Product details

The 'L' function handles overload protection via a thermal bimetal; the 'I' function handles short-circuit protection via a magnetic solenoid. It's a Category A breaker (no intentional short-time delay), so it trips instantaneously on fault — straightforward distribution protection, not selective coordination downstream. The breaking capacity hits 50 kA at 800 V AC — that's the N performance level. It's a fixed-mount breaker with front-front connections (both line and load terminals on the front face) using screw terminals. IP20 finger-safe on the front, but the terminals are live when the breaker's on; panel builders need a separate door or cover for full protection.

It's part of the EasyPact Solar range, which is Schneider's line for photovoltaic and general distribution applications. The TM-D trip unit is the standard thermal-magnetic block — no electronic adjustments, no interchangeable trip units. What you see on the nameplate is what you get: 320 A fixed, LI protection only. If the application needs ground-fault or electronic trip curves, you'd be looking at a different family (Compact NSX or EasyPact CVS with Micrologic trip units).

If the panel runs hotter — say 50 °C — the breaker must be derated per the manufacturer's thermal curve (not provided in this listing, but standard for thermal-magnetic breakers). The 26 W power dissipation per pole means the three poles together dump about 78 W into the enclosure; factor that into panel cooling calculations, especially in a sealed box. Electrical durability is 4000 cycles at rated current and voltage — that's typical for a distribution breaker not meant for frequent switching. If the breaker will be used as a disconnect that gets cycled daily, those numbers set the replacement interval. Operating altitude: 0–2000 m no derating, 2000–5000 m with derating. Storage temperature range is -35 to 85 °C — that's the handling/storage limit, not the running ambient. The overvoltage category is III (distribution level), so it's designed for fixed installations downstream of the main service entrance.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I buy SOL40N3A320 and what is the lead time?

This part is sourced and quoted to order against an RFQ through independent distribution. Availability and current pricing are confirmed at quote time — submit an RFQ for a firm price and lead time.

What is the closest alternative to SOL40N3A320 in the EasyPact Solar family?

Within the same EasyPact Solar MCCB range, the closest alternative would be a different amp rating (e.g., 250 A or 400 A) or a different breaking capacity level. The SOL40N3A320 is a 320 A, 50 kA, 3-pole variant with a TM-D trip unit — any alternative must match the frame size, pole count, and trip technology to be a direct swap.

What compliance documentation does Schneider provide for SOL40N3A320?

The breaker is certified to EN/IEC 60947-1, EN/IEC 60947-2, and EN/IEC 60947-2 Annex H. It carries a suitability-for-isolation mark per EN/IEC 60947-2. Standard Schneider documentation includes a Declaration of Conformity (CE), and the part is RoHS compliant by default for the EasyPact Solar range.

What colour is the SOL40N3A320?

The colour is Grey (RAL 7015).

What is the depth of SOL40N3A320?

The depth (D) is 105 mm.
