Expert Review

• The iC60N 2P C40 is a workhorse breaker.
• It is easy to wire and easy to replace.
• The C curve handles motor and lighting surges well.
• 6 kA covers most small panels and sub-boards.
• The DIN clip holds tight on standard rail.
• It fits tight spaces at 36 mm wide.
• For busy panels, this is a safe, boring choice. That is a good thing.

Manager’s Insight

• Stock this breaker. It moves fast.
• Most callbacks are simple swaps, not repairs.
• A spare on the shelf saves a full shift.
• Buy genuine Acti9 parts to avoid fit issues.
• Keep 2P and 1P versions side by side.
• Track serial batches for warranty claims.

Best Fit Equipment and Applications

• Small distribution boards
• Lighting circuits with inrush current
• Small motor feeds
• Office and shop sub-panels
• Solar DC combiner boxes at 125 V DC
• Machine control cabinets
• Retail and hotel power circuits

FAQ

• Q: How do I pick between C curve and B curve?
  A: Pick C for motors and lamps with inrush. Pick B for pure resistive loads.
• Q: Can I use this on a 400 V three-phase system?
  A: Yes, it is rated for 400 V AC. Use two poles for phase and neutral, or per your design.
• Q: What does the 6 kA number mean for my panel?
  A: It must be equal to or higher than the short-circuit current at that point.
• Q: How often should I replace it?
  A: After a heavy short-circuit trip, test it. Replace if it will not reset or feels loose.
• Q: Do you offer bulk pricing for panel builders?
  A: Yes. Email us your list and quantities for a quote.
• Q: What is the warranty and delivery time?
  A: 12-month warranty. Orders ship in 12-24 hours by FedEx, UPS, or DHL.

Buying Guide

• Check your system voltage first. AC or DC.
• Confirm the pole count you need. This part is 2P.
• Match the current rating to your cable and load.
• Check the fault level at the board. 6 kA must be enough.
• Count spare ways in the panel before you buy.
• Order spare units for critical circuits.
