Product details

The C16H42D160 is a ComPacT NSX160H 4-pole MCCB rated 160 A at 40 °C with a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit. At 480 V AC the rating holds at 65 kA Icu (UL 60947-4-1), so it stays usable on 480 V services common in North American plants. The MicroLogic 2.2 provides L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), and I (instantaneous) protection curves. Mounts on a backplate in horizontal or vertical orientation (flat on the back). IP40 enclosure protection is fine for clean indoor panels; IK07 impact rating handles accidental tool drops during maintenance.

Selectivity and coordination

For applications requiring zone-selective interlocking or ST delay, a Category B breaker (MicroLogic 5/6 trip units) would be the correct choice. The 4-pole configuration (switched neutral on the left) suits 3-phase + N distribution where the neutral must be protected or switched.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for C16H42D160?

The part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Current pricing and stock position are confirmed at quote time.

What is the breaking capacity of C16H42D160 at 415 V?

70 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. At 480 V AC the UL rating is 65 kA Icu per UL 60947-4-1.

What standards does C16H42D160 comply with?

EN/IEC 60947-2 for the primary standard, with UL 60947-4-1 ratings also listed. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1, overvoltage category III.

What does the MicroLogic 2.2 trip unit protect against?

L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), and I (instantaneous short-circuit). Electronic trip with thermal memory — 20 minutes before and after tripping.
