The ABB XT1N160 TMD160‑1600 FF 3P is a three‑pole molded case circuit breaker (MCCB) from ABB’s Tmax XT series designed for industrial and commercial electrical protection. It combines thermal‑magnetic protection to defend electrical circuits against overloads and short‑circuits, with a fixed mounting and front‑connected terminals for installation in distribution boards, motor feeders, or panelboards. This breaker is suitable for protection of three‑phase power systems up to 690 V AC or 500 V DC and offers adjustable trip thresholds for coordinated protection schemes.
