Motor protection breaker with magnetic-only trip
The C25N3MA220 is a ComPacT NSX 250N frame circuit breaker from Schneider Electric, built specifically for motor protection. It carries a 220 A MA (magnetic-only) trip unit rated at 65 °C — no thermal element, so it responds only to short-circuit faults, leaving overload protection to a separate motor starter or thermal relay. That makes it the right choice for applications where you want the breaker to clear a fault fast without nuisance tripping on motor inrush.
Rated 90 kA Icu at 240 V AC and 50 kA at 415 V AC per IEC 60947-2, the N breaking capacity code (50 kA at 415 V) gives solid headroom for most industrial panel secondary feeds. The breaker is suitability-for-isolation certified, so it doubles as a visible disconnect in the motor branch circuit.
Integration notes
IP40 enclosure protection suits clean indoor panels; the IK07 impact rating handles routine panel access.
