Schneider Acti9 iK60N 40A 1P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24140) is an option among the MCB circuit breakers at Beshaiti Stores, designed to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. In this version, the rated current is 40A and the number of poles is 1P. These specifications distinguish this model from other alternatives in the same series; match them with your circuit requirements and do not choose a higher-amperage breaker just to increase your operating margin.
Practical Benefits
- Combines overload and short-circuit protection functions in one modular device.
- Distributing protection across independent circuits helps organize the panel and identify the affected circuit in the event of a fault.
- Choosing 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 wiring method, not solely on the device type or appearance.
Installation and Verification Method — For Qualified Technicians
The following steps outline the general work sequence; the manufacturer's diagram for reference A9K24140 must be followed to determine terminals and torque values. Work must never be performed on a live circuit.
- The technician disconnects all power sources, secures them against accidental reactivation, and verifies the absence of voltage with a suitable tool.
- Match the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage with the panel diagram, and check conductor cross-sections and protection coordination.
- Mount the device on the rail or its designated position after ensuring compatibility, and identify the supply and load terminals from the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Perform connections using the specific tightening torque, stripping length, and wire gauges specified in the model manual; do not carry over these values from similar devices.
- Check the tightness of connections, close the covers, and perform the required operational and protection tests before handing over the circuit.
Frequently Asked Questions Before Buying
Does this breaker protect against earth leakage?
An MCB is intended for overload and short-circuit protection and does not replace earth leakage protection. The need for an RCCB or RCBO should be reviewed within the panel design.
Should I replace a breaker that trips constantly with one of a higher amperage?
No. First, identify the cause of the tripping and inspect the load, cable, and connections. Increasing the amperage without study may leave the wires without appropriate 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. These two figures are not interchangeable.
