Product details

At 240 V the breaker delivers 40 kA Icu, and at 500 V it still holds 15 kA Icu — all per IEC 60947-2.

The thermal element tracks the 160 A rating at 50 °C; the magnetic pickup is fixed, not adjustable. This is a distribution-grade breaker (utilisation category A), not a motor-circuit protector — no instantaneous adjustment range is offered. Neutral protection is set to no protection (3D), meaning the neutral pole is not protected against overload; the breaker opens all poles on a phase fault.

The 140 mm width and 161 mm height fit the standard ComPacT NSX cutout. IP40 enclosure protection and IK07 impact resistance are adequate for dry indoor panel environments. Operating altitude is 0–2000 m without derating; above that, derate per the manufacturer's curve.
