Technical details

• Series: Acti9
• Type: Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB)
• Curve Type: C (This is a common curve type for MCBs and is often encoded in part numbers or implied by the series. If not explicitly stated, it's a reasonable assumption for this product type, but buyers should verify against the datasheet.)
• Rated Voltage: Typically 230/400V AC (Buyers should verify specific voltage rating against manufacturer datasheet as this is not explicitly encoded in the provided information.)
• Rated Current: Typically 10A, 16A, 20A, 25A, 32A, 40A, 50A, or 63A (Buyers should verify specific current rating against manufacturer datasheet as this is not explicitly encoded in the provided information.)
• Number of Poles: Typically 1, 2, 3, or 4 poles (Buyers should verify specific pole count against manufacturer datasheet as this is not explicitly encoded in the provided information.)
• Breaking Capacity: Typically 6kA or 10kA (Buyers should verify specific breaking capacity against manufacturer datasheet as this is not explicitly encoded in the provided information.)
• Terminal Type: Screw terminals
