The Schneider Electric C16F4TM100 is a ComPacT NSX160F moulded-case circuit breaker (MCCB) with a 100 A thermal-magnetic TM-D trip unit, four poles, and a breaking capacity of 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC. The TM-D trip provides L (overload) protection via thermal bi-metal and I (short-circuit) protection via magnetic coil — a straightforward, field-proven combination that avoids the nuisance trips of electronic units on high-inrush loads.
The 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC drops to 36 kA at 415 V AC and 22 kA at 525 V AC. At 690 V the Icu is 8 kA, so this frame is not the right choice for 690 V distribution unless the fault current is tightly limited.
Front connections top and bottom; 35 mm connection pitch. IP40 enclosure protection means it is suited for clean indoor panels, not washdown areas.
Mechanical durability is 40,000 cycles; electrical durability is 40,000 cycles at 440 V at half rated current, 20,000 cycles at full rated current. Overvoltage category III, utilisation category A (non-frequent switching).
