What makes this breaker stand out

Two-pole design means both live conductors are interrupted simultaneously, reducing the risk of backfeed and enhancing overall safety in 480 V circuits. This is especially important for protecting feeders and small-draw loads where consistent, reliable trip performance matters. With a dedicated part number (MGN61317), maintenance and replacements stay straightforward in compatible Schneider Electric installations, minimizing downtime and ensuring continuity of protection.

Ideal use scenarios

• Protecting low-current, 480 V distribution feeders in commercial electrical panels or light-industrial switchgear.
• Providing reliable overcurrent protection for control circuits and small equipment with dual-line protection requirements.
• Retrofit or upkeep in systems that specify the MGN61317 part number to maintain consistency across Schneider Electric installations.

Why it matters for your system

Reliable overcurrent protection is more than a label on a breaker. The MGN61317 delivers the essential combination of safety and control for 480 V circuits, helping prevent damage from overloads and short circuits. Its 2-pole configuration ensures that both conductors are cleared together, which is critical for protecting equipment, reducing arc risk, and maintaining electrical integrity in distribution networks.

Installation and compatibility notes

Ensure this 6 A, 2-Pole 480 V breaker is used in compatible Schneider Electric panels or enclosures designed for the MGN series. Verify that the surrounding components and bus arrangements meet local electrical codes and the installation’s safety requirements. When replacing or upgrading, matching the Part Number (MGN61317) helps preserve system integrity and simplifies sourcing of compatible accessories or replacements.
