The Schneider Electric Compact NSX630L 3P 500A is a 3-pole, 500A molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from the premium Compact NSX series. The "L" suffix designates a specific high breaking capacity variant (typically 150kA). This high-performance device is engineered for main distribution and critical feeder protection in industrial and infrastructure applications where very high fault currents are present, requiring superior interrupting capability and reliability.
