Schneider C12F34V160L is a ComPacT NSXm new generation earth leakage circuit breaker designed for electrical distribution applications. This 3-pole, 3D protected device has a 160 A rated current at 40 °C and is rated for operation up to 440 V AC at 50/60 Hz. It features an F performance level with a rated ultimate short-circuit breaking capacity of 36 kA at 380–415 V AC, and incorporates a MicroLogic 4.1 electronic trip unit with LSoIR protection functions.
The C12F34V160L includes integrated earth leakage protection with adjustable sensitivity settings from 30 mA to 5 A, depending on protection class, plus adjustable time delay options from 0 ms to 1000 ms. Long-time current pick-up is adjustable across 9 settings from 63 A to 160 A, while short-time protection is adjustable from 1.5 to 10 times Ir. The breaker uses EverLink connection terminals suitable for copper and aluminium conductors, with front access for both upper and lower connections.
Built for fixed mounting on a backplate, this circuit breaker supports horizontal or vertical installation and has a compact frame measuring 108 mm wide, 144 mm high and 80 mm deep. It is suitable for isolation in accordance with IEC 60947-2, has an IP40 degree of protection, and operates in ambient temperatures from -25 °C to 70 °C. Its durable construction provides high mechanical and electrical endurance for demanding industrial and commercial distribution panels.
