Schneider Electric E160H420FM EasyPact CVS1600H 4P 1600 A 70 kA ETS 2.0 Fixed Moulded Case Circuit Breaker

The Schneider Electric E160H420FM is a 1600 A EasyPact CVS1600H moulded case circuit breaker for low-voltage electrical distribution, built on a high-breaking H frame. Its ETS 2.0 electronic trip unit gives adjustable long-time overload and instantaneous short-circuit protection (LI), and the 4-pole, 4D frame breaks 70 kA at 380/415 V AC under IEC 60947-2.

Selection Notes

Pick the H frame on the incomer or anywhere upstream fault current can reach 70 kA at 380/415 V -- it is the highest-breaking frame at this amperage. The 4-pole frame adds switched neutral protection, selectable at 0.5 x Ir for a half-protected N/2 conductor or 1 x Ir for a fully protected neutral -- relevant on TT or TN-S systems carrying unbalanced single-phase loads. Within the 1600 A CVS1600 frame size, E160H420FM (H class) sits alongside breaking-class siblings at the same amperage -- move up a class if downstream fault studies show higher prospective short-circuit current than 70 kA at 380/415 V, since the ETS 2.0 long-time setting only trims down to 0.4 x In (640 A) and cannot raise the frame's current rating.
