The Schneider Electric C40n Vigi is a residual current device (RCD) designed for overcurrent protection and earth leakage detection in electrical distribution systems. This 1-pole + neutral (1P+N) device is part of the Schneider Electric Vigi family, known for its robust safety features and reliable performance in demanding industrial environments. It is commonly integrated into main distribution panels and sub-distribution boards to safeguard personnel and equipment from electrical faults.

Technical Details

• Series: Vigi
• Type: C40n
• Configuration: 1 Pole + Neutral (1P+N)
• Current Rating: 40 Amperes (40A)
• Sensitivity: 30 milliAmperes (30mA)
• Breaking Capacity: CL.AC.C (This designation typically refers to the device's ability to interrupt fault currents under AC conditions and its tripping curve characteristics. Specific values should be verified against the manufacturer's datasheet.)
• Functionality: Provides overcurrent protection (short-circuit and overload) and residual current protection against earth faults.
• Tripping Curve: Type C (Indicates a tripping characteristic suitable for loads with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting or socket outlets.)

Applications & Compatibility

This Schneider Electric C40n Vigi is suitable for use in commercial and industrial electrical installations, including control panels, motor control centers, and power distribution units. It is frequently employed in applications requiring enhanced safety, such as in areas with increased risk of electric shock, and is compatible with standard DIN rail mounting systems for easy integration into existing switchgear.
