ICV40N Differential 1P+N C 16A 300mA Class AC

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iCV40N A9DE7616 is a residual current circuit breaker with overcurrent protection 1P+N RCBO, 16 A, C curve and 300 mA type AC residual current sensitivity. It combines in a single device thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits with residual current protection against earth leakage currents, helping to optimize space and simplify installation in electrical panels.

With a breaking capacity of 6 kA at 230 V AC according to EN/IEC 61009-2-1, this Acti9 device is intended for single-phase distribution circuits. Its compact 36 mm width allows the thermal-magnetic and residual current functions to be combined in one unit, making individual circuit protection easier.

Thermal-magnetic and residual current protection in a single device

The Acti9 iCV40N combines two essential electrical protection functions. On the one hand, it incorporates a thermal-magnetic trip unit that protects the circuit against overloads and short circuits. On the other, it integrates residual current protection capable of detecting earth leakage currents.

This RCBO solution makes it possible to protect a circuit independently without needing to install a separate miniature circuit breaker and residual current device, reducing the number of components required inside the panel.

1P+N with 16 A rated current

Reference A9DE7616 has a 1P+N configuration, with one protected pole and neutral on the left. It is designed for single-phase circuits with a rated current of 16 A and a rated operational voltage of 230 V AC at 50/60 Hz.

C tripping curve

The circuit breaker incorporates a C tripping curve, suitable for many distribution circuits and loads that may present moderate inrush currents during startup.

The magnetic trip threshold is between 5 and 10 times the rated current. Thermal protection acts against sustained overloads, while magnetic protection provides a fast response to short circuits.

300 mA type AC residual current protection

The A9DE7616 incorporates a 300 mA residual current sensitivity and type AC protection. This type of RCD is designed to detect sinusoidal alternating residual currents.

• Residual current sensitivity: 300 mA.
