The Schneider Electric EasyPact CVS 160F Molded Case Circuit Breaker is a low‑voltage protection device designed for electrical distribution systems. It provides reliable protection against overloads, short circuits, and electrical faults in industrial and commercial installations. The “F” breaking capacity code signifies a higher interrupting capability compared with other codes in the CVS range. The breaker uses a thermal‑magnetic trip unit (TM‑D) for combined overload and short‑circuit protection and is suitable for fixed installation in panels, switchboards, and distribution boards
