Rated operational current sits at 160 A in AC-22 (resistive/mixed loads) and 100 A in AC-23 (motor switching with high inrush). That 690 V AC operational voltage covers most 400 V three-phase panels with headroom. At 81 mm wide, 137 mm tall, and 80 mm deep, it fits a standard panel cutout, and the 27 mm connection pitch keeps wiring neat on the rail. Terminals accept 2.5 to 120 mm² crimp lugs (copper or aluminium), or busbar connectors. ## Ratings that matter in the panel Short-time withstand (Icw) is 1500 A for 1 s, which covers downstream fault clearing coordination. The short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 2.13 kA for the switch-disconnector alone, but jumps to 150 kA when backed by an upstream breaker — that's the real-world coordination figure for selectivity studies. IP40 enclosure keeps fingers and tools out; IK07 impact rating handles a 2 J knock during panel work. Class II double-insulated — no earth connection needed on the mounting plate.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric C123160BS ComPacT NSXm Switch Disconnecto","metaDescription":"Active Schneider ComPacT NSXm 160NA 3P switch disconnector, 160A AC-22 / 100A AC-23, 690V, isolation rated.
