Schneider Electric R9F23106 - Leitungsschutzschalter Resi9 1P 6A B Charakteristik 6kA

Installed in residential and light commercial distribution boards, the Schneider Electric Resi9 R9F23106 is a single-pole miniature circuit breaker that protects 230 V circuits against overloads and short-circuits. Electricians and panel builders choose it for final distribution protection of lighting and socket outlets in homes, apartments, and small offices. Its B-curve thermal-magnetic trip unit ensures fast response to high inrush currents while maintaining discrimination with downstream devices.

Why choose it

This MCB delivers reliable protection in a compact 18 mm width, freeing up space in crowded distribution boards. The B-curve characteristic is ideal for circuits with moderate inrush currents, such as lighting and general-purpose socket circuits. Schneider Electric's Resi9 range is known for its ease of installation, with clear terminal markings and a secure DIN rail clip. The 6 kA breaking capacity meets the requirements of most residential and commercial installations, ensuring safety under fault conditions.

Ideal use cases

• Protection of lighting circuits in homes and apartments
• Protection of socket outlet circuits in residential buildings
• Final distribution in small commercial panels (shops, offices)
• Replacement for existing 6 A B-curve MCBs in Schneider Electric or other compatible boards
• Use in sub-distribution boards where a 6 kA breaking capacity is sufficient

Good to know

The R9F23106 is part of the Resi9 range, which is fully compatible with standard 35 mm DIN rails and common distribution boards. It features a trip-free mechanism, meaning the breaker cannot be held closed under fault conditions. The thermal-magnetic trip unit provides both overload protection (via bimetallic element) and short-circuit protection (via magnetic coil). For enhanced safety, the breaker has a clear ON/OFF indication and a padlockable handle in the OFF position (with optional accessory). Always ensure the upstream protective device provides adequate backup protection if the prospective short-circuit current exceeds 6 kA.
