The Schneider NSX 3P 100N 16A is a 3-pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the NSX series, designed for overload and short-circuit protection in electrical circuits, particularly in three-phase systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems.
Current Rating: 16A
Frame Size: 100N (denotes the frame size and its associated protection level)
Rated Voltage: Typically 400V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal-Magnetic Protection: Provides both overload protection (thermal) and short-circuit protection (magnetic) to ensure safe operation.
Magnetic Trip: Provides instantaneous disconnection when a short circuit is detected, preventing further damage to the system.
Adjustable Thermal Trip Settings: The breaker’s thermal overload protection is adjustable, allowing it to be fine-tuned for different system requirements.
Breaking Capacity: Typically 10 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Disconnects the circuit if the current exceeds the rated value for a prolonged period, protecting the circuit and equipment from overheating.
Short-Circuit Protection: Provides rapid disconnection in the event of a short circuit, preventing damage to electrical components.
Manual Reset: After the breaker trips due to a fault, it can be manually reset once the fault is cleared.
