Product details

It carries a 36 kA Icu breaking capacity at 750 V DC (3P) per EN/IEC 60947-2, meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level on a 750 V DC bus without upstream coordination failure. The frame is supplied without a trip unit (basic frame), so the buyer selects and installs the appropriate electronic or thermal-magnetic trip unit separately to match the load's protection curve.

The 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage (Uimp) confirms the insulation coordination for surge-prone installations.

Fixed mounting on a backplate with front connections. Connection pitch is 35 mm. The toggle control provides manual on/off and trip indication. IP40 front face and IK07 impact resistance suit panel installation where occasional tool contact or light impact is possible. Class II insulation on the front face means no protective earth connection is required on the operator side.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for C16F3D?

Submit an RFQ against this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through the authorized distribution channel.

What is the C16F3D's breaking capacity at 750 V DC?

The C16F3D has a 36 kA Icu (ultimate breaking capacity) at 750 V DC with 3 poles, per IEC 60947-2. The service breaking capacity Ics is also 36 kA at the same voltage.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C16F3D?

The C16F3D is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and carries IP40 (IEC 60529) and IK07 (EN 50102) ratings. It is suitable for isolation per EN/IEC 60947-2. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1 and overvoltage category III are specified. RoHS/REACH/UL documentation is typically available from Schneider Electric upon request.
