The Schneider Electric C40F31M320 is a ComPacT NSX400F motor circuit breaker, 3-pole, rated 320 A at 65 °C, with a MicroLogic 1.3 M electronic trip unit. It's built for motor protection in industrial power distribution, meeting EN/IEC 60947-2.
The MicroLogic 1.3 M trip unit provides electronic short-time (S) and instantaneous (I) protection, tailored for motor starting inrush. The 320 A rating at 65 °C gives you headroom in a warm panel — no derating panic if the ambient climbs. Breaking capacity steps from 40 kA at 240 V down to 10 kA at 690 V AC; at 480 V AC it's 35 kA per UL 60947-4-1, which covers most North American motor branch circuits.
IK07 impact rating handles the odd dropped tool.
Electrical durability: 12,000 cycles at 440 V at half rated current, 6,000 at full load. Mechanical life is 15,000 cycles.
