PXB9N-32 Series Miniature Circuit Breakers With Isolation Function
The PXB9N-32 miniature circuit breaker provides overload and short-circuit protection within its published 6A–32A range. Selection should be based on the circuit voltage, conductor, load behaviour, prospective fault current and applicable installation rules—not the ampere rating alone.
Product Overview
PXB9N-32 is a miniature circuit breaker for 230V AC final-distribution circuits. The verified product range covers 6A–32A, 1P+N, B / C / D curves and 6kA (Icn/Ics) short-circuit data.
The 1P+N miniature circuit breaker format makes the PXB9N-32 MCB a compact 32A MCB option for single-phase distribution projects.
The saved model record lists EN/IEC 60898-1; GB/T 10963.1 as the applicable standard reference. No certification claim is added beyond the saved model record.
Key Features
Typical Applications
Typical project contexts include residential, commercial and light-industrial final distribution. Suitability depends on the actual load and circuit study: conductor ampacity, inrush current, fault level, pole and neutral requirements, enclosure conditions and local rules.
Applications and Selection Guide
Use the verified model values below to create a shortlist, then validate the complete circuit. Product ratings do not replace conductor calculations, a fault-current study, coordination review or local installation requirements.

Ordering Guide
- Specify the exact model: PXB9N-32.
- State the required current rating within 6A–32A.
- Confirm pole arrangement: 1P+N.
- Confirm trip curve: B / C / D.
- Provide system voltage, expected fault level, destination market, quantity and document requirements.
Installation and Coordination Checks
- Use the exact model drawing and instructions; do not infer supply direction, neutral routing or terminal positions from another product.
- Verify conductor material and cross-section against the circuit calculation and published terminal data.
- Confirm fault level, upstream/downstream coordination, enclosure temperature, grouping, altitude and clearances.
- Installation, isolation, testing and maintenance must be carried out by qualified personnel under applicable rules.

PXB9N-32 Product FAQ
What is the PXB9N-32 miniature circuit breaker?
The PXB9N-32 is a miniature circuit breaker that provides overload and short-circuit protection in the published 6A–32A range. It does not add residual-current protection; use a separate RCD or a suitable RCBO when that function is required.
How does the PXB9N-32 miniature circuit breaker work?
A thermal element responds to sustained overloads and a magnetic element responds to high fault current. Actual tripping behaviour depends on current magnitude, selected curve, reference conditions and the complete circuit.
What does the PXB9N-32 6kA rating mean?
The saved product data lists 6kA (Icn/Ics). This is short-circuit breaking data, not the normal load current. The prospective short-circuit current at the installation point must not exceed the applicable rating.
Which trip curve should be selected for the PXB9N-32?
The published options are B / C / D. Selection should reflect normal current, starting or inrush current and the fault current available for timely operation; no curve is automatically best for every load.
How should the PXB9N-32 pole configuration be selected?
Available arrangements are 1P+N. Confirm the supply system and which live conductors—and, where required, the neutral—must be switched, protected and isolated together.
How should the PXB9N-32 miniature circuit breaker be installed?
Use the exact product drawing and instructions. A qualified installer should verify voltage, conductor size, terminal torque, fault level, panel fit, enclosure conditions and coordination before energising the circuit.
