C120N Circuit-Breaker
Multi 9 Merlin Gerin

The C120N circuit-breaker is a miniature device adapted to final distribution

in the industry and tertiary sectors:
c Outgoer in medium power switchboard.
c Enclosure supply end.

Operation

C120N: 18351

c Protection of cables against overloads and short-circuits:

v C curve: standard networks,
v B curve: for very long cables or networks supplied by low short-circuit
current generators,
v D curve: for circuits with a strong inrush current
(motors, transformers).
c Manual control and isolation.

Advantages
c Compliance with international standards: EN 60898 and IEC 60947-2.
c Ratings from 63 to 125 A (1 to 4-pole).
c Breaking capacity of 10 000 A under 400 V.
c Characteristics adapted to the industrial environment:
v insulation voltage Ui: 500 V,
v impulse voltage Uimp: 6 kV.
c Service breaking capacity: Ics = 75 % Icu.
c Positive break indication.
c Installation on rail using bistable pawl.
c Total compatibility with Pragma enclosures and Prisma cubicles.
c Design, performances and range coherent with C60 circuit-breakers.
c Remote tripping and indication by adding clip-on electrical auxiliaries,
which are common with C60 circuit-breakers.
c Earth leakage protection when combined with a Vigi C120 module.
