FAQ

Q: What does the C-curve mean for my load?
A: C-curve trips at 5 to 10 times rated current. It handles moderate inrush. Good for small motors and transformers. Not ideal for pure resistive heaters which prefer B-curve.

Q: Can I use this breaker for DC circuits?
A: Yes. Rated voltage is 125V DC. But check polarity and arc suppression. For higher DC voltages, use a DC-rated breaker.

Q: How do I know if this is genuine Schneider?
A: Buy from authorized sources. Check packaging hologram and traceability code. Our stock comes from official channels.

Q: What if the breaker trips often?
A: First check for overload or short. Then verify load does not exceed 32A. If load is fine, replace breaker. Persistent tripping may indicate wiring fault.

Q: Is a 1P breaker enough for 230V single phase?
A: Yes for phase protection. But neutral must be separately protected or isolated. For full isolation, use 1P+N or 2P.

Q: How to choose between 6kA and 10kA?
A: 6kA covers most panelboards with moderate fault current. 10kA suits heavy industrial mains. Check your system fault level before buying.

Q: Can I mount this sideways?
A: Vertical or horizontal DIN rail is fine. But keep ventilation space. Avoid mounting near heat sources.

Q: What wire size for 32A?
A: Use 6 mm² copper for short runs. For longer runs, up to 10 mm². Follow local electrical code.

Q: Does it come with a test certificate?
A: No individual certificate. But the product meets IEC standards. Batch test reports available on request.

Q: How to order in bulk?
A: Email sales@powergearx.com or WhatsApp +86 18030005825. Share quantity and target price. We reply within 12 hours.

Buying Guide

• Check your panel’s fault current before choosing breaking capacity.
• Match trip curve to load type: B for resistive, C for mixed, D for high inrush.
• Confirm pole count: 1P for phase only, 1P+N for phase and neutral.
• Verify voltage: 230/400 V AC for most single-phase and three-phase systems.
• Buy from a source that offers 12-month warranty and fast dispatch.
• For automation projects, pair with Acti9 auxiliaries for status feedback.
