Multi 9™ Products for Equipment Applications
Multi 9 modular system of miniature circuit breakers and supplementary protectors, accessories, and
peripherals provides protection of equipment or especially sensitive circuits within the equipment.
Installation labor and space are both minimized by the modular architecture of the Multi 9 system,
whether a single protective device or multiple devices with their accessories are being used.
Schneider Electric offers an extensive line of UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Circuit Breakers and UL 1077
Supplementary Protectors. In addition, a variety of IEC certified Circuit Breakers and Accessories are
available for an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) whose products are destined for export
beyond North America. To an OEM, this means that one family of electrical protection products can be
used regardless of equipment destination.

UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Standard–Branch Circuit Protection
An OEM product as a whole must be appropriately protected from overcurrent conditions, either by
connection in the field to a protected branch circuit (in accordance with NEC) or by inclusion of branch
circuit protection within the product itself. In the United States, these branch circuit protection devices
must comply with the UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Standard for Molded-Case Circuit Breakers. (see UL
489/CSA C22.2 No.5 No. 1 in Figure 3, which is a drawing of a hypothetical piece of OEM equipment
requiring multiple protection devices.)
Applications Requiring UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Listed Circuit Breakers
In some instances, the protective devices being installed in equipment must comply with UL 489/CSA
C22.2 No.5. These include the following situations:
1. If a circuit such as a convenience receptacle could leave the equipment, that circuit must be
protected by a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 branch circuit protection device (see UL 489/CSA C22.2
No.5 No. 2).
2. If a circuit such as to an external motor could leave the equipment, that circuit must be protected by
a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 branch circuit protection device (see UL 489 No. 3).
3. Motors within the equipment should also be protected by a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 device (see UL
489 No. 4).
4. All equipment which requires HACR (Heating, Air Conditioning, and Refrigeration) rating must be
protected by a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 branch circuit protection device (see UL 489 No. 5).
NOTE: The motor control circuit may be protected by a UL 1077 device. It must also have over current
protection even though there is a UL 1077 device downstream.
In general, a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 circuit breaker could also be used in any application for which a
UL 1077 device is allowed, since the UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 devices meet or exceed the
requirements of UL 1077 devices. The converse of this is not true, since UL 1077 devices cannot meet
the more stringent UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Standard.
UL 1077 Standard—Supplementary Protection within the Product
Within the OEM product itself, additional (supplementary) protection for sensitive or critical internal
circuitry may be provided by one or more supplementary circuit protectors. A supplementary protector
is an overcurrent protection device which is specifically designed for OEM applications and which
complies with UL 1077 Standard for Supplementary Protectors for Use in Electrical Equipment.
Under UL 1077, supplementary protectors may be used under the following conditions:
•
When branch overcurrent protection is already provided
•
If short-circuit protection is needed for sensitive devices within the equipment
•
When wiring connected to the supplementary protector does not exit the equipment to external
devices such as receptacles or motors
•
If the UL 1077 device does not provide the only means of disconnecting the product
The following applications illustrated in Figure 3 allow the use of UL 1077 supplementary protectors:
•
The supplementary protection is used to supplement or provide additional protection to sensitive
components inside the equipment (see UL 1077 No. 1). A UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 circuit breaker
must be located upstream from the equipment.
•
Critical or sensitive internal circuitry (see UL 1077 No. 2) such as: Computers and microprocessors,
communications equipment, electronic controllers, power supplies and many other types of equipment
•
Motor control circuits may be protected by a UL 1077 device, unless the circuit includes a
transformer (in which case a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 device is required).

