Product details

Commissioning engineer's note

The MicroLogic 4.2 electronic trip unit handles overload (L), short-time short-circuit (So) with fixed delay, instantaneous short-circuit (I), and earth-leakage (R) protection — all in one package. Rated 160 A at 40 °C, it delivers 50 kA Icu at 415 V AC per IEC 60947-2, which is the standard industrial distribution fault level for a 400 V panel. The electronic trip means no thermal bi-metals to drift; the 20-minute thermal memory before and after tripping avoids nuisance restarts on reclose.

At 480 V AC (UL 60947-4-1 context) it still holds 50 kA, and at 600 V AC it drops to 10 kA — so for 480 V panels this breaker is well within typical available fault currents. The integrated earth-leakage protection means no separate RCCB module needed; the IΔn rotary switch selects the off position manually.

IP40 enclosure protection (finger-safe), IK07 impact resistance. The toggle control is manual; five accessory slots available for shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, or motor operators.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy C16N34V160 and get a price?

The C16N34V160 is sourced to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm quote.

What is the breaking capacity of C16N34V160 at 415 V?

50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2, which is the standard fault level for 400 V industrial distribution panels.

What protection functions does the MicroLogic 4.2 trip unit provide?

The MicroLogic 4.2 provides overload protection (L) with long-time delay, short-time short-circuit protection (So) with fixed delay, instantaneous short-circuit protection (I), and integrated earth-leakage protection (R).

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C16N34V160?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and UL 60947-4-1 standards. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1. Standard documentation includes IEC declaration of conformity and UL recognition; RoHS and REACH compliance is standard for the ComPacT NSX line.
