The Schneider Electric C100H45AFM is a ComPacT NS new generation molded case circuit breaker rated 1000 A at 50 °C, configured as a 4-pole fixed-mount unit with a MicroLogic 5.0 A electronic trip unit. The trip curve covers L (long-time overload), S (short-time short-circuit), and I (instantaneous short-circuit) protection — the standard LSI suite for distribution feeders where selective coordination matters. The 70 kA Icu at 415 V AC (per IEC 60947-2) means this breaker safely interrupts faults up to that level without upstream cascading; at 240 V AC the interrupting rating rises to 85 kA Icu.
Fixed-mount design — the breaker bolts to a backplate, not a DIN rail. Dimensions are 327 mm high by 280 mm wide by 147 mm deep, with a 70 mm connection pitch between phases. Front-facing upper and lower connections simplify bus-bar or cable landing in a switchboard lineup. IP40 enclosure protection and IK07 impact resistance per EN 50102 are adequate for enclosed distribution panels; the breaker is not rated for washdown environments.
Pollution degree 3 (industrial environment), overvoltage category III. The electronic trip unit includes a 20-minute thermal memory for accurate overload protection after a trip — per the datasheet, this prevents nuisance reclosing onto a still-hot conductor.
