Schneider Acti9 iK60N 16A 1P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24116) is an option among the MCBs at Bashiti Stores, designed to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. In this version, the rated current is 16 amps and it features a 1P pole configuration. These specifications distinguish this model from other alternatives in the same series; ensure they match your circuit requirements and do not select a higher-rated breaker simply to increase the operating margin.
Practical Benefits
- Combines overload and short-circuit protection functions in a single modular device.
- Distributing protection across independent circuits helps organize the panel and identify the affected circuit in case of a fault.
- Selecting the correct current, number of poles, and tripping curve provides the basis for aligning the breaker with circuit requirements.

Who needs this product?
Electricians, installation contractors, and homeowners or shop owners who are setting up a new panel or replacing a breaker that matches an existing circuit. Selection depends on the circuit design, cable cross-section, and installation method, not just on the device type or the appearance of the breaker.
Installation and Verification Procedure — For Authorized Technicians
The following steps outline the general workflow. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for reference A9K24116 to identify terminals and torque values. Do not perform work on a circuit connected to a power supply.
- The technician disconnects all power sources, secures them against reactivation, and verifies the absence of voltage with an appropriate tool.
- Matches the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage with the panel diagram, and reviews the conductor cross-section and protection coordination.
- Installs the component on the rail or its designated position after confirming compatibility, and identifies the supply and output based on the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Executes connections using the torque, stripping length, and wire gauges specified in the model manual; do not transfer these values from a similar device.
- Checks the integrity of the installation and connections, closes the covers, and performs the required functional and protection tests before handing over the circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does this breaker protect against earth leakage?
An MCB is designed for overload and short-circuit protection and does not replace earth leakage protection. Consult the need for an RCCB or RCBO within the panel design.
Should I replace a frequently tripping breaker with one that has a higher amperage?
No. You must first identify the cause of the tripping and inspect the load, cable, and connections. Increasing the amperage without proper study may leave the wires without adequate protection.
What is the difference between Amperage and Breaking Capacity?
Amperage is the rated current of the breaker, while breaking capacity describes the level of short-circuit current it can safely disconnect under specified voltage and standard conditions. Do not substitute one figure for the other.
