Product details

The Schneider Electric C16F32D160 is a ComPacT NSX160F 3-pole circuit breaker rated 160 A at 40 °C, fitted with a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit. It delivers 36 kA Icu at 415 V AC (50/60 Hz) per EN/IEC 60947-2, with a full breaking-capacity curve from 85 kA at 240 V down to 8 kA at 690 V.

Above that, derate per the manufacturer's curve. For a 480 V system, the rating drops to 35 kA Icu; at 600 V it's 10 kA. Mounts on a backplate (not DIN rail) — the 105 mm width, 161 mm height, and 86 mm depth fit standard ComPacT cutouts. IP40 front-of-panel protection (IK07 impact rating) suits enclosed distribution boards; not rated for washdown. The toggle control and front-facing connections (both upside and downside) simplify busbar and cable routing in a panel.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy C16F32D160 and how do I get a price?

The C16F32D160 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution; submit an RFQ for current pricing and availability.

What is C16F32D160's breaking capacity at 415 V?

The C16F32D160 provides 36 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2.

What trip unit does the C16F32D160 use?

It uses a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit with L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), and I (instantaneous) protection.

What is the mechanical durability of this breaker?

The C16F32D160 is rated for 40,000 mechanical cycles and 40,000 electrical cycles at 440 V In/2.
