After two years of lockdowns, labour shortages, and supply chain disruption, Canadian manufacturers are poised for growth. To do so, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) need parts that enable them to build products that assemble quickly and easily, meet international standards, and help them achieve their sustainability goals. They also want protection from electrical surges, short-circuiting, and faults.

Schneider Electric's Multi9 line of breakers provides all of that and more. Protection you can trust. The Multi9 lineup includes miniature circuit breakers, surge protection devices, and residual current devices.

Used in conjunction, they offer enhanced protection for both people and equipment from electrical threats such as short circuits, earth leakages, and overloads. Building products for the export market requires meeting multiple international standards. The full Multi9 lineup provides peace of mind wherever the machine is installed, including in UL and IEC influence zones.

Purchasing managers appreciate the fact that all Multi9 devices and accessories are sold under the same commercial reference names, with no variations on naming for different regions. It doesn't matter if you're purchasing in Canada, Europe, or Africa, each product is named the same way everywhere around the world. There continues to be a misconception that lightning strikes are the primary source of electric surges.

In fact, as much as 80% of all surges occur from internal sources. That's why it is important to layer that protection throughout a building, starting at the service entrance and extending all the way to point of use. The Multi9 range as part of a complete offer solution helps accomplish this with our Type 1 devices.

Developed to adhere to Schneider Electric's Green Premium program, all Multi9 products are RoHS and REACh compliant. Green Premium looks at an asset's entire lifecycle to improve efficiency, including the use of energy and natural resources throughout the manufacturing process with the goal of minimizing CO2 emissions and helping our customers achieve new levels of sustainable performance. The broad suite of the Multi9 range provides OEMs with everything they need to build a control panel quickly and easily, with the ability to adapt installations to any configuration.

Multi9 makes it easy for OEMs to build products that meet universal international standards, provide enhanced protection for people and equipment from electrical hazards, and are manufactured to the highest levels of sustainability.
