Product details

The TM-D trip provides fixed thermal overload protection (L) and fixed magnetic short-circuit protection (I), so there are no adjustment dials; what you order is what you set. Breaking capacity is the headline: 50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC, 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. In a panel with a transformer or large motor contribution, that rating decides whether the breaker holds or the arc flash escalates upstream. Four poles (4P), with the neutral on the left and neutral protection set to no protection (3D). That configuration is typical for a 3-phase + N distribution board where the neutral is switched but not protected — the neutral pole follows the phase poles without its own overload element.

The 140 mm width, 161 mm height, and 86 mm depth give you the footprint for cutout planning in a panel enclosure. IP40 enclosure protection means it is fine inside a cabinet but not for washdown environments. Mechanical durability is 40,000 cycles; electrical durability ranges from 40,000 cycles at 440 V at half rated current down to 7,500 cycles at 690 V at full rated current. For a distribution breaker that cycles a few times a year under load, that is effectively a lifetime rating. The toggle control is manual — no motor operator or rotary handle in this variant.

The C16N6TM125C carries the TM-D fixed thermal-magnetic trip. If your BOM requires an adjustable electronic trip (Micrologic), that is a different order code in the same NSX160N frame — same physical footprint, different trip unit. No direct pin-compatible alternative exists outside the ComPacT NSX family; the frame size and breaking capacity are specific to this platform.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C16N6TM125C at 415 V?

50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC, 50/60 Hz, per IEC 60947-2. This is the N breaking-capacity code.

What is the closest alternative to C16N6TM125C in the same frame?

Within the NSX160N frame, the closest alternative would be a variant with a different trip unit rating or an electronic Micrologic trip. There is no pin-compatible drop-in from another manufacturer; the ComPacT NSX platform is proprietary.

Where can I buy C16N6TM125C and how is it quoted?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance documentation does C16N6TM125C carry?

The breaker is designed to EN/IEC 60947-2, suitable for isolation per that standard. Pollution degree 3 per IEC 60664-1. IP40 per IEC 60529, IK07 per IEC 62262.
