Product details

The C25S3D is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX250S DC basic frame — a three-pole DC molded-case circuit breaker rated 250 A at 40 °C with a 100 kA interrupting capacity at 750 V DC per IEC 60947-2. It ships without a trip unit, so you select and install the appropriate electronic or thermal-magnetic trip separately. The 10 ms maximum break time keeps the let-through energy low enough to protect downstream gear.

Fixed mounting on a backplate — no DIN-rail clip on this frame. The 105 mm width by 161 mm height by 86 mm depth footprint fits standard panel cutouts for the ComPacT NSX family. Front-front connections (both line and load) keep wiring accessible without reaching behind the panel. IP40 front face protection means it's fine inside a clean enclosure but not for washdown areas.

Rated impulse withstand voltage of 8 kV covers surge environments typical of overvoltage category III (fixed installation, distribution level). Mechanical durability is 10,000 cycles; electrical durability varies by load — 10,000 cycles at half rated current, 5,000 cycles at full rated current, across all voltage levels listed.

Frequently asked questions

What is the closest alternative to C25S3D in the ComPacT NSX DC family?

Within the same 250 A frame, the alternative is the 'H' breaking capacity class frame (higher interrupting rating at the same voltage). The C25S3D is the 'S' class at 100 kA / 750 V DC. The physical footprint and trip unit compatibility are the same; the difference is the fault current rating and price.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for C25S3D?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-2, with IP40 per IEC 60529 and IK07 per EN 50102. It carries suitability for isolation marking per EN/IEC 60947-2. Standard documentation includes the declaration of conformity and test certificates for the listed standards.
