Schneider Acti9 iK60N 20A 1P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24120) is an option among the MCB circuit breakers at Bashiti Stores, designed to protect the circuit from overloads and short circuits. In this option, the rated current is 20A and the number of poles is 1P. This data distinguishes the model from other alternatives in the same series; match it with the circuit requirements and do not choose a higher-rated circuit breaker just to increase the operating margin.
Practical Benefits
- Combines overload and short-circuit tripping functions in a single modular device.
- Distributing protection across independent circuits helps organize the distribution board and identify the affected circuit in the event of a fault.
- Selecting the correct current rating, number of poles, and tripping curve provides a basis for matching the circuit breaker with the circuit requirements.

Who Needs This Product?
Electricians, installation contractors, and homeowners or shop owners who are setting up a new distribution board or replacing a circuit breaker that matches the 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 Method — For Qualified Technicians
The following steps outline the general work sequence; the manufacturer's diagram for reference A9K24120 must be consulted to determine terminals and torque values. Work must not be performed on a live circuit.
- The technician disconnects all power sources, secures them against re-energization, and verifies the absence of voltage with an appropriate tool.
- Matches the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage with the board diagram, and reviews conductor cross-sections and protection coordination.
- Installs the component on the rail or its designated position after ensuring compatibility, and identifies the supply and output from the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Executes connections using the torque, stripping length, and wire cross-sections specified in the model manual; do not transfer these values from a similar device.
- Checks the tightness of the mounting and connection, then closes covers and conducts the required operational and protection tests before handing over the circuit.

Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does this circuit breaker protect against earth leakage?
An MCB is intended for overload and short-circuit protection and does not replace the need for earth leakage protection. The need for an RCCB or RCBO should be reviewed within the board design.
Should I replace a circuit breaker that trips constantly with one with a higher amperage?
No. The cause of the tripping must first be identified by checking the load, cables, and connections. Increasing the amperage without study may leave the wires without proper 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. One figure cannot replace the other.
