Product details

The C25F42D250 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX250F circuit breaker rated 250 A at 40 °C with a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit. The 85 kA Icu at 240 V AC is the maximum fault current it can safely interrupt once; at 415 V AC the breaking capacity is 36 kA Icu, which covers most industrial distribution panels fed from a typical 400 V transformer.

Mounts on a backplate in either horizontal or vertical orientation — flat on the back, no DIN rail. The 161 mm height, 140 mm width, and 86 mm depth (35 mm connection pitch) fit standard distribution panel cutouts for the NSX frame. Front connections top and bottom simplify busbar and cable routing. IP40 enclosure protection and IK07 impact resistance suit indoor panel environments, not washdown zones.

Durability and thermal memory

Rated for 20,000 mechanical cycles and 20,000 electrical cycles at 440 V at half rated current (In/2), or 10,000 cycles at full rated current. That matters for motor feeders or pulsed loads where repeated inrush could otherwise nuisance-trip on the second event.
