Overview
The C100L320FM is a Schneider ComPacT NS new generation 3-pole molded case circuit breaker rated 1000 A at 50 °C with a 150 kA breaking capacity at 690 V AC, carrying a MicroLogic 2.0 electronic trip unit for L and I protection. It is fixed-mounted, manually operated, and complies with EN/IEC 60947-2; the front face is Class II insulated, and the unit includes one NO/NC auxiliary contact.
Compared to the C160H320FM, the C100L320FM delivers a higher breaking capacity (150 kA vs 85 kA) but a lower switching current (1000 A vs 1600 A). Pick the C160H320FM when the load exceeds 1000 A and the available fault current stays under 85 kA; stay with the C100L320FM for high-fault panels up to 1000 A.
