Product Description

It uses a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit with fixed overload and short-circuit settings, delivering 25 kA Icu at 220/240 V AC and 18 kA Icu at 380/400 V AC to IEC 60947-2. The 3-pole, 3D unit is rated 690 V insulation and 6 kV impulse withstand, with a 440 V AC working voltage. It is a fixed, panel-mounted device operated by a front handle and is designed for compact distribution boards and machine control panels. The Schneider Electric Osmart NSC160S is a 160 A frame molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) for low-voltage power distribution and final circuit protection.

  • Rated insulation voltage Ui 690 V and impulse withstand Uimp 6 kV
  • Mechanical life 10,000 operations and electrical life 5,000 operations
  • Front-connect terminals, 35 mm phase distance and base mounting
  • 160 A frame, 3-pole (3P) fixed-pattern molded case circuit breaker

Technical Specifications

Version & Model Difference

The NSC160S is the 160 A frame in the Osmart NSC range, offered as a 3-pole fixed breaker with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit; other ratings in the same frame and 4-pole versions are configured differently. This is a molded case (MCCB) device, not a miniature or residual-current breaker, so verify pole count, rated current and trip unit before ordering.

Application Scenarios

  • Main and sub-distribution boards in commercial and industrial buildings
  • Machine control panels and motor feeder protection
  • Protection of feeders to downstream distribution boards and large loads
  • Schneider LC1D150M7C Contactor (150A, 220VAC, 3-Pole)
  • Schneider P343318H3M0368k MiCOM P343 Generator Protection Relay
  • Schneider MiCOM P342 Generator Backup Protection Relay (P342318L3M0368J)
  • Schneider P39191R00A Rotary Ground Injection Unit (Rotor Earth Fault Module)
  • Schneider Electric MiCOM P991 Test Block
  • Schneider MiCOM P643 Transformer Differential Protection Relay (P643318E3M0A08K)
  • Schneider Electric MiCOM P142 Feeder Management Relay
