Product details

The C16H6TM160C is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX160H four-pole (4P) circuit breaker with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 160 A at 50 °C. At 220/240 V AC it rises to 100 kA Icu; at 690 V AC it drops to 10 kA Icu, so confirm the available fault current at your service voltage before specifying.

Mounting, environment, and panel integration

The 140 mm width and 161 mm height fit a standard NSX cutout; depth is 86 mm. Pollution degree 3 (IEC 60664-1) and overvoltage category III mean it's rated for the industrial environment inside a panel where conductive dust and transient surges are expected. IP40 front face keeps tools and fingers out; IK07 impact resistance handles incidental panel-door knocks.

Durability and application class

Rated for 40,000 mechanical cycles and 40,000 electrical cycles at 440 V at half rated current (In/2). At full rated current (In) at 440 V, electrical durability drops to 20,000 cycles; at 690 V In it is 7,500 cycles. The toggle control gives clear visual indication of contact position, consistent with its suitability for isolation.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for C16H6TM160C?

Pricing and availability are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ through independent distribution. Submit an RFQ for current lead time and price.

What is the breaking capacity of C16H6TM160C at 415 V?

The C16H6TM160C is rated 70 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. At 220/240 V AC it is 100 kA Icu; at 690 V AC it is 10 kA Icu.
