SCHNEIDER MCB 1 POLE

Schneider 1-Pole MCB Highlights

• Schneider Electric Acti9 MCB 1P 6 /A Curve /C – Compact 6 A, type C breaker for small lighting circuits or low-load branches.

• Schneider Electric Easy9 1P 16 /A C Curve MCB – Very common choice (~16 A) for general outlet and lighting protection.

• Schneider Electric Easy9 1P 16 /A B Curve MCB – B-curve version, more sensitive to lower surge currents; useful for purely resistive loads.

• Schneider Easy 9 Single Pole MCB – 32 /A – Higher-current single-pole breaker (~32 A) for heavier circuits (e.g., water heaters, air handlers).

• Schneider Resi9 MCB 1P 32 /A Curve /C – Another 32 A type C variant in the Resi9 range.

• Schneider Electric Acti9 MCB 1P 63 /A – Robust 63 A MCB for larger branch or sub-circuits.

• Schneider Electric LS Switch 1P 4 /A B Curve MCB – Lower-load breaker (~4 A) for small lighting or control circuits.

• Schneider Electric Acti9 A9K MCB 1P 10 /A – Mid-range 10 A type C breaker.

Typical Specifications — Schneider MCB 1 Pole

These are general features common across Schneider single-pole MCBs:

• Device Type: Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) — overload & short-circuit protection. 

• Poles: 1P — protects one live conductor. 

• Rated Voltage: ~230–240 V AC for single-phase circuits. 

• Rated Current Options: Available from a few amps (e.g., 4 A) up to 63 A or more depending on series. 

• Breaking Capacity: Typically 6 kA at 230 V AC (many Easy9/Acti9 models) — some higher-capacity ones offer 10 kA.

• Trip Curves:

  • Type B: trips quickly at lower surges — good for lighting and resistive loads.

  • Type C: standard for general usage (lighting + outlets).

  • Type D: higher inrush tolerance (motors, high inductive loads).

• Mounting: Standard DIN-rail mounting. 

• Standards: Complies with IEC 60898-1 and often IEC 60947-2 for overload/short-circuit protection. 

• IP Protection: Usually IP20 (indoor electrical panel use). 

Quick Usage Notes

• Rated Current: Choose closer to the actual circuit load — e.g., 6–10 A for lighting, 16–32 A for outlets or larger loads.

• Trip Curve: Type C is the most versatile for mixed usage. Type B is more sensitive, and Type D tolerates higher inrush currents without nuisance trips.

• Breaking Capacity: Higher kA ratings (e.g., 10 kA) give better protection in systems with higher fault currents.
