Product details

It carries an Icu of 150 kA at 415 VAC (50/60 Hz) per IEC 60947-2, which means it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level without upstream cascading in a panel. The frame is isolation-rated (EN/IEC 60947-2) and accepts a separate trip unit (not included) to set the protection curve.

Breaking capacity and duty

At 440 VAC the Icu is 130 kA; at 220/240 VAC it reaches 150 kA. The Ics (service breaking capacity) mirrors the Icu at these voltages — 130 kA at 440 V, 150 kA at 380/415 V — meaning after interrupting a fault at those levels the breaker remains functional for immediate reclose. At 660/690 VAC the Icu drops to 20 kA, so for high-voltage applications verify coordination with the available fault current.

Fixed mounting on a backplate, 4-pole, 140 mm wide × 161 mm high × 86 mm deep. Front connection both sides, toggle control, neutral on the left. IP40 front face, IK07 impact resistance — suitable for enclosed panel installation where the front face is operator-accessible.

Environmental and electrical ratings

Rated insulation voltage 800 VAC, operational voltage 690 VAC, impulse withstand 8 kV. Class II shock protection on the front face. Mechanical durability 20,000 cycles; electrical durability varies with load — 10,000 cycles at 440 VAC at rated current, 20,000 cycles at half current.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to C25L4 in the ComPacT family?

The C25L4 is a basic frame without a trip unit. The closest functional alternative would be a ComPacT NSX250 frame with a different breaking capacity code (e.g., H, S, or N) if the 150 kA at 415 V is not required — but the C25L4 is the L-frame (150 kA) variant. No pin-compatible drop-in exists without changing the trip unit or frame rating.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C25L4?

The C25L4 is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2 and UL 60947-4-1. It carries IP40 and IK07 ratings. The front face is Class II shock-protected. Isolation suitability is confirmed per EN/IEC 60947-2. RoHS and REACH compliance documentation is available from Schneider Electric upon request.

Where can I buy C25L4 and how is it quoted?

The C25L4 is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.
