Product details

The Schneider Electric C25V45E160 is a ComPacT NSX moulded-case circuit breaker with a 160 A MicroLogic 5.2 E electronic trip unit, 4 poles, and a breaking capacity of 85 kA Icu at 500 V AC 50/60 Hz per EN/IEC 60947-2. The trip unit provides L (long-time overload), S (short-time short-circuit), and I (instantaneous short-circuit) protection, plus integrated energy metering and communication of protection settings, alarm logs, power quality data, and maintenance indicators.

The 4P configuration (four protected poles) suits three-phase plus neutral applications where the neutral must be switched and protected. The MicroLogic 5.2 E adds energy metering and communication (Modbus, Ethernet options via slots), so it doubles as a panel power monitor without a separate meter.

Mounts on a backplate in horizontal or vertical orientation, flat on the back. Front connections on both upside and downside simplify bus-bar or cable routing in distribution panels. The 35 mm connection pitch matches standard DIN-rail terminal blocks for downstream wiring.
