Product details

Breaking capacity is the real selection gate here: 40 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC, 25 kA at 380/400 V, and 20 kA at 440 V — all per IEC 60947-2. The 25 kA at 400 V covers most European distribution panels; the 40 kA at 240 V suits North American 240/120 V services.

Fixed mounting on a backplate with a 35 mm connection pitch — standard for DIN-rail-compatible busbar systems. The 105 mm width × 161 mm height × 86 mm depth footprint fits a standard MCCB cutout. The neutral position is on the left, and the toggle control is front-accessible for manual switching.

Durability and duty-cycle expectations

Electrical durability is 25,000 cycles at 415 V at half rated current (In/2) per IEC 60947-2, and 8,000 cycles at 400 V at full rated current per GB 14048.2. Mechanical durability is 25,000 cycles per IEC standard. These numbers matter if the breaker is used as a disconnect switch under load — frequent switching will wear the contacts faster than the mechanical count suggests. For infrequent protection-only duty (most distribution panels), these cycles are effectively life-of-installation.

Frequently asked questions

What is the breaking capacity of the EZS160E3100 at 400 V?

25 kA Icu at 380/400 V AC 50/60 Hz per IEC 60947-2. At 440 V it drops to 20 kA; at 240 V it rises to 40 kA.

What trip unit does the EZS160E3100 use?

A TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit rated at 100 A at 40 °C, with fixed long-time pickup at 1× In and an instantaneous magnetic trip set at 1000 A (10× In).

Where can I buy the EZS160E3100 and how is it quoted?

Sourced to order through independent distribution against an RFQ. Submit a request with your target quantity and delivery window; availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time.

What compliance standards does the EZS160E3100 meet?

It complies with IEC 60947-2 and EN 60947-2 for circuit breakers, with a rated insulation voltage of 690 V and pollution degree 3 per IEC 60947-1. The IP40 enclosure rating and IK07 impact protection are per IEC 60529 and IEC 62262 respectively.
