Product details

The 160 A rating at 50 °C means the breaker carries full load continuously at that ambient; above that, derating applies per the manufacturer's curves.

Mounts on a backplate (not DIN rail) in horizontal or vertical orientation. The 4-pole form factor (4P) with neutral on the left and front-facing connections simplifies busbar and cable routing inside the enclosure.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C16N6TM160C at 415 V?

50 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C16N6TM160C?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and carries suitability for isolation per that standard. The evidence does not list RoHS or REACH declarations, but these are typically available from Schneider's documentation portal.
