Product details

That's enough headroom for most industrial service-entrance and sub-feed applications where the available fault current sits in the 50–65 kA range.

The TM-D trip unit gives you fixed thermal (overload) and magnetic (short-circuit) protection — no interchangeable rating plugs, no electronic adjustments. At 40 °C it's rated a full 100 A continuous. The magnetic pickup is factory-set, so if you're coordinating with downstream breakers, you need to confirm the instantaneous trip threshold (typically around 10x In for TM-D) fits your selectivity curve.

Mounts flat on a backplate — no DIN rail. The 105 mm width and 161 mm height fit standard MCCB panel cutouts. Pollution degree 3 (IEC 60664-1) means it's fine for control rooms and dry industrial enclosures; if your environment sees conductive dust or condensation, you'll want an IP-rated enclosure over the IP40 face.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to C16H3TM100 in this component family?

Within the NSX160H frame, the C16H3TM100 is the 100 A TM-D variant. A higher-current sibling (e.g., 160 A TM-D) shares the same footprint and terminal layout but changes the trip rating. No exact pin-compatible substitute exists with a different trip technology without rewiring the control circuit.

What compliance documentation does this brand provide for C16H3TM100?

The C16H3TM100 carries IEC 60947-2 certification and UL 60947-4-1 listing (the UL data appears in the breaking capacity table). Standard Schneider documentation includes the Declaration of Conformity, RoHS and REACH compliance statements, and the product data sheet.
