on higher faults. That's the standard choice for general distribution and moderate inductive loads — not for high-inrush transformers or long cable runs where a D-curve might be needed. The DC breaking capacity is 25 kA Icu at 125 V DC — useful for DC bus protection in drives or battery-backed circuits.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of MGN60638?

The MGN60638 has a breaking capacity of 30 kA Icu at 240 V AC phase-to-phase, 15 kA at 415 V AC, 10 kA at 440 V AC, and 25 kA at 125 V DC, all conforming to EN/IEC 60947-2.

What is the closest alternative to MGN60638 in the C60 family?

Within the C60 range, the C60H (MGN60638) sits above the standard C60N on breaking capacity. The C60N offers lower Icu ratings (typically 10-15 kA at 240 V AC) for less demanding installations. The C60H is the right choice where higher fault current capability is specified on the single-line diagram.

What compliance documentation does MGN60638 carry?

The MGN60638 is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2. It carries IP20 protection per that standard. The evidence does not list RoHS, REACH, or UL documentation specifically, but as a Schneider Multi9 product it typically meets EU directives — verify specific compliance documents with your order.
