The Schneider CVS 3P 400F 400A is a 3-pole circuit breaker from the CVS series, designed for overload, short-circuit protection, and high fault current interruption in three-phase electrical systems.
Specifications:
Type: Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB)
Number of Poles: 3P (3 poles) – Suitable for three-phase systems
Current Rating: 400A
Frame Size: 400F (indicating the frame size for the 400A version)
Rated Voltage: Typically 415V (for three-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60 Hz
Tripping Characteristics:
Thermal Protection: Provides overload protection, disconnecting the circuit if the current exceeds the rated value for an extended period to prevent overheating and damage to the wiring.
Magnetic Protection: Offers instantaneous protection against short circuits by rapidly disconnecting the circuit to prevent damage from high fault currents.
Adjustable Settings: The thermal and magnetic settings are adjustable, allowing the user to fine-tune the protection to meet specific application needs.
Breaking Capacity: 50 kA at 415V (maximum fault current the breaker can safely interrupt)
Protection Features:
Overload Protection: Disconnects the circuit when it experiences prolonged overload conditions, protecting electrical components and wiring.
Short-Circuit Protection: Provides instantaneous disconnection during short-circuits, ensuring that the system is protected from the damaging effects of high fault currents.
Manual Reset: After the breaker trips, it can be manually reset once the fault is cleared.
