Product details

The TM-D provides L (thermal overload) and I (magnetic short-circuit) protection in one compact package — no add-on electronic module needed, which keeps the bill of materials simple for distribution panels. The 4-pole (4P) configuration with neutral on the left and a 3D neutral protection setting (no protection) means this breaker is wired for a 3-phase + PEN or solidly earthed system where the neutral does not require its own overload element. The breaking capacity code 'F' delivers 36 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC and 85 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC, both conforming to EN/IEC 60947-2. At 480 V AC it still holds 35 kA Icu under UL 60947-4-1. The utilisation category A (non-delayed) means it is suited for distribution, not motor starting where category B coordination is required.

Integration into the enclosure

Front connections on both the line and load sides simplify busbar layout — no rear-access requirement. Overall footprint is 161 mm high × 140 mm wide × 86 mm deep, with IP40 enclosure protection and IK07 impact resistance. Five accessory slots allow plugging in shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, or under-voltage releases without removing the breaker from the panel. The toggle handle provides manual on/off control and a clear visual indication of the contact position.

Durability and environmental limits

Rated for 40,000 mechanical cycles and 40,000 electrical cycles at 440 V In/2 (half rated current), dropping to 20,000 cycles at full rated current 440 V and 7,500 cycles at 690 V In. Relative humidity tolerance of 0–95 % covers non-condensing indoor environments.

Frequently asked questions

What are the key ratings of the C16F6TM160?

The C16F6TM160 is a 160 A, 4-pole moulded-case circuit breaker with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit. Its breaking capacity is 36 kA Icu at 415 V AC and 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC, conforming to EN/IEC 60947-2. It is suitable for isolation per the same standard.

Where can I buy the C16F6TM160 and how is it quoted?

The C16F6TM160 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — send the quantity and we will respond with a firm offer.

What compliance documentation does the C16F6TM160 carry?

The C16F6TM160 is designed to EN/IEC 60947-2 and UL 60947-4-1 standards. It carries IP40 and IK07 protection ratings. Specific RoHS, REACH, or UL listing documentation can be provided upon request as part of the quote process.

What is the closest alternative to the C16F6TM160?

Within the ComPacT NSX family, the closest alternative would be a breaker with the same frame size (NSX160) but a different breaking capacity code or trip unit type. A direct pin-compatible replacement is the C16F6TM160 itself — there is no single alternative that matches all dimensions, ratings, and accessory slot layout without requalification.

What is the depth of the C16F6TM160?

The depth (D) of the C16F6TM160 is 86 mm, with a width of 140 mm and height of 161 mm.
