8 A D-curve breaker for branch circuits
The Schneider Electric M9F43208 is a two-pole miniature circuit breaker rated at 8 A with a D-curve thermal-magnetic trip. It is designed for branch-circuit protection on DIN-rail mounted load centres and carries a 14 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC. The device is UL 489 listed and accepts conductors from 18 AWG to 8 AWG via screw-clamp terminals.
Suited for high-inrush loads on 240–480 V systems
This breaker suits installers protecting circuits with high inrush currents such as motors, transformers or power supplies where a D-curve characteristic is required. It is not for DC applications because the unit has no DC voltage rating. Buyers needing single-pole protection or a different trip curve should select another model.
14 kA AIR at 120/240 V AC decides the fit
The 14 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC is the key specification that determines whether this breaker meets the fault-current requirements of the panelboard. Verify the available short-circuit current at the installation point against this rating before specifying the device.

Questions about this item
How does the 8 A rating affect branch-circuit protection in a real panel?
The breaker trips at 8 A using a thermal-magnetic D-curve, so it tolerates high inrush currents from motors or transformers while still disconnecting sustained overloads on a 120/240 V AC branch circuit.
What does the UL 489 listing and 14 kA AIR rating mean for the installation?
UL 489 certifies the device for branch-circuit protection, and the 14 kA interrupting rating at 120/240 V AC caps the maximum prospective fault current the breaker can safely clear.
What DIN-rail width and screw-clamp wire range does the 4.06 in long frame require?
The C60BP frame mounts on standard DIN rail and accepts 18 AWG to 8 AWG conductors in its screw-clamp terminals.
