Product: Schneider C160H320FM
The C160H320FM is a high-capacity molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from Schneider Electric’s ComPacT NS1600H series. It is designed for heavy-duty electrical systems requiring high fault interruption capacity, offering protection for large industrial or commercial power networks.
Detailed Breakdown:
1. Series & Model:
-
ComPacT NS1600H
-
“1600” indicates the frame size, built for high current circuits.
-
“H” refers to a High breaking capacity version, suitable for severe fault conditions.
2. Rated Current:
-
1600 Amps (A)
-
This is the maximum continuous current the breaker can carry without tripping.
-
Suitable for main incomers, large transformer outputs, or high-demand equipment.
3. Breaking Capacity:
-
70 kA at 415 VAC
-
The breaker can interrupt a short-circuit current up to 70,000 amps safely.
-
Ideal for installations with very high fault current potential.
4. Number of Poles:
-
3 Poles (3P)
-
Provides protection for three-phase systems (L1, L2, L3).
-
Neutral is not switched or protected in this model.
5. Mounting Type:
-
Fixed
-

-
Long-time delay protection (overload)
-
Short-time delay protection (short circuit)
-
-
Settings are adjustable to match system needs.
-
No advanced features like energy metering, alarms, or remote communication.
Typical Applications:
-
Main breakers in high-capacity industrial systems
-
Generator and transformer output protection
-
Heavy-load feeders in manufacturing or processing plants
-
Panels close to large sources with high fault current
