Merlin Gerin Multi 9 RCBO Combination

Description

This is a modular residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection (RCBO) from the Merlin Gerin Multi 9 series. The unit consists of a C60N miniature circuit breaker combined with a Vigi C60 add-on block for earth leakage protection. It is a reliable solution for protecting personnel and equipment in commercial and industrial electrical installations.

Label Info

• Model C60N: C3, 230V, 6000, 10kA IEC947.2, P/N 24185
• Model Vigi C60: IAN 0,300A, P/N 26511

Application

Ideal for final circuit protection in applications requiring both overcurrent (overload and short-circuit) and earth fault protection. Commonly used in distribution boards for lighting circuits, outlets, and small motors where a lower current rating is sufficient and 300mA leakage protection is specified (e.g., for fire protection).

Country of Origin

The Merlin Gerin brand originates from France. Production location may vary.

CO2 Impact

By purchasing this pre-owned component, you are contributing to the circular economy and helping to avoid approximately 10 kg of CO2 emissions associated with the production of a new unit. This saving is comparable to the emissions from driving a standard car for 50 kilometers.

Availability

This is an obsolete item but available from our stock. Ideal for replacing a faulty unit in an existing installation without needing to upgrade the entire panel. Order now from PLC2Day for expert support and fast delivery.

FAQ

Tripping curves define the current level at which the circuit breaker will trip instantaneously. Curve C, like on this model, is for general purpose applications with moderate inrush currents (e.g., lighting, outlets) and trips between 5 and 10 times the rated current. Curve B is more sensitive (3-5x) for resistive loads, while Curve D is less sensitive (10-20x) for high inrush loads like transformers and large motors.

An AC-type RCD, like this Vigi C60, is designed to detect sinusoidal alternating current earth faults. It is the standard type for general-purpose circuits with loads that do not produce pulsating DC fault currents. For circuits with electronic equipment (like PCs or inverters), a Type A or B RCD is often required.

Yes, this is a modular system. The Vigi C60 add-on block can be unclipped from the side of the C60N MCB. This allows for flexibility in replacing either the breaker or the RCD block individually if one of them fails.
