ComPacT NSX with MicroLogic 5.2 E — 100 A, 100 kA at 690 V
The C25W45E100 is a Schneider Electric ComPacT NSX molded-case circuit breaker in the 4-pole (4P) form factor, fitted with a MicroLogic 5.2 E electronic trip unit. Rated 100 A at 40 °C, it delivers a full-rated 100 kA Icu breaking capacity at 690 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2 — meaning it can safely interrupt fault currents up to that level without upstream cascading, even on 690 V industrial mains. The 'E' designation in the trip unit adds integrated energy metering: real-time power, demand current, power quality, and time-stamped event logs accessible via the front LCD display.
The 100 kA Icu at 690 V AC is the headline figure — this breaker handles high-fault industrial environments where standard 36 kA or 50 kA units would fail. That matters for motor or transformer feeders where repeated inrush can nuisance-trip a thermal-magnetic breaker. The integrated energy meter eliminates a separate panel meter on distribution boards where per-circuit energy monitoring is required.
Integration notes
Front connections both upside and downside. Toggle control with LCD display for local status and energy data. IK07 impact resistance covers accidental tool strikes during panel maintenance.
