Schneider Acti9 iK60N 40A 2P C-Curve 6kA MCB (A9K24240) is an option among MCB circuit breakers at Bashiti Stores, designed to protect the circuit against overloads and short circuits. In this version, the rated current is 40A and the number of poles is 2P. These specifications distinguish the model from other alternatives within the same series; match them with your circuit requirements and do not choose a higher amperage breaker simply to increase the operating margin.
Practical Benefits
- Combines the functions of overload and short-circuit protection 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 rating, number of poles, and tripping curve provides a basis for matching the breaker with the circuit's requirements.

Who Needs This Product?
Electricians, installation contractors, and home or shop owners setting up a new panel or replacing a 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 breaker's appearance.
Installation and Verification Method — For Professional Technicians
The following steps outline the general workflow. Refer to the manufacturer's diagram for reference A9K24240 to determine terminals and torque values. Do not perform work on a circuit connected to a power supply.
- The technician must disconnect all power sources, secure them against accidental re-energization, and verify the absence of voltage with a suitable tool.
- Verify that the device reference, number of poles, current, and voltage match the panel diagram, and check the conductor cross-section and protection coordination.
- Mount the unit onto the rail or its designated position after ensuring compatibility, and identify the supply and load terminals according to the manufacturer's diagram for this reference.
- Perform connections using the torque settings, stripping length, and wire gauges specified in the model manual; do not carry these values over from a similar device.
- Check for secure mounting and connections, replace covers, and perform the required operational and safety 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 the need for 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. You must first identify the cause of the tripping and inspect the load, cables, and connections. Increasing the amperage without a study may leave 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. Neither value is a substitute for the other.
