Easypact CVS160B TM160D Circuit Breaker 4P/4R

The Easypact CVS160B TM160D 4P/4R circuit breaker by Schneider Electric is an efficient and economical solution designed to protect electrical installations in small and medium-sized buildings. This model from the EasyPact range offers excellent performance combined with a compact and robust design, ideal for ensuring the electrical protection of systems across a wide range of applications.

With a rated current of 160 A at 40 °C, the Easypact CVS160B provides advanced protection against overloads and short circuits thanks to its thermal-magnetic trip unit (TMD). The TMD unit allows precise adjustments in thermal protection (against overloads) while the magnetic protection (against short circuits) is predefined, thereby ensuring the safety of electrical systems against any variations in current flow.

This circuit breaker has a breaking capacity of 25 kA at 415 VAC and 20 kA at 440 VAC, making it a reliable option for protecting installations against high-intensity events. Additionally, the model offers surge resistance of up to 8 kV, ensuring additional protection against transient overvoltages.

The Easypact CVS160B is designed with 4 poles and uses thermal-magnetic tripping technology, providing complete protection for phases and neutral (4R configuration). Its ability to handle thermal settings between 112 A and 160 A allows for customised protection according to the specific needs of the installation, while the fixed instant detection of 1,250 A ensures an immediate response to short circuits.

Among its main advantages, the model includes:

• Mechanical durability of up to 25,000 cycles, ensuring a long lifespan and reliable operation over time, even in environments with intensive use.
• Electrical durability of 12,000 cycles at 415 V, reinforcing its resistance to the operational demands of high-activity installations.
• Ease of installation, as it can be mounted in a fixed manner via a backplate, with front connections at both ends to facilitate integration into electrical panels.
