The C25H42D250 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX250H molded-case circuit breaker with a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit, rated 250 A at 40 °C across 4 poles. The H breaking capacity code delivers 100 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC and 70 kA Icu at 380/415 V AC, both per IEC 60947-2 — that headroom means it clears high-fault currents on a distribution bus without upstream coordination issues.
Mounts on a backplate in either horizontal or vertical orientation, flat on the back — no DIN-rail clip, so plan for bolted panel mounting. Front connections on both the upside and downside simplify bus-bar or cable routing in a distribution panel. The 4-pole layout with neutral on the left fits standard switchboard phase arrangements. IP40 front face and IK07 impact resistance are adequate for enclosed panel environments; keep the enclosure door closed during operation.
Durability and environment
Rated for 20,000 mechanical cycles and up to 20,000 electrical cycles at 440 V at half-rated current (10,000 at full rated current). The thermal memory holds the trip profile for 20 minutes before and after a trip event, so re-energizing a hot breaker doesn't nuisance-trip on a second overload.
