Product details

The C25V3TM160 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX circuit breaker with a 160 A TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit, rated 85 kA Icu at 500 V AC per IEC 60947-2. The TM-D trip gives you fixed thermal overload (L) and fixed magnetic short-circuit (I) protection; no interchangeable rating plugs, so what you order is what protects the circuit.

The 105 mm width, 161 mm height, and 86 mm depth fit standard ComPacT NSX panel cutouts; if you're retrofitting an older NS or NSJ breaker, check the door cutout and busbar centers because the mounting footprint changed between generations.

If your panel runs hotter, expect a reduction; the trip unit is thermal-magnetic so the thermal element responds to both current and ambient temperature. Power dissipation is 11.78 W per pole, so three poles at 160 A shed about 35 W total — plan ventilation if the enclosure is sealed and densely packed.

Frequently asked questions

How do I get pricing and availability for C25V3TM160?

Submit an RFQ through this listing. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time through independent distribution channels.

What is the breaking capacity of C25V3TM160?

85 kA Icu at 500 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2, with 80 kA at 525 V and 75 kA at 660/690 V AC. That HB1 breaking capacity code means it's suited for high-fault panels where standard breakers would fail.
