Product details

The C16N4TM160C is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX160N moulded-case circuit breaker, 4-pole, with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated 160 A at 50 °C. The 50 kA Icu at 415 V AC (50/60 Hz) per EN/IEC 60947-2 tells you it safely interrupts faults up to that level without upstream cascading — that is the N breaking capacity code. For a distribution board feeding motor control centres or a main switchboard, this is the SCCR headroom you need to coordinate downstream devices. The TM-D trip gives fixed thermal (overload) and fixed magnetic (short-circuit) protection; no adjustment dials, which simplifies specification but means the Ir and Im are factory-set.

Front connections both upside and downside. Width 140 mm, height 161 mm, depth 86 mm. Neutral is on the left. IP40 enclosure protection means it is fine inside a panel; IK07 impact resistance handles accidental tool drops during commissioning.

Rated for 40,000 mechanical cycles and 40,000 electrical cycles at 440 V In/2 (20,000 at full In). That is a solid duty cycle for a distribution breaker — not a switching device, but it handles occasional load-break without wearing out prematurely.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get current pricing and availability for C16N4TM160C?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels. No stock count or price is published here.

What is C16N4TM160C's breaking capacity at 415 V?

50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per EN/IEC 60947-2. That is the N breaking capacity code — sufficient for most industrial main switchboards and large distribution panels.

What compliance documentation does this breaker carry?

It is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2, with IP40 per IEC 60529, IK07 per IEC 62262, and pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1. Suitability for isolation is confirmed. RoHS and REACH compliance are standard for the ComPacT NSX series.
