The Schneider Electric NSX100N 3P 40A 2.2 is a 3-pole, 40A molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the Compact NSX series. The "N" indicates it is equipped with a standard thermal-magnetic (TM-D) trip unit, and the "2.2" suffix denotes a specific breaking capacity variant. It provides reliable and cost-effective overload and short-circuit protection for three-phase circuits in commercial and light industrial applications.
Specifications
Parameter Specification
