The C25B44V160 is a 160 A, 4-pole (4P) ComPacT NSX moulded-case circuit breaker from Schneider Electric. The 160 A trip unit rating at 40 °C sets the continuous current limit for a distribution feeder — size the upstream conductor and downstream load for that ampacity. The 'R' function is integrated, so this breaker handles both overcurrent and ground-fault protection in one device — no separate Vigi module needed. Breaking capacity: 40 kA Icu at 240 V AC, 25 kA Icu at 415 V AC, 20 kA at 440 V, and 15 kA at 500 V.
Deployment context
Mounts on a backplate in any orientation — horizontal, vertical, or flat. The 140 mm width, 161 mm height, and 86 mm depth fit standard distribution panel cutouts. IP40 enclosure protection means it's suited for indoor, clean-environment panels; the IK07 impact rating withstands incidental tool contact during installation.
Covers breaking capacity ratings, utilisation category A, and overvoltage category IV.
