Product details

Above that, derate per the thermal curve in the datasheet. The 3-pole configuration (3P) covers three-phase loads. The TM-D trip unit is fixed, non-interchangeable, so what you order is what you get — no field-swap of trip curves.

Mounts on a backplate (not DIN rail) — the 9-module pitch at 81 mm width and 137 mm height fits standard distribution board cutouts. Connection is front-face on both line and load sides, using compression lugs or busbars. The 35 mm connection pitch with spreaders (27 mm without) matches common busbar systems. IP40 front-of-panel protection means it is splash-resistant from the front but not sealed — keep it inside the enclosure, not in a washdown zone. The grey RAL 7016 colour is the standard Schneider panel aesthetic. The flag indicator (green) shows auxiliary contact status at a glance.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C12E3TM125B?

Performance level E: 16 kA at 415 V AC, per the IEC 60947-2 standard. This is the maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt at that voltage.

What standards does the C12E3TM125B comply with?

It is designed and tested to EN/IEC 60947-2, the standard for low-voltage switchgear and controlgear. It is suitable for isolation per that same standard. Pollution degree 3 (IEC 60664-1) and overvoltage category III apply.
