The C11H6TM032L is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSXm 63H frame 4-pole circuit breaker with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 32 A at 40 °C. The 70 kA breaking capacity at 415 V AC (performance level H) means it interrupts fault currents up to that level without upstream cascading — sized for high-fault distribution panels where SCCR headroom is tight.
What the ratings mean for fit
The 32 A In at 40 °C is the continuous current rating under the TM-D curve — the thermal element tracks overloads, the magnetic element handles short-circuits. Category A utilisation (EN/IEC 60947-2) means it is not intended for motor starting under load; it is a distribution breaker for cable and busbar protection. The 70 kA Icu at 415 V AC (H performance level) is the maximum short-circuit current the breaker can safely interrupt once. In a panel with upstream transformer impedance or current-limiting fuses, this gives selectivity headroom without needing a larger frame. Everlink terminals accept 2.5...95 mm² rigid or stranded aluminium/copper (70 mm² flexible copper) — one lug per pole, front-connected both sides. The 35 mm connection pitch with spreaders (27 mm without) matches standard DIN-rail busbar systems.
Where it is used
Mounted on a backplate (horizontal or vertical, flat on the back), this breaker fits distribution boards, sub-distribution panels, and switchgear assemblies. The 4P configuration with neutral left is standard for three-phase + N systems in commercial and light industrial installations. IP40 enclosure protection (IK07 impact) suits indoor panel mounting where dust ingress is controlled. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1 means it tolerates conductive pollution — typical for factory-floor enclosures not sealed to IP54.
