Product details

Overview

The C160H45EFM is a Schneider ComPacT NS new generation molded case circuit breaker with 4 poles, rated 1600 A at 50 °C and an 85 kA IC at 690 V AC. It carries a MicroLogic 5.0 E electronic trip unit providing LSI protection (long-time, short-time, instantaneous) and includes an integrated energy meter. The breaker is in active production and available through standard distribution channels.

Schneider lists the C160H45EFM as an active, in-production part within the ComPacT NS new generation range. Standard lead times apply; an RFQ is the fastest path to a firm delivery date. Compliance documentation per EN/IEC 60947-2 is available from Schneider upon request.
