The Schneider Electric C11E6TM016L is a ComPacT NSXm 63E frame circuit breaker, 4-pole, with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 16 A at 40 °C. Mounts on a backplate in horizontal or vertical orientation; the 12-module 9 mm pitch (108 mm wide) and 137 mm height fit standard enclosure cutouts. Front connections top and bottom simplify bus-bar alignment and cable dressing.
Trip unit and protection characteristics
Rated 16 A at 40 °C; no derating required at that ambient for continuous load. For motor branch circuits, pair it with a contactor and overload relay upstream or downstream as the coordination study dictates. No additional creepage or clearance derating needed in standard enclosures.
Durability and environmental ratings
Mechanical durability of 20,000 cycles and electrical durability of 20,000 cycles at 440 V In/2, 10,000 cycles at 440 V In, 10,000 cycles at 690 V In/2, and 5,000 cycles at 690 V In. This covers frequent manual switching for isolation or maintenance — not daily load-break duty, but well above a basic service breaker. IP40 enclosure protection (finger-safe) and IK07 impact resistance (2 J) suit it for general-purpose indoor panels. The grey RAL 7016 finish is standard for Schneider switchgear ranges. Operating altitude to 2000 m without derating, 5000 m with derating. Relative humidity 0–95 % non-condensing. These cover most low- to mid-altitude installations without special provisions.
Everlink lug terminals accept one conductor per side: 2.5–95 mm² rigid or stranded aluminium/copper, or 2.5–70 mm² flexible copper. The 35 mm connection pitch (27 mm without spreaders) matches standard bus-bar centres. Neutral is on the left.
