Schneider 60161 is a Multi 9 C60N miniature circuit breaker designed to protect electrical circuits against short circuits and overcurrent conditions. Rated at 10 A and 240 V AC, this two-pole device features a D-curve trip characteristic, making it suitable for motors, transformers and other loads with high inrush currents. Its magnetic release operates at approximately 10 to 14 times the rated current, helping to reduce unwanted tripping during equipment start-up.
The circuit breaker provides a short-circuit interrupting rating of 10 kA at 240 V AC and is certified to UL 489, CSA C22.2 No. 5.1 and IEC 60947-2 requirements. It can be mounted on a standard 35 mm DIN rail or installed using flush or surface mounting arrangements. Box-lug terminals accommodate a broad range of copper conductor sizes, while the compact 36 mm-wide enclosure makes the 60161 well suited to OEM panels, control cabinets and industrial power distribution assemblies.
