For mixed resistive-inductive loads (AC-22), it carries the full 160 A. The short-circuit making capacity (Icm) is 2.13 kA for the switch-disconnector alone, but rises to 150 kA when installed with an upstream circuit breaker — that coordination is critical for panel selectivity studies. The rated short-time withstand current (Icw) is 1500 A for 1 s or 3 s, and 335 A for 20 s, which defines how long the device can carry fault current while the upstream protection clears. The fixed-mount form factor and 108 mm width mean it occupies four standard 27 mm pole pitches. Terminals accept crimp lugs from 2.5 to 120 mm² for rigid or stranded aluminium/copper, or 2.5 to 95 mm² for flexible aluminium/copper bars — sized for the 160 A continuous rating. IP40 enclosure protection and IK07 impact resistance suit it for general-purpose panel installation where no washdown or dust ingress is expected.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric C124160BS ComPacT NSXm 160NA Switch Disco","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric C124160BS ComPacT NSXm 160NA switch disconnector, 4 poles, 160 A thermal current, AC-22/AC-23 rated.
