The Schneider MT100/160 is a Molded Case Circuit Breaker (MCCB) designed to provide overcurrent protection for 3-phase electrical circuits. It is part of Schneider Electric's Masterpact MT series, which offers high-performance protection for industrial, commercial, and heavy-duty applications.
Parameters:
Rated Current (In): Available in 100A and 160A variants (depending on the model).
Poles: 3P (Three-pole) or 4P (Four-pole), suitable for 3-phase electrical systems with or without neutral.
Rated Voltage (Un): Typically 415V AC (standard for 3-phase systems)
Rated Frequency: 50/60Hz
Breaking Capacity (Icu): 50kA (maximum fault current the MCCB can safely interrupt without causing damage)
Overload Protection: Yes, provided by the MICROLOGIC trip unit, which includes adjustable overload settings based on the installation’s needs.
Short Circuit Protection: Yes, the breaker includes magnetic short-circuit protection to provide instantaneous disconnection in the event of a short circuit.
Earth Fault Protection: Yes, available in models with earth fault protection, particularly useful in preventing electric shocks or damage from leakage currents.
Insulation Resistance: ≥ 100MΩ (at 500V DC)
Ambient Temperature Range: -25°C to +60°C (suitable for diverse environments and conditions)
Mechanical Durability: 20,000 operations
Electrical Durability: 4,000 operations (under rated current and short-circuit conditions)
Auxiliary Contacts: Available for signaling or remote monitoring
