Product details

What the 100 kA and MicroLogic 2.2 mean on your panel

The C25W32D160 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX circuit breaker rated 160 A at 40 °C with a MicroLogic 2.2 electronic trip unit. That's a serious short-circuit rating for industrial distribution, sized for high-fault panels downstream of large transformers or near the service entrance. That So curve with the fixed time delay lets you coordinate selectively with downstream breakers — the 2.2 holds for a set time before tripping on a short, so the fault clears closer to the load instead of taking out the whole panel.

Mounting, wiring, and what fits in the enclosure

Front connections top and bottom, with a 35 mm connection pitch that matches standard busbar systems. Five accessory slots let you add shunt trips, auxiliary contacts, or a motor operator without breaking down the breaker. The toggle control is manual — no motor operator included, but one can go in a slot.

The 100 kA Icu at 690 V AC is the ultimate breaking capacity; the service breaking capacity (Ics) is typically 50% or 100% of Icu per IEC 60947-2, so verify coordination studies against the Ics value if your design uses the breaker for through-faults.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of C25W32D160 at 690 V?

100 kA Icu at 660/690 V AC 50/60 Hz conforming to IEC 60947-2. It also carries 100 kA at 500 V and 525 V AC.

Where can I buy the C25W32D160?

We source the C25W32D160 to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Contact us for current availability and pricing at quote time.

What protection curves does the MicroLogic 2.2 trip unit provide?

L (long-time overload), So (short-time short-circuit with fixed delay), and I (instantaneous short-circuit). The So delay enables selective coordination with downstream breakers.
