Description
Providing reliable three-phase protection, the Schneider Electric 24464 is a 6A breaker from the Multi 9 C60 family. It safeguards industrial equipment against overloads. The device fastens onto 35mm DIN rails, integrating seamlessly into Multi 9 modular enclosures. For maintaining older systems, this model acts as an exact replacement and is succeeded by the M9F22306. With its C-curve trip characteristic, it allows for moderate inrush currents while providing a 5kAIC rating at 480Y/277VAC.Specifications

Product FAQs
9 answersWhat is the direct replacement for the discontinued Merlin Gerin 24464?
Schneider Electric has replaced the 24464 with the Multi 9 C60SP series, specifically part number M9F22306. This newer model maintains the 6A, 3-pole, C-curve specifications and UL 1077 rating.
What trip curve does the 24464 circuit breaker feature?
This Multi 9 C60N breaker features a C-curve trip characteristic. It is designed to trip between 5 and 10 times the rated current, making it suitable for general purpose loads and control circuits with moderate inrush currents.
Is the Merlin Gerin 24464 rated as a branch circuit breaker?
No, the 24464 is a UL 1077 supplementary protector. It is designed to provide additional protection within appliances or electrical equipment where branch circuit protection is already provided or not required.
Can I use this C60N breaker in a standard Square D QO or Homeline load center?
No, this is a DIN rail mounted miniature circuit breaker designed for industrial control panels and Multi 9 modular enclosures. It will not fit in standard residential QO or Homeline load centers.
How is the 24464 circuit breaker mounted inside an enclosure?
This breaker snaps directly onto a standard 35mm DIN rail. It utilizes a modular design that allows for dense side-by-side mounting in industrial control panels.
What accessories are compatible with the Multi 9 C60N series?
The C60N series accepts a variety of field-installable accessories, including auxiliary contacts, alarm contacts, shunt trips, and undervoltage releases. These accessories clip onto the side of the breaker to expand control capabilities.
Does this breaker provide ground fault or arc fault protection?
No, the 24464 is a standard thermal-magnetic supplementary protector. It provides overload and short-circuit protection but does not include GFCI or AFCI capabilities.
Can I use this 3-pole breaker on a single-phase system?
While it is a 3-pole device intended for three-phase applications, it can be used in single-phase circuits by wiring through one or two poles. However, all poles are internally linked and will trip simultaneously if a fault occurs on any connected pole.
What does the 10kA at 240VAC rating indicate for this device?
This is the short-circuit current rating or interrupting capacity. It means the breaker can safely interrupt a fault current up to 10,000 amps at 240V AC without sustaining catastrophic damage.
