ICV40N Differential 1P+N C 10A 300mA Class AC

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iCV40N A9DE7610 is a residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection, also known as a RCBO, which combines in a single device thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits with residual current protection against earth leakage currents. It features a 1P+N configuration, rated current of 10 A, C curve, residual current sensitivity of 300 mA and AC type, offering a compact solution for distribution electrical panels.

The A9DE7610 reference belongs to Schneider Electric's professional Acti9 iCV40N range. It has one protected pole and neutral, operates at 230 V AC and 50/60 Hz, and offers a rated breaking capacity of 6 kA according to EN/IEC 61009. Its 36 mm format allows thermal-magnetic and residual current protection to be integrated while occupying only two conventional modules in the panel.

Thermal-magnetic and residual current protection in a single device

Unlike a conventional residual current device, the Acti9 iCV40N A9DE7610 also incorporates overcurrent protection. In this way, a single device protects the circuit against different types of electrical fault.

• Overloads: by means of thermal protection.
• Short circuits: by means of magnetic protection.
• Earth leakage currents: by means of integrated residual current protection.
• Fire risk associated with leakage currents: by means of a 300 mA residual current sensitivity.

This combination reduces the number of devices required in the panel and facilitates individual protection of lines and circuits.

1P+N with one protected pole

The Schneider Electric A9DE7610 has a 1P+N configuration. The phase pole incorporates thermal-magnetic protection, while the neutral is disconnected together with the phase.

• Total number of poles: 2.
• Configuration: 1P+N.
• Number of protected poles: 1.
• Neutral position: left.
• Rated current: 10 A.

C tripping curve

The thermal-magnetic protection uses a C tripping curve, suitable for many distribution circuits with moderate inrush currents.

The magnetic tripping threshold of a C curve is in the range of 5 to 10 times the rated current. In this 10 A model, magnetic operation is designed to respond quickly to high short-circuit currents.

300 mA type AC residual current sensitivity

The A9DE7610 incorporates residual current protection with a rated sensitivity of 300 mA and type AC class. This class is designed to detect sinusoidal alternating residual currents.

• Residual current sensitivity: 300 mA.
• Residual current class: type AC.
• Residual current delay: instantaneous.
• Residual current protection: integrated.

A 300 mA sensitivity is mainly used as protection against insulation faults and fire risk and should not be confused with the 30 mA devices commonly used as additional protection against electric shock.

6 kA breaking capacity

The Acti9 iCV40N A9DE7610 has a rated breaking capacity Icn of 6 kA at 230 V AC according to EN/IEC 61009.

The iCV40N family is developed for applications that require a higher breaking capacity than the standard iCV40 variant. Schneider Electric specifies for the iCV40N range a capacity of 10 kA according to IEC/EN 60947-2 under the conditions established by that standard.

• Icn according to EN/IEC 61009: 6 kA.
• Breaking capacity of the iCV40N range according to IEC/EN 60947-2: 10 kA.
• Energy limiting class: 3.

230 V AC rated voltage

This residual current-magnetic circuit breaker is designed for single-phase low-voltage installations.

• Rated voltage: 230 V AC.
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz.
• Network type: alternating current.
• Rated insulation voltage Ui: 400 V.
• Rated impulse withstand voltage Uimp: 4 kV.
• Overvoltage category: III.
• Pollution degree: 3.

Instantaneous residual current tripping

The residual current protection is instantaneous, with no intentional time delay. When the device detects a differential current that reaches the specified operating level, it disconnects the protected circuit.

This function is combined with the integrated thermal and magnetic protections to provide multiple protection from a single modular device.

VisiTrip and status indication

The Acti9 iCV40 range includes local indication to make it easier to identify the device status and tripping events. This helps distinguish a protection operation and simplifies diagnosis in panels with multiple circuits.

The Acti9 design also includes contact position indication and features aimed at facilitating maintenance and installation checks.

Suitable for isolation

Schneider Electric specifies suitability for isolation or disconnection according to EN/IEC 61009-2-1. This allows the device to be used to isolate the circuit within the conditions provided by the manufacturer and applicable regulations.

Compact 36 mm format

One of the main advantages of the iCV40N is the integration of the two protection functions in a compact format. The A9DE7610 reference has a width of 36 mm, equivalent to four 9 mm pitches or two conventional 18 mm modules.

• Height: 85 mm.
• Width: 36 mm.
• Depth: 73 mm.
• 9 mm pitches: 4.
• Weight: approximately 210 g.
• Color: white.

DIN rail mounting

The Schneider Electric A9DE7610 is designed for clip-on DIN rail mounting, making it easy to integrate into modular distribution panels.

The terminals can be used from the top or bottom and allow flexible installation inside the panel.

Conductor connection

The RCBO includes tunnel terminals suitable for rigid and flexible conductors.

• Rigid conductor: 1 to 16 mm².
• Flexible conductor: 1 to 10 mm².
• Strip length: 14 mm.
• Tightening torque: 2 Nm.
• Connection: top or bottom.

20,000-cycle durability

The Acti9 iCV40N is designed to offer a long service life in professional electrical panels.

• Mechanical durability: 20,000 cycles.
• Electrical durability: 20,000 cycles.
• Power loss: approximately 2.9 W.

IP20 protection

The device has an IP20 protection rating according to IEC 60529. Properly installed inside a suitable modular enclosure, it can achieve a higher front protection rating depending on the panel configuration.

• Device protection rating: IP20.
• Protection rating in modular enclosure: up to IP40.
• Operating ambient temperature: -5 to 60 °C.
• Storage temperature: -40 to 85 °C.
• Relative humidity: up to 95% at 55 °C.
• Operating altitude: up to 2000 m.

Compliant with EN/IEC 61009

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iCV40N A9DE7610 is developed in accordance with the standards applicable to residual current circuit breakers with overcurrent protection, including EN/IEC 61009-2-1.

Its integrated design makes it possible to have in a single device the functions that would otherwise require a separate MCB and residual current protection.
