RCD IID 2P 25A 30mA Class AC

The Schneider Electric Acti9 iID K A9R60225 residual current circuit breaker is a bipolar RCCB device rated at 25 A with 30 mA sensitivity, designed to detect earth leakage currents and automatically disconnect the circuit. Its 2-pole, AC class and instantaneous tripping configuration is especially suited to residential electrical installations supplied at 220-240 V AC.

This Schneider Electric RCD increases installation safety against insulation faults and sinusoidal alternating residual currents. It includes a test button to periodically verify operation, modular DIN rail mounting, and a compact 36 mm width, equivalent to two 18 mm modules.

30 mA residual current protection

The Schneider Electric A9R60225 has a rated residual current IΔn of 30 mA. This sensitivity is intended to provide additional protection for people against risks associated with earth leakage currents under the conditions specified by the regulations and by Schneider Electric.

When the difference between the current entering and returning through the circuit reaches the trip threshold, the residual current mechanism opens the poles and disconnects the supply.

AC class RCD

The A9R60225 reference belongs to AC class. This means it is designed to detect sinusoidal alternating residual differential currents.

The selection of the RCD type must always be made according to the connected loads and the requirements of the installation. For equipment that may generate pulsating or direct residual components, other classes of RCDs, such as type A or special types, may be required depending on the application.

2 poles and 25 A rated current

The Acti9 iID K features 2 poles and a rated current of 25 A. The neutral position is on the left side, according to the configuration specified by Schneider Electric.

It is especially suitable for single-phase residential circuits and other installations compatible with an operating voltage of 220 to 240 V AC at 50/60 Hz.

Instantaneous tripping

The residual current protection is of the instantaneous type, so it does not include an intentional time delay. When a residual current is detected that reaches the trip conditions, the device acts quickly to disconnect the circuit.

This feature distinguishes it from selective or time-delayed RCDs used in certain installations where coordination between different protection levels is required.

Voltage-independent tripping technology

Schneider Electric specifies for the A9R60225 a voltage-independent residual current tripping technology.

The operation of the residual current detection mechanism does not depend on auxiliary electronic power to disconnect in the event of a leakage within its rated conditions.

Integrated test button

The residual current circuit breaker includes a test button that allows manual checking of the protection mechanism.

Periodic testing, in accordance with Schneider Electric recommendations and the maintenance conditions of the installation, helps verify that the device can trip correctly.

Modular DIN rail mounting

The Schneider Electric A9R60225 is designed for clip-on installation on DIN rail, making it easy to integrate into residential and distribution electrical panels.

It has a width of 36 mm, equivalent to two standard 18 mm modules or four 9 mm steps. Its double-clip system also makes it easier to remove the device when a distribution comb is installed.

Electrical characteristics

The RCD is designed for 50/60 Hz AC networks and has the following main electrical characteristics:

• Rated current In: 25 A.
• Residual current sensitivity IΔn: 30 mA.
• Number of poles: 2P.

Conditional short-circuit current

The A9R60225 is an RCCB residual current circuit breaker, so its main function is to protect against leakage currents and it does not itself include thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits.

Schneider Electric indicates the following conditional short-circuit current values when used with the specified upstream protections:

• With C60 circuit breaker: Inc of 6 kA.
• With K60 circuit breaker: Inc of 6 kA.
• With gL63 protection: Inc of 4.5 kA.

Therefore, it must be installed together with properly sized overcurrent protection for the circuit.

Connections for rigid and flexible conductors

The tunnel-type terminals allow conductors to be connected from the top or bottom of the device.

• Rigid conductors: from 1 to 35 mm².
• Flexible conductors: from 1 to 25 mm².
• Flexible conductors with ferrule: from 1 to 25 mm².
• Stripping length: 16 mm.
• Tightening torque: 3.5 Nm.

These connection options make it easy to use in electrical panels with different cable cross-sections.
