Product details

Schneider Electric C16F44V160 is a ComPacT NSX160F 4-pole MCCB rated 160 A at 40 °C with a MicroLogic 4.2 electronic trip unit. The trip unit provides L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), I (instantaneous short-circuit), and integrated R (earth-leakage) protection. At 415 V AC it still holds 36 kA Icu, enough for most industrial distribution boards.

Built for the pit — mounting and environment

Mounts on a backplate in horizontal or vertical orientation. IK07 impact rating shrugs off a 2 J hammer blow during installation. Operating altitude to 2000 m without derating, up to 5000 m with derating. The 86 mm depth and 140 mm width fit standard distribution board cutouts.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy C16F44V160 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution channels. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm lead time.

What is the breaking capacity of C16F44V160 at different voltages?

85 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC, 36 kA at 380/415 V AC, 35 kA at 440 V, 30 kA at 500 V, 22 kA at 525 V, and 8 kA at 660/690 V AC, all per IEC 60947-2. Also rated 85 kA at 240 V, 35 kA at 480 V, and 10 kA at 600 V per UL 60947-4-1.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for C16F44V160?

The part is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and UL 60947-4-1. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1. IP40 per IEC 60529, IK07 per IEC 62262. Standard documentation includes the nameplate ratings, test certificates, and the full ComPacT NSX family manual.

What is the closest alternative to C16F44V160 in the ComPacT NSX family?

Within the same frame size (NSX160F), the closest alternative would be a variant with a different trip unit or accessory configuration — for example, a MicroLogic 2.3 instead of 4.2 (no earth-leakage), or a different breaking capacity code. Pin compatibility depends on the mounting base and busbar system; the 4P 160 A frame is shared across the NSX160 range.
