Product details

The H breaking capacity code means it clears 70 kA Icu at 415 V AC (50/60 Hz) per EN/IEC 60947-2, and still holds 65 kA at 440 V and 50 kA at 500 V. That puts it squarely in the high-fault panel class: suitable for main or feeder protection in distribution boards where the available fault current runs above 50 kA.

The TM-D trip unit gives you fixed thermal (L) and magnetic (I) protection curves — no interchangeable rating plugs, no electronic adjustment. At 440 V the breaker still delivers 65 kA Icu, which covers most industrial 480Y/277 V panels. The 4-pole configuration with neutral left and 1 x Ir neutral protection setting means it switches all four poles and protects the neutral at the same level as the phase — common for 4-wire distribution where the neutral carries load. Mechanical durability is 40,000 cycles; electrical durability at rated current (440 V In) is 20,000 cycles. That's typical for a distribution-grade MCCB — not a motor-switching duty cycle, but fine for infrequent manual switching or backup isolation.

Front connections both top and bottom, with a 35 mm connection pitch.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the C16H4TM160 at 415 V?

70 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. At 440 V it's 65 kA, at 500 V it's 50 kA, and at 690 V it derates to 10 kA.

What trip unit does the C16H4TM160 use?

A fixed thermal-magnetic TM-D unit with L (overload thermal) and I (short-circuit magnetic) protection. No electronic adjustment or interchangeable rating plugs.

Where can I buy the C16H4TM160 and how is it quoted?

Sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — no stock figures or lead-time numbers on the public listing.

What compliance documentation is available for the C16H4TM160?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and carries an IP40 rating per IEC 60529 and IK07 per IEC 62262. Overvoltage category III, pollution degree 3. Standard Schneider documentation includes the declaration of conformity; RoHS and REACH status is covered by the manufacturer's material declarations.
