Schneider C16F44V100 Circuit Breaker (MCCB), ComPact NSX160F, 36kA/415VAC 4P Mic

The Schneider Electric C16F44V100 is a 4-pole ComPact NSX160F molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) with integrated Class A residual current protection, equipped with the electronic MicroLogic Vigi 4.2 protection unit. Rated at 100 A and 440 V AC, it delivers an ultimate breaking capacity of 36 kA at 380/415 V AC for demanding power distribution duties. Adjustable earth-leakage sensitivity from 30 mA to 5 A and selectable time delays enable precise selective coordination.

Features and benefits:

• Integrated Class A residual current protection with sensitivity adjustable from 30 mA to 5 A and time delay from 0 to 1 s, enabling selective coordination without an external RCD.
• Electronic MicroLogic 4.2 unit provides LSoIR protection: long-time overload, short-time short-circuit with fixed delay, instantaneous, and residual current - all in one device.
• Long-time pick-up Ir adjustable across 9 steps from 40 to 100 A with 20-minute thermal memory for accurate repeated overload management.
• Five slots for electrical auxiliaries allow integration of signaling, remote tripping, or monitoring accessories to suit panel requirements.
• Local LED indicators for device-ready (green flashing), 90% Ir warning (orange), and 105% Ir alarm (red) give at-a-glance status without opening the panel.

Applications:

• Main and sub-distribution boards in commercial and industrial installations requiring combined overload, short-circuit, and earth fault protection on a single 4-pole device.
• Industrial switchgear assemblies with prospective short-circuit currents up to 36 kA at 415 V AC.
• Power distribution systems where selective earth-leakage coordination is achieved using the adjustable time delay settings.
• Fixed-mounted low-voltage switchgear operating at voltages up to 440 V AC in buildings, factories, and infrastructure projects.

Compliant with EN/IEC 60947-2. Part of the Schneider Electric ComPact NSX new generation range.
