The C100N42EFM: Breaking capacity is 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC, 50 kA at 415 V, and 30 kA at 690 V — the N code (50 kA at 415 V) defines the standard interrupting rating for distribution duty. The electronic trip unit provides L (long-time overload) and I (instantaneous short-circuit) protection with a 20-minute thermal memory. Fixed-mount, front-connect design with a 70 mm pole pitch. IP40 enclosure, IK07 impact resistance. LCD display and local LED fault indication.
Sizing and application
Rated 1000 A continuous at 50 °C — the trip unit rating matches the frame size, so no derating is needed up to that ambient. Category B utilisation means it is fully selective with downstream breakers — the short-time delay (not present on this basic L/I trip unit) is not required for the instantaneous-only curve; coordination relies on the I²t characteristic.
