Product details

The MGN60878 is a Schneider Electric C60N miniature circuit-breaker from the Multi9 range — a 2-pole, C-curve unit rated 4 A at 50 °C per EN/IEC 60947-2. The C-curve magnetic trip at 8.5 x In (±20%) handles motor inrush and transformer energization without nuisance tripping, but still clears fast on a hard short.

The 20 kA Icu at 240 V AC drops to 10 kA at 415 V and 6 kA at 440 V — that's the standard derating for higher system voltages. For a 240 V delta or line-to-line circuit, that's enough headroom for most commercial panels. At 415/440 V, the 6–10 kA range still covers typical industrial distribution, but check your available fault current before committing.

IP20 rated, so it's for enclosed panels only — no washdown exposure. The toggle gives local ON/OFF indication, and the contact position indicator confirms isolation status per EN/IEC 60947-2.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for MGN60878?

Submit an RFQ through this listing — the part is sourced to order through independent distribution, and availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MGN60878 in this component family?

Within the C60N series, the closest alternative would be a different current rating or pole configuration — the physical footprint and terminal layout are identical across the range. For a direct 2-pole C-curve replacement at a different ampacity, the C60N family offers the same DIN-rail mount and tunnel terminals.

What is MGN60878's listed depth (73 mm) on this component line?

The MGN60878 has a depth of 73 mm, which is standard for the C60N series and fits most DIN-rail enclosures with adequate clearance.

What is MGN60878's listed range (Multi9) on this component line?

The MGN60878 belongs to the Schneider Multi9 range, which is the commercial designation for the C60 series of miniature circuit-breakers.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for MGN60878 (RoHS, REACH, UL, IEC)?

The MGN60878 is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2. The evidence does not list RoHS, REACH, or UL specifically, but as a current-production Schneider part, it typically meets applicable EU directives and UL standards — confirm with the datasheet or your Schneider contact.