Multi 9™ System Catalog
Section 1—Introduction
UL 486 Standard—Connection Terminals
The UL 486 Standard applies to compression wiring connection terminals. It is a requirement for
connections of a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 circuit breaker. Although it is not a requirement for UL 1077
Recognized devices, UL 486 Rated terminals are included on those Multi 9 products. This allows the
user to apply field wiring directly to any of these devices, without using intermediate, UL rated terminal
blocks.
The connectors on Multi 9 devices are Rated UL 486A-B, which applies to copper conductors.
These standards apply to field-wired terminals that are an integral part of the equipment. Criteria
includes static heating tests, secureness tests, and pull-out tests.
IEC 60947-2 Standard
In countries which follow the IEC Standards, IEC 60947-2 is used for most industrial applications of
circuit protection. IEC 60947-2 does not distinguish between the two levels of protection equivalent to
UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 circuit breakers and 1077 supplementary protectors. Therefore, in equipment
like that illustrated in figure 3, if IEC guidelines apply, then all of the devices could be selected from the
IEC Rated portion of this catalog.
IEC 60898 Standard
The IEC 60898 Standard is less stringent than 60947-2. It applies primarily to residential applications
of circuit breakers in countries adhering to IEC Standards, and is not generally applicable to OEMs.
CCC Mark
CSA C22.2 Standard
The CSA (Canadian Standards Association) C22.2 Standards closely correspond to the UL Standards:
CSA C22.2 No. 5-02 (harmonized to UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5) and CSA C22.2 No. 235 (equivalent to
UL 1077). All UL rated devices also have the corresponding CSA rating, unless otherwise noted.
CCC Mark
The China Compulsory Certification (CCC) mark is a new safety and quality mark system. Compulsory
Product Certification System (CPCS) prohibits the sale or importation of equipment under the scope of
the law that does not bear the CCC Mark issued by a Designated Certification Body (DCB). The CCC
Mark covers both safety and Electromagnetic compatibility.
The CPCS regulates twenty-two different product groups, which include the following:
Electrical wires and cables; switches for circuits, installation protective and connection devices; lowvoltage electrical apparatus; small power motors; electric tools; welding machines; household and
similar electrical appliances; audio and video apparatus; information technology equipment; lighting
apparatus; telecommunications terminal equipment; motor vehicles and safety parts; motor vehicle
tires; safety glass; agricultural machinery; latex products; medical devices; fire fighting equipment;
detectors for intruder alarm systems; wireless local area network equipment; security and protection
equipment; and decoration and renovation products.
UL 508 Standard—Manual Motor Controllers
UL Standard 508 covers industrial control equipment, specifically for motor control functions. It covers
individual devices as well as assemblies.
There are UL 508 Listed manual motor controllers that look much like miniature circuit breakers, and
have thermal settings and instantaneous settings similar to circuit breakers. These are specialized
devices and cannot be used for a wide range of applications, as can UL 1077 and UL 489/CSA C22.2
No.5 devices.
Like UL 1077 supplementary protectors, a UL 508 Listed manual motor controller (or a group of them)
must be protected by a UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5 Listed branch circuit breaker.
The Multi 9 system includes several families of miniature circuit protection devices that have the UL
ratings required in the United States and some other countries. The products are summarized below
and are described in detail on the following pages. They include the following families:
•
UL Listed C60 240 V Circuit Breakers (UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5)
•
UL Listed C60 480 V Circuit Breakers (UL 489/CSA C22.2 No.5)
•
UL Listed C60 Circuit Breakers for use in Communication Equipment (UL 489A) not CSA certified
•
UL Recognized C60 Supplementary Protectors (UL 1077 and CSA C22.2 No. 235)
NOTE: Protection devices with only IEC ratings are described in Section 3, while accessories for both
the UL and IEC devices are described in Section 5.

Time/Current Curves
C curve—Provides control and protection against circuit overcurrents in tertiary and industrial final
distribution with TT or TNS grounding systems. Magnetic trip units operate between 5 and 10 times
ampere rating.
Accessories
These devices may be used in conjunction with the C60 electrical accessories, including the SD alarm
switch, OF auxiliary switch, MN undervoltage release, and/or the MX + OF shunt trip and auxiliary switch.
The C60 family of Multi 9 circuit breakers meeting IEC 60947-2 is available primarily for equipment for
export from the United States to countries requiring IEC Certification rather than UL Listing.
Three types of IEC Rated C60 devices are available: C60N, C60H, and C60L circuit breakers. These
model numbers refer to the maximum current interrupting (Ultimate Breaking Capacity) ratings.
Each of these devices is available with several characteristic trip curve ratings, as listed in the tables
with catalog numbers. They include devices ranging from 1 to 63 A. (For higher current ratings, select
devices from the higher current C120 series.)

The IEC Rated C120H family of Multi 9 circuit breakers meets the requirements of IEC 947-2 and are
available for OEMs wishing to export manufactured products to countries requiring IEC Certification
instead of UL Listing.
They are suitable for protection of cables against overloads and short circuits in equipment. They can
also be used for manual control and isolation of circuits.
The C120H circuit breakers are available in B, C, and D trip curves, as listed in Table 19. They include
devices ranging from 63 to 125 A. (For lower current ratings, select devices from the C60 series.)
