Schneider Electric C160S3NAFM ComPacT NS1600NA 3P 1600 A 690 V Fixed Manual Switch Disconnector

The C160S3NAFM is a 3-pole Schneider Electric ComPacT NS1600NA switch-disconnector rated for an operational current (Ie) of 1600 A (AC-23A) at 690 V AC. It is a fixed, front-connected, manually-operated device for controlling and isolating LV distribution circuits ahead of downstream protection — it does not clear fault current on its own.

Selection Notes

As an NA-code device the C160S3NAFM carries no Icu rating of its own — fault clearance is left to a breaker upstream or downstream, while this unit provides the lockable, visible-break isolation point required before maintenance. Its 25 kA/0.5 s short-time withstand (Icw) means it can stay closed through a fault long enough for a coordinated breaker to trip first, rather than opening itself. Pick the 4-pole C160S4NAFM instead when the installation switches the neutral as well as the three phases.
