Product details

It is rated for distribution applications per EN/IEC 60947-2, with a breaking capacity of 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC and 36 kA Icu at 415 V AC — the F code.

The TM-D trip unit is thermal-magnetic, not electronic, so no auxiliary power is needed for the trip function, and the magnetic pickup is fixed (not adjustable). Suitability for isolation is confirmed per EN/IEC 60947-2, meaning the breaker can serve as a disconnecting means in the circuit.

Mounts on a backplate in horizontal or vertical orientation. Front connections on both line and load sides. Width 105 mm, height 161 mm, depth 86 mm — fits standard panel cutouts for the NSX160 frame. IP40 front face, IK07 impact resistance.

Frequently asked questions

What is C16F3TM160C's breaking capacity at 415 V?

36 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2, which is the F breaking capacity code.

Where can I buy C16F3TM160C and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C16F3TM160C?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2, with suitability for isolation confirmed. IP40 and IK07 ratings are per IEC 60529 and IEC 62262 respectively. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1.
