Schneider Electric C160S3FM ComPacT NS1600NA 3P Basic Switch-Disconnector Body - Fixed Manual
1600A Frame | 3P
The Schneider Electric C160S3FM is a ComPacT NS1600NA switch-disconnector rated at 1600A in a 3-pole configuration. This basic frame, fixed-mount and manually operated, is designed for safe isolation and disconnection of electrical circuits in accordance with IEC 60947-3 standards. Unlike circuit breakers, switch-disconnectors provide no automatic overcurrent protection but ensure positive contact indication and padlockable isolation for maintenance safety. With a rated insulation voltage of 1000V and rated impulse withstand of 8kV, the NS1600NA ensures robust dielectric performance. The device is certified for pollution degree 3 industrial environments with IP40 protection and complies with IEC 60947-3 standards for switches, disconnectors, and switch-disconnectors. Physical dimensions of 327 x 210 x 147 mm enable efficient integration into switchboard assemblies. Part of the Schneider Electric ComPacT NS new generation range, the NS1600NA is suitable for main incoming isolation, bus-section switching, and maintenance disconnection in commercial buildings, manufacturing plants, and infrastructure installations. The C160S3FM features class II front-face protection for installation in class II switchboards without downgrading insulation. Green Premium ecolabel certified for environmental compliance with RoHS and REACh directives. Compatible with the full range of ComPacT NS accessories including rotary handles, voltage releases, and indication contacts for complete system integration. Compatible with motor mechanism modules for remote electrical operation, enabling automated switching in source changeover systems and emergency power applications.
