Schneider C45N C10 Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric C45N series miniature circuit breakers (MCB) are low-voltage distribution protection components introduced by Schneider Electric, suitable for lighting distribution, socket circuits, and protection of small-power motors.This circuit breaker features dual protection against overload and short circuit, with fast and reliable response. It can be installed on a standard 35 mm DIN rail. Its compact design saves space, making it suitable for use as branch protection in residential, commercial, or light industrial electrical systems.

Q1: What does "C10" mean for C45N C10?
A1: In the C45N series, "C10" indicates that the rated current of the circuit breaker is 10 A. The term "C" usually refers to "characteristic curve of type C", while "10" represents 10 amperes. So, it is the C-type characteristic and 10A rated model.

Q2: Can this circuit breaker be used to protect motors?
A2: Although the C-type characteristics of C45N C10 can handle loads with small surges, if the motor starts with large surges (such as high-power motors, frequent starting loads, etc.), it is recommended to use D-type or higher level circuit breakers. When selecting, actual surge current, starting characteristics, etc. should be considered.

Q3:What are the alternative models?

A3: According to Schneider Electric's official FAQ, for the C45N series, it is recommended to replace it with the C60N series and use it under the same rated current, number of poles, and characteristic curve.
