What type of circuit breaker is this?
This is an EasyPact CVS160F molded-case circuit breaker designed for AC electrical distribution. It uses a thermal-magnetic TM-D trip unit to provide overload and short-circuit protection.
What is the rated current?
The rated current is 160 A at an ambient temperature of 40°C. Its adjustable thermal protection range is 112–160 A, equivalent to 0.7–1 times the rated current.
How many poles does this circuit breaker have?
It has four poles, with three protected poles. The neutral pole is positioned on the left and does not have overcurrent protection, corresponding to a 4P 3D configuration.
What is the short-circuit breaking capacity?
The rated ultimate breaking capacity is 70 kA at 220/240 V AC and 36 kA at both 380/415 V AC and 440 V AC, in accordance with IEC 60947-2.
What is the rated service breaking capacity?
The rated service breaking capacity is 70 kA at 220/240 V AC, 36 kA at 380/415 V AC, and 18 kA at 440 V AC.
What type of trip unit is fitted?
The LV516343 is fitted with a TM-D thermal-magnetic trip unit. Thermal protection responds to sustained overloads, while magnetic protection provides instantaneous response to high short-circuit currents.
Is the instantaneous trip setting adjustable?
No. The instantaneous magnetic pickup is fixed at 1,250 A. The long-time thermal pickup is adjustable, while its time delay is fixed.
Does it include earth-leakage protection?
No. This configuration is supplied without integrated or add-on Vigi earth-leakage protection. Any required earth-leakage function must be addressed separately when designing the installation.
What electrical network is it intended for?
It is intended for AC distribution networks operating at 50 or 60 Hz. The breaker is classified as utilization Category A.
How is the circuit breaker mounted and connected?
It is a fixed, backplate-mounted circuit breaker with front access for both upper and lower connections. It uses screw terminals with a 35 mm connection pitch.
What are the product dimensions?
The circuit breaker measures 161 mm high, 140 mm wide, and 86 mm deep. Its listed net weight is approximately 1.9 kg.
What is the operating temperature range?
The specified ambient operating range is -25°C to 70°C. The specified storage temperature range is -50°C to 85°C.
What degree of ingress protection does it provide?
The circuit breaker has an IP40 protection rating under the stated product conditions. Final enclosure selection and installation arrangement can affect the overall protection level of the assembly.
Which electrical standards does it conform to?
The device conforms to IEC 60947-2 and EN 60947-2 requirements for low-voltage circuit breakers. It also has an 8 kV rated impulse withstand voltage.
What is its expected mechanical and electrical durability?
The specified mechanical durability is 25,000 operating cycles. Electrical durability is rated at 12,000 cycles at 415 V and rated current under the stated IEC 60947-2 conditions.
Does it show the position of the contacts?
Yes. The breaker includes a contact-position indicator and is operated using a front toggle mechanism.
