Schneider Electric A9F87106 Acti9 iC60H MCB 1P 6A C-Curve 15kA | Miniature Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric A9F87106 is a 1-pole, 6A C-curve miniature circuit breaker from the Acti9 iC60H range with 15kA breaking capacity – the high-breaking-capacity Acti9 version for main distribution boards and industrial panels close to the transformer. It protects cables and equipment against overloads and short circuits in single-phase final circuits, and is installed on a standard DIN rail inside distribution boards and control panels.

Key features

• C-curve tripping characteristic suited to general loads such as lighting, sockets, air conditioners and small motors (trips at 5–10 × In)
• 1-pole design for single-phase final circuits
• Breaking capacity 15kA
• Positive contact indication – the handle shows the real contact position for safe isolation
• Fast clip-on mounting on 35 mm DIN rail and compatibility with standard comb busbars
• Compatible with Acti9 auxiliaries (auxiliary contacts, shunt trips, Vigi earth-leakage add-ons)

Technical specifications

Typical applications

• Apartment, villa and office distribution boards
• Commercial buildings, malls, hospitals and hotels
• Lighting, socket-outlet and air-conditioning circuits
• Control panels, pump panels and HVAC panels
• Replacement of old or faulty MCBs during maintenance

Selection guide

Match the rated current to the cable size of the circuit (for example 10 A for 1.5 mm² lighting, 16–20 A for 2.5 mm² sockets and 25–32 A for 4–6 mm² air-conditioner lines), choose the curve according to the load inrush, and make sure the breaking capacity is higher than the prospective short-circuit current at the board. For earth-leakage protection, combine the MCB with an Acti9 RCCB or use an RCBO.

Frequently asked questions

What is the A9F87106 used for?

It is a 1P 6A C-curve MCB used to protect single-phase final circuits against overload and short circuit in residential, commercial and industrial distribution boards.

Can the A9F87106 protect against electric shock?

No. An MCB protects cables against overload and short circuit only. For protection against earth leakage and electric shock, add a 30 mA RCCB (residual current circuit breaker) upstream or use an RCBO.

What is the difference between the C curve and the B or D curves?

A C-curve breaker trips magnetically between 5 and 10 times its rated current and suits most general loads. B curve (3–5 × In) is for resistive loads and long cables, while D curve (10–20 × In) is for transformers and motors with high inrush current.
