The 160 A rating at 40 °C means it handles a full 160 A continuous load without derating up to that ambient — useful when the panel's running warm but not hot.
IEC 60947-2 rates Icu as the ultimate breaking capacity — the breaker can interrupt a 50 kA fault once and still be functional afterward, though you'd replace it after that event. At 480 V AC it still delivers 50 kA Icu per UL 60947-4-1, so it's a solid pick for 480 V distribution panels common in North American plants. The 10 kA Icu at 690 V AC tells you it's not meant for 690 V main feeders, but that's fine for a 415 V or 480 V line-up. Utilisation category A means it's not intended for motor starting duty where you'd need category B coordination. It's a distribution breaker — sized for cable and busbar protection, not for switching motor loads directly. If you're feeding a motor starter from this breaker, the starter's contactor handles the switching; the breaker just protects the feeder.
The 140 mm width and 161 mm height fit the standard ComPacT NSX cut-out pattern, so it swaps into an existing NSX160N panel layout without re-drilling. Four poles with neutral on the left, and the toggle control gives a clear visual on/off state from across the panel.
