The Schneider Electric Compact NSX250N 4P 250A 2.2 is a 4-pole (3-phase + neutral), 250A molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the premium 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 (typically 50kA or 70kA). This device provides reliable and cost-effective protection for three-phase four-wire systems where complete overload and short-circuit protection for all live conductors is required.
