The H breaking capacity code means it delivers 70 kA Icu at 415 V AC per IEC 60947-2, with a full ladder of ratings from 100 kA at 240 V down to 10 kA at 690 V AC. That SCCR headroom lets it sit confidently in high-fault distribution, not just branch motor circuits. At 161 x 105 x 86 mm (H x W x D), it takes up a standard 3-pole breaker footprint. The IP40 enclosure keeps dust out of the control cabinet; IK07 impact rating handles accidental tool bumps during maintenance. The 100 A MA trip unit is magnetic-only — it sees short-circuit faults, not overloads. That's intentional for motor protection: the overload relay handles the running current, and the breaker clears the high fault.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric C16H3MA100 ComPacT NSX160H, 100 A MA Trip","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric C16H3MA100 ComPacT NSX160H circuit breaker, 100 A magnetic trip unit, 70 kA Icu at 415 V AC.
