Product details

What this 160 A ELCB brings to a distribution board

The C12H34V160L is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSXm earth leakage circuit breaker, 3-pole, rated 160 A at 40 °C with a MicroLogic 4.1 electronic trip unit. Integrated earth-leakage protection with selectable sensitivity (30 mA to 5 A, class A and AC) eliminates a separate RCCB module — one device covers both overcurrent and ground-fault protection.

Backplate-mounted, 9-module pitch (108 mm wide, 144 mm high, 80 mm deep). Front connections top and bottom. Accepts Everlink lugs: 2.5–70 mm² fine stranded copper or 2.5–95 mm² rigid stranded aluminium/copper. Connection pitch is 35 mm with spreaders, 27 mm without — plan your busbar or cable-fan layout accordingly. Pollution degree 3 (IEC 60664-1) and overvoltage category IV — this is the standard spec for industrial distribution boards where conductive pollution or transient overvoltages are expected. IP40 front face, IK07 impact resistance. The grey RAL 7016 enclosure is the standard ComPacT colour.

Durability and environmental range

Rated for 20,000 mechanical cycles and 20,000 electrical cycles at 440 V In/2 (10,000 at 440 V In). Operating altitude 2000 m without derating, up to 5000 m with derating. Relative humidity 0–95%. Network frequency 50/60 Hz. Utilisation category A (non-discriminative, no intentional short-time delay).

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to C12H34V160L in the ComPacT family?

Within the same NSXm frame, the closest sibling would be a 160 A 3P version without integrated earth-leakage (a standard MCCB) if ground-fault protection isn't needed. The earth-leakage variant with a different sensitivity range or class (e.g., class A only, or a fixed 300 mA) would be the parametric alternative — same frame, same breaking capacity, same footprint. No pin-compatible drop-in exists outside the Schneider ComPacT NSXm family.

Who supplies C12H34V160L and how is it quoted for volume purchases?

We source this part through independent distribution channels. Submit an RFQ with your target quantity and delivery window; we'll confirm availability and provide current pricing at quote time. No minimum order quantity restrictions apply.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C12H34V160L?

The part is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1 and overvoltage category IV are documented. RoHS and REACH declarations are available from Schneider Electric's documentation portal for the ComPacT NSXm series.
