The C160N35EFM is a 3-pole ComPacT NS new generation MCCB rated 1600 A at 50 °C with a MicroLogic 5.0 E electronic trip unit. That trip unit provides L (long-time overload), S (short-time short-circuit), and I (instantaneous) protection curves, plus integrated energy metering — so it serves as both the main distribution breaker and a power-monitoring point in one package. The 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC (50 kA at 415 V, 30 kA at 690 V) tells you it can interrupt fault currents up to that level without upstream fuses, sized for high-fault-capacity industrial switchboards. The 1600 A frame covers large transformer feeds, busway risers, or generator mains.
Deployment context
Fixed-mount, backplate installation with front-connect terminals — standard for distribution switchboards where the breaker stays in place and cables land on the front face. The 210 mm width, 327 mm height, and 147 mm depth fit typical ComPacT NS cutouts; the 70 mm connection pitch matches busbar drilling patterns for 1600 A class. IP40 enclosure protection means it is suited for indoor panel environments, not washdown areas. Manually operated, no motor mechanism — intended for infrequent switching or as a main disconnect.
IK07 impact resistance and IP40 ingress protection. The MicroLogic 5.0 E trip unit includes thermal memory (20 min) for accurate overload protection after a trip event.
