Schneider Electric C60BP 20 A Z Curve 1 Pole Circuit Breaker

Single-Pole Branch Protection

The Schneider Electric C60BP is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 20 A with a Z-curve thermal-magnetic trip. It is designed for branch-circuit protection on DIN-rail panels where precise, fast tripping safeguards sensitive electronic loads. The unit carries a UL 489 listing and a 14 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC.

Z-Curve Trip Characteristic

The Z-curve response trips between 2 and 3 times the rated current, providing tighter overload discrimination than standard B or C curves. This behaviour reduces nuisance tripping on circuits with high inrush while still clearing faults quickly enough to protect semiconductor devices and control transformers. No additional accessories or software are bundled with the breaker itself.

Voltage Range and Conductor Limits

The breaker handles AC systems up to 480 V and DC circuits up to 60 V, with a 63 A frame size that gives headroom for co-ordination studies. Screw-clamp terminals accept conductors from 18 AWG to 8 AWG, allowing straightforward installation in compact panels. It is not suited for multi-pole applications or for loads that require a higher interrupting capacity than 14 kA.
