The 65 kA Icu at 440 V AC (50 kA at 690 V) gives you headroom on fault-clearing — that H breaking-capacity code means it handles high-fault panels without cascading upstream. The EVS Trip System5A electronic trip unit covers overload (long time), short-time, and instantaneous short-circuit protection, with a 20-minute thermal memory before and after tripping so you don't nuisance-trip on a reclose. Category B utilisation means it's designed for selectivity with downstream breakers — the short-time delay on the Trip System5A lets you coordinate so a feeder fault doesn't take out the main. Drawout mounting means the breaker slides out of its cradle for inspection or swap without disturbing the bus connections — common in switchgear where uptime matters. IP40 keeps fingers and tools out but isn't sealed against dust or water; this lives inside an enclosure, not on the plant floor. Pollution degree 4 per IEC 60664-1 means the internal clearances handle conductive dust or condensation — typical for industrial switchgear, not clean-room panels. ## Deployment context This breaker mounts on a rail or base plate in a switchgear lineup. Connections are rear vertical or horizontal with a 115 mm pitch without spreader — that pitch matters when you're laying out bus bars or cable lugs. The digital display shows fault type (overload, short-circuit, internal fault) so a field tech reads the cause without pulling logs.","metaTitle":"Schneider Electric EVS16H3MW5A EasyPact EVS Circuit Breaker,","metaDescription":"Schneider Electric EVS16H3MW5A EasyPact EVS circuit breaker. 1600 A rated current at 40 °C, 65 kA breaking capacity at 440 V AC.

Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock or price figures are published here."},{"question":"What does the 65 kA breaking capacity at 440 V mean for my panel?","answer":"The 65 kA Icu at 220...440 V AC is the maximum fault current this breaker can safely interrupt once. If your available fault current at the panel is below that, the breaker clears the fault in 25 ms without needing an upstream device to open — that's the H rating's value for high-fault installations."},{"question":"What protection functions does the EVS Trip System5A provide?","answer":"The EVS Trip System5A provides overload (long-time), short-time short-circuit, and instantaneous short-circuit protection. The 20-minute thermal memory means it remembers the heating history before and after a trip, so a quick reclose doesn't cause a nuisance trip on a still-hot breaker."},{"question":"What are the physical dimensions of the EVS16H3MW5A?","answer":"The EVS16H3MW5A has a depth of 395 mm, width of 441 mm, and height of 439 mm. These are the overall dimensions for the drawout breaker; the 115 mm connection pitch without spreader governs bus-bar spacing."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/schneider/EVS16H3MW5A","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/schneider/EVS16H3MW5A when reusing this data.
