Schneider Acti9 iK60N 16 Amp 2P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24216) is an option among the MCB circuit breakers at Bashiti Stores, designed to protect circuits from overloads and short circuits. In this version, the rated current is 16A and the number of poles is 2P. These specifications distinguish the model from other alternatives in the same series; match them 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 protection 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 the foundation for aligning the breaker with the circuit's requirements.

Who Needs This Product?
Electricians, installation contractors, homeowners, and 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 the device type or appearance.
Installation and Verification Procedure — For Qualified Technicians
The following steps outline the general workflow. Refer to the manufacturer's manual for model A9K24216 to determine terminal and torque values. Do not perform work on a live circuit.
- The technician must disconnect all power sources and secure them against reconnection, then verify the absence of voltage with a suitable tool.
- Check that the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage match the panel diagram; review conductor cross-sections and protection coordination.
- Mount the device on the rail or designated slot after confirming compatibility, and identify the supply and load terminals from the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Perform the connections using the tightening torque, stripping length, and wire cross-sections specified in the model manual; do not reuse these values from similar devices.
- Verify the tightness of the installation and 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?
MCBs are designed for overloads and short circuits and do not replace earth leakage protection. The need for an RCCB or RCBO should be reviewed within the panel design.
Should I replace a frequently tripping breaker 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 assessment may leave 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 disconnect under specified voltage and standard conditions. Neither value is interchangeable with the other.
