The Schneider Electric EVS16H3MF20 is a 3-pole EasyPact EVS circuit breaker with a 1600 A rated current (In) at 40 °C and a 65 kA Icu breaking capacity at 220...440 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. The electronic EVS Trip System2.0 provides LI protection (long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit) with a 20-minute thermal memory before and after tripping, which means it remembers the heat profile of a prior overload and won't reclose into a still-hot conductor. This is a Category B circuit breaker (IEC 60947-2), meaning it's designed for distribution duty with intentional short-time delay coordination — not just cable protection. Pollution degree 4 per IEC 60664-1 means it's rated for continuous conductive contamination (condensation, heavy dust), so it belongs in an enclosure that keeps the environment at IP40 or better — the breaker itself carries IP40.
Fixed-mount design, rear-connected, with a 115 mm connection pitch without spreader. Mounts on a rail or base plate — the 422 mm width and 352 mm height fit a standard switchboard cubicle. Vertical or horizontal connection orientation gives you flexibility in busbar layout. The manually operated control type means no motor operator is integrated; if remote closing is needed, plan for an external operator accessory.
Electrical durability at 440/690 V AC is 5,000 cycles (Category B, no maintenance) per IEC 60947-2. Maximum breaking time is 25 ms, maximum closing response time 70 ms — fast enough for most coordination schemes but check your upstream device's let-through curve if you're running a fully selective system.
