Schneider Acti9 iK60N 25A 1P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24120) is an option among the MCBs at Bashiti Stores, designed for circuit protection against overload and short circuits. In this version, the rated current is 25A and the number of poles is 1P. This data distinguishes the model from other alternatives in the same series; match it with your circuit requirements and do not choose a higher-rated breaker simply 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 panel and identify the affected circuit when a fault occurs.
- Selecting the correct current, number of poles, and tripping curve provides a foundation for matching the breaker with circuit requirements.

Who Needs This Product?
Electricians, installation contractors, and home or shop owners who are setting up a new panel or replacing a breaker that matches the existing circuit. The choice 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 work sequence. Use the manufacturer's diagram for reference A9K24120 to determine terminals and tightening values. Work must not be performed on a live circuit.
- The technician disconnects all power sources, secures them against accidental restart, and verifies the absence of voltage with a suitable 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 unit on the rail or its designated slot after confirming compatibility, and identifies the supply and output from the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Executes the connections using the tightening torque, stripping length, and wire cross-sections specified in the model manual; do not carry these values over from a similar device.
- Checks the security of the mounting and connections, then closes the covers and performs the required operating and protection tests before commissioning the circuit.

Common Questions Before Purchasing
Does this breaker protect against earth leakage?
MCBs are designed for overload and short-circuit protection and are not a substitute for earth leakage protection. Review the need for an RCCB or RCBO within the panel design.
Should I replace a breaker that trips constantly with one of a higher amperage?
No. You must first identify the cause of the tripping and check the load, cable, and connections. Increasing the amperage without analysis 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 interrupt under specified voltage and standard conditions. One number cannot be replaced by the other.
